Seven signs you need professional drain cleaning in Boston

Do you notice gurgling sounds, backed-up water or strange odors coming from the drains in your Boston home? 

These sounds and odors could be signs you need professional drain cleaning services.

Clogged and slow-flowing drains are common issues in Boston-area homes, and trained plumbers have high-powered equipment to clear even the toughest obstructions.

Call Plumbers 911 Boston for a referral to our licensed contractors who can clean any kind of drain in your Boston home or business. Our affiliated contractors perform both emergency drain cleaning and regular maintenance of your sewer lines.

Watch out for these seven warning signs that it is time to call for drain cleaning services:

1. Gurgling noises and strange odors

That gurgling sound coming from your drain, particularly when you are not using water, likely means there is a partial clog buildup. As waste and water squeeze by, air bubbles make gurgling noises. Foul rotten egg, sewage or musty odors also mean gas is escaping from the blockage.

2. Water backing up

Water pooling around drains or overflowing from sinks and toilets is a sign of a major clog. Proper drainage requires steady water flow, so any backup or flooding indicates the pipes are obstructed and need to be snaked.

3. Slow water drainage

Sluggish shower and sink drainage that takes much longer than normal, with water pooling, reveals a drainage blockage. Standing water and delays signal it is time to contact a plumber to unclog your drains.

4. Frequent clogged drains

If you find yourself regularly plunging drains – every few weeks or months – to clear standing water or resume flow, you likely have a chronic drain blockage issue that requires professional help.

5. Unflushable waste

If your waste does not flush, there is a good chance your main sewer line has a major clog. Solid waste getting caught by things like roots or other sewer obstructions means no-go when you attempt to flush the commode. 

6. High-risk clog areas

The kitchen sink, branch lines, laundry and main sewer connections tend to get clogged more often due to configuration and heavy use. Recurring clogs in these high-risk areas require professional drain cleaning services.

7. Persistent drain issues

While liquid drain cleaners may seem convenient, they usually cannot break up tough clogs. Only professional-grade snake augers can clear stubborn grease, soap residue, food, hair, feminine products and tree roots.
