Do Your Blocked Drains Require Professional Intervention? Here's How You Can Tell

Usually, your drainage system will display signs indicating that it's failing. If you know what each symptom signifies, it will be easy to explain the problem to professional plumbers when you call them in for repairs. But, how do you know that your blocked drains require a professional's intervention? Look out for the following signs:

Your Drains Have Multiple Clogs That Keeps Recurring

If your drainage system keeps clogging, you need a plumber's intervention to solve the problem. The clogs might be on one side of your drainage system or different parts, making it difficult for wastewater to flow down the drains. Whatever the case, you should take immediate action when you notice the sign of clogging on your drainage system.

That's why you need to hire a professional plumber to inspect and determine the cause of the clogs. Then, they will deep clean your drains to enable wastewater to flow properly and prevent the situation from occurring again in the future.

Your House Has Unusual Smells 

If your house has strange smells and you don't know where they are coming from, your drains may be the cause. The smells might be resulting from the food remains and organic matter that might have decayed inside the drains.

Without the skills and tools to unblock your drains, it might be hard to remove the decayed food remains that might be causing the awful smell in your house. So, you should call in a professional plumber who will use the right tools and their expertise to remove the food remains and eliminate the bad odours.

There Are Pests, Mould or Mildew on Different Areas of Your House

When your drains get blocked, different waste products will decay inside them. That will attract flies, cockroaches and other pests that feed on waste. And, as the pests and cockroaches lay eggs and multiply inside the pipes, they will prevent wastewater from flowing smoothly, which might lead to the development of mould and mildew.

So, if you notice the presence of pests, mould or mildew around your drains, it's time to call in a competent plumber to clean your drains. The decision will keep away pests and other harmful substances that might be dangerous to your health.

If you notice any of the signs above, your drains might have clogged and you should hire an experienced and authorised plumber to inspect your drainage system and clean it to enable it to flow properly and improve the quality of air inside your house.
