Drain Cleaning Santa Cruz

Signs You Need Drain Cleaning

Sometimes, it’s pretty clear that you need drain cleaning in Santa Cruz. You may have a clog that you can’t clear. However, if the problem goes deeper than that, it can be hard to tell exactly what needs to happen. Here are some signs that indicate you need Santa Cruz drain cleaning:

Your clog has created a plumbing emergency. If there’s water flowing all over your kitchen or bathroom because of a clogged drain, call our drain cleaning services team right away. We’ll do our best to limit the damage done to your home.

• Repeated clogs. Every home suffers a clogged drain now and then. Maybe you put too much down it at once or your children washed something down that doesn’t belong there. If, however, your drains need cleaning regularly, it’s time to call a plumber. We can figure out why the problem keeps repeating itself and fix it once and for all.
• Clogs throughout the house. If all of your drains start clogging at once, that’s a sign that there’s a problem somewhere down the line. All of your drains flow into your sewer, so you may need to have that line cleaned out. When one drain has an issue, the problem is likely local. When they all have issues, you’ll want a professional to figure out what’s going on.
• A sewer smell. If your clogged drains come accompanied by a bad smell, it means that there is a clog in one of your larger pipes or in your sewer. Usually, sewer gases escape the same way the water does – by going down the drain. When they can’t escape that way, they will often come back into your home and you’ll smell them until you deal with the problem.
• Wet spots in your yard. Sometimes a sewer clog will cause backflow into your yard, rather than into your home. If you notice wet spots in your yard that you can’t explain any other way, call a plumber. He or she can tell you if the problem is with your sewer and what needs to be done to clean that drain.
