Signs You Need Drain Cleaning with an Electric Snake or Auger

Clogged drains can be a real headache, causing inconvenience and potential damage to your plumbing system. When you start noticing these signs, it's a clear indication that your drains may need professional attention and cleaning using an electric snake or auger:

Slow Draining: If you notice that water is taking longer than usual to drain from sinks, showers, or tubs, it could be a sign of a partial blockage in the drain pipes. Over time, debris, grease, hair, and other substances can accumulate and restrict the flow of water.

​

Foul Odors: Unpleasant odors coming from your drains, especially when the water is running or shortly after, indicate the presence of decomposing organic matter. This can be due to food particles, grease buildup, or other debris that has become trapped in the pipes.

​

Gurgling Sounds: Strange gurgling or bubbling noises coming from your drains or toilet when using water fixtures in other parts of the house can be an indication of a blocked or partially blocked drain. The air trapped in the pipes tries to escape and creates these sounds.

​

Water Backing Up: The most obvious sign of a drain blockage is water backing up or overflowing from sinks, showers, or toilets. This indicates a severe obstruction in the drain line that requires immediate attention to prevent further damage.

​

Multiple Clogged Fixtures: If you have multiple fixtures in your home experiencing drainage issues simultaneously, it suggests a more significant problem in the main drain line. This could be caused by a blockage further down the pipeline or a sewer line issue.

​

If you're experiencing any of these signs, it's time to consider professional drain cleaning using an electric snake or auger. These tools are specifically designed to break through and clear out stubborn clogs and debris, restoring proper water flow and preventing further plumbing issues.
