Signs You Need Drain Cleaning
There are a few common signs that drain cleaning in Cedar Rapids is necessary for your home. Don’t hesitate to call us to consult and see if what you’re experiencing warrants a drain cleaning service.
It’s Been Awhile
If you haven’t kept up with regular drain cleanings, you should request one to ensure the build-up in your plumbing system stays in check. Even if you take good care of your pipes, it’s likely that food scraps, grease, soap scum, hair, and other items will accumulate over time, forming potential clogs.
Slow Drains
This is an early sign that your drains need cleaning. Slow drains throughout your home can also be a sign of a problem with your sewer line, so it is important to get them checked out immediately.
Water Backing Up
You may notice that when you run your dishwasher or washing machine water backs up into sinks, tubs, or other drains. This is usually a sign that there is a problem with your drain line that can only be repaired with drain cleaning.
Standing Water
Water that won’t drain at all is a warning sign. This can appear in your tubs or sinks and is often a nuisance as you attempt to use your plumbing features and fixtures.
Bad Smells
If you notice an odor near your drains, especially near your kitchen sink, you could have an obstruction caused by food in the drain. When your drains are cleaned, your kitchen or bathroom will once again smell fresh.
High Utility Bills
If your water bills have increased recently, this could be a sign that you have a leak or your plumbing system is otherwise inefficient. In particular, when combined with any of the symptoms above, high water bills may mean you have a leak caused by a clogged drain, which will immediately require the attention of a plumber.
Why Call a Professional
You may be tempted to solve your plumbing woes on your own, especially if you think you have a simple clog. But, there are many benefits to working with a professional plumber for drain cleaning in Cedar Rapids. Here are a few:
- Professionals diagnose the full extent of the problem. If you notice a clogged drain, you may only be able to identify the symptoms rather than the cause of the issue without the proper equipment. We can use cameras and other useful equipment to fully evaluate your plumbing system.
- Our drain cleaning solutions are thorough and last longer. Professionals have the means to truly clear your drains of clogs and improve water flow. Our services will have a longer-lasting impact than anything you can do yourself.
- Don’t worry about damaging your system. Using tools you don’t understand can lead to damage to your pipes or fixtures. And, chemical drain cleaning solutions can cause your pipes to corrode with repeated use. Our experts at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing of Eastern Iowa have trained extensively to properly execute services like drain cleaning.
- Sit back and relax. Doesn’t it feel better to let a pro take care of your problem? The only way to have true peace of mind that your drains are well and fully cleaned is by working with a licensed and insured professional.
We pride ourselves on offering reasonable prices, with up-front pricing available. We provide financing options so you can pay in manageable installments too.
