Are your drains giving off unpleasant odors or clogging often? These are clear signs that you need professional drain repair right away. Ignoring these issues can lead to major clogs, leaks, or even pipe damage.
Below, we’ve highlighted five indicators that it’s time to call a plumber. For more helpful tips, including advice on drain cleaning, contact us today.
1. Your Sinks Take Forever To Drain
When you run the water in your kitchen sink, does it seem to sit there and drain slowly? While it eventually goes down, the delay is a sign of a partial blockage in your pipes. If left untreated, the water could stop draining altogether. Call a professional to clear the blockage before it worsens.
2. You Notice Smelly Drains
Are you noticing a foul odor, like rotting food or, even worse, sewage? If food is trapped in your pipes, it could be from something you accidentally tossed down the garbage disposal, such as onion peels or pasta. These types of sticky, stringy foods can clog the disposal, as it isn’t designed to handle them.
A sewage smell is a more serious issue. Raw sewage is not only unpleasant but also carries harmful bacteria that can pose health risks.
3. Your Drains Make Unsettling Gurgling Sounds
If you hear gurgling when you run the water, this is one of the biggest signs you need professional drain repair. Gurgling sounds happen when water flows over a blockage, causing the formation of air bubbles. Call an expert to handle the clog before it becomes a bigger issue.
4. You Regularly Reach for the Plunger
Do you experience clogs with alarming regularity? This points to a problem deep in your pipes that you can’t reach. Plunging and using drain cleaners may remove part of the blockage, but unless you address the deeper issue, the clog will keep coming back. A plumber can resolve the problem by running a snake down the line to dislodge anything caught there.
5. You Have Clogged Pipes Throughout Your House
Are your sinks, showers, and toilets all clogging or backing up? This is a sign of a system-wide problem that requires the help of a professional. You most likely have a clog somewhere in the main sewer line that’s impacting your entire house.
To resolve this problem, plumbers may use a technique called hydrojetting, which involves blasting the clog with high-pressure water. It’s a great option for tough situations where tree roots and soil are blocking the line.

When I needed a plumber due to a water issue at my home, Superior was the only company who not only responded with the quickest appointment time but called to let me know that due to a cancellation they were able to come even sooner. I especially appreciated the text message I received prior to the technician arriving, showing me his picture as well as his name.

They were able to respond quickly when our water heater quit working. One of their plumbers came to the house, inspected heater, recommended replacement and explained clearly why he was recommending replacement. He then gave options of different prices and types of heaters. Once we made our choice they completed the work the next day. I would recommend this company without a question.
