Clogged Drain Overflow

The plumbing problem

Plumbing systems, by the very nature of their construction, will always face the issues of clogging, blockages and build up. These problems are inherent to any plumbing system, anywhere in the world, regardless of material or size.

We’ve all faced the frustrating and sometimes distressing issue of a clogged toilet, a backed-up sink or blocked shower drain--likely many times over. In most of these situations, a plunger, a simple drain snake, or even some vinegar can save the day and avert a crisis, but this isn’t always the case.

In more severe situations, there comes a time to put down the plunger and call for some professional help.

The warning signs

So how do you know when it's time to admit defeat? And for that matter, is there a way to spot the problem before it begins? Well, as with anything, there are typically warning signs before the eventual issue becomes unmanaged. With drains and plumbing systems in general, there are a few ways to spot an impending problem.

• Slow drainage in a sink, bathtub or shower after water accumulates
• Pools of water near sinks, bathtubs, showers and floor drains
• Toilet-water-bubbling when sinks or other water sources are running
• Drains gurgling after running water appliances, such as dishwashers and washing machines
• Odors of rotten food or sediment emanating from sink drains or shower and tub drains
• Sewage smells from toilets
