Early Signs Your Drain May Be Starting to Clog

Drain problems rarely happen out of nowhere. In most cases, there are early warning signs that are easy to miss until a backup occurs.

• Slow drainage: Water taking longer than usual to clear from sinks, tubs, or showers is often the first sign of buildup.
• Recurring clogs: If the same drain keeps clogging, the issue is likely deeper in the line, not just at the surface.
• Gurgling sounds: Bubbling or gurgling noises can indicate trapped air caused by partial blockages.
• Unpleasant odors: Persistent smells from drains often mean debris is collecting inside the pipe.

Addressing these signs early can help prevent larger, more disruptive plumbing issues. Routine drain maintenance keeps pipes flowing and reduces the risk of unexpected backups.
