What Are Common Drain Problems Homeowners Experience?

Common drain problems include slow drainage, foul odors, recurring clogs, and water backups. These issues are often caused by grease buildup, soap scum, hair, or foreign objects blocking the pipes. If left untreated, they can lead to more serious plumbing problems.

How Can I Prevent My Drains from Clogging?

To prevent clogs, avoid pouring grease, coffee grounds, or food scraps down the drain. Use drain strainers to catch hair and debris, and flush drains regularly with hot water. Routine maintenance can help keep your drains flowing smoothly.

Why Do My Drains Smell Bad?

Foul-smelling drains are often caused by food debris, grease buildup, or bacteria growing inside the pipes. A dry P-trap, which normally prevents sewer gases from escaping, can also cause odors. Professional drain maintenance can remove buildup and eliminate bad smells.

What Causes Slow Drainage?

Slow drainage is typically caused by partial clogs, buildup of grease and soap residue, or tree root intrusion. Over time, these blockages restrict water flow and can lead to complete drain failure. Addressing slow drains early can prevent major plumbing issues.

Can Chemical Drain Cleaners Damage My Pipes?

Yes, store-bought chemical drain cleaners contain harsh ingredients that can corrode pipes over time. They may provide temporary relief but often fail to fully clear clogs. Professional drain services are a safer and more effective solution.

What Should I Do If My Drain Keeps Backing Up?

If you experience frequent drain backups, avoid using the drain and call a plumber for an inspection. Backups can indicate a deeper clog or a problem with your sewer line. A professional assessment can determine the best solution to restore proper drainage.

Why Is Water Pooling Around My Floor Drain?

Pooling water around a floor drain often signals a clog or a main line backup. This can lead to serious water damage if not addressed quickly. A plumber can diagnose the issue and clear any blockages before they worsen.

When Should I Call a Plumber for a Drain Issue?

You should call a plumber if you have recurring clogs, slow drains, foul odors, or water backups. These issues often indicate deeper plumbing problems that require professional attention. Timely repairs can prevent costly damage and ensure your drains function properly.

I had my hot water tank replaced, sump pump replaced, a water pressure backup sump pump added to my system and a whole home Halo Ion filter also added to reduce scaling. The entire scope was completed as previously described to me by the estimator Shawn Miller. Nick Orcutt and Mike Hehir were the technicians who completed the work. They were professional, courteous and clean. Some slight modifications had to be made to the piping runs that were discussed prior to making the changes. There were no leaks, no damage, all removed equipment was taken away, no mess to clean up. Floor covering was put down, even on the basement stairs. They put on and removed foot coverings every time they entered or left the house. No change to any of the pricing as originally quoted. I had the completed paperwork by email before they left. Perfect job by Roy’s!

Roy's Plumbing did an excellent job on my sump pump discharge and bubbler system. I had a lot of water so it made the job a muddy mess, but for the time of year, it is to be expected. My sump pump has already slowed down on running. I would recommend Roy's Plumbing for your plumbing and sump pump needs.

Noah arrived on time to replace my water heater. He was polite and explained the process in detail. He was patient and thorough. This replacement was a tough one. He cleaned up and took the time to make sure I understood what was done and what I needed to know about my new water heater. Answered my questions and reminded me to make sure I take advantage of my maintenance membership. I have used Roy’s services a few times for big jobs and their prices are better than most and the service has been amazing. I trust them with my home needs. Thanks Noah for being so awesome!

Josh B. Did an excellent job today with an issue I have had for a few years. Pro chain cleaning was recommended, and it did the trick. Would suggest this method for stubborn clogs that develop in longer drain lines where a standard diameter snake doesn’t work.

Needed to have kitchen/laundry room plumbing looked at due to a clog that persisted to happen every 2-3 years with build up. Other companies typically will just snake it & move on. Roy's took the time to get to the root of the issue & re did the plumbing lines so hopefully it will not happen again. From the diagnoser to the installer, the whole team was quick, efficient, & friendly!

Great service. The technician (Ryan) was awesome. He arrived literally within minutes of the service call ( he was finishing a job in my neighborhood) quickly diagnosed my furnace issue and made repairs within an hour. I was charged what I feel is a fair price to do something I couldn't have done myself. The replacement parts come with a warranty. Couldn't be happier. Now the wife won't yell at me because the house is freezing. Good experience all around
