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.

Top notch service. On time, very professional. The crew was friendly, competent and respectful. They took extra care to ensure the work areas were clean and as little snow tracked in as possible. Hardwired smart-home smoke detectors were installed to specification and work perfectly.

Roy’s was amazing when our furnace bit the dust. They were able to get out same day and diagnose the problem an had a team out (on a holiday during a snowstorm no less) to come out and install the new unit. All of the employees we have worked with throughout the process have been extremely pleasant and respectful of our home. Hopefully no other huge jobs will be needed for a while but I appreciate their speed and service.
