Here are some signs it’s time to hire professional drain cleaners in Aurora.
Slow drains or standing water. Slow drains and standing water in sinks, washing machines, or bathtubs are often caused by clogs in the pipes. Professional drain cleaning is the most effective solution for a slow drain. At Elite Rooter, we use manual tools or hydrojetting to clear out soap scum, grease, food, mineral buildups, tree roots, and other clogs, allowing the water to flow freely.
Bad smells. Sewage smells and musty drains are both signs of a problem. These smells occur when clogs create a damp environment that allows bacteria, mold, and mildew to grow, or when there are issues with the sewer line. Contact a plumber right away to assess the situation and prevent serious property damage.
Gurgling noises. Clogs forming in the pipes create air bubbles behind them as water runs down the pipes, or after you turn the tap off. When the air bubbles escape, they’ll make a gurgling sound. Once we thoroughly clean the pipes, the gurgling should stop.
Frequent toilet clogging . The occasional toilet clog is normal, especially if you flush something that shouldn’t go down. However, if your toilet clogs frequently without any discernible reason, there’s probably something blocking the drain line, such as tree roots or a failing pipe. We’ll use our camera to inspect the plumbing and determine the cause of the clogs.
Multiple clogged drains . If more than one drain is clogged at the same time, it’s probably because there’s a serious blockage further down in the plumbing, like in the main sewer line. It’s important to address this issue promptly to prevent backups and further damage.
Sewage backup or overflowing toilets. Sewage backup is a nasty problem that causes contaminated, dirty water to flow back into your house. Not only does it smell, but it’s also a health hazard and can seriously damage your home. Backups happen when a clog in the drain line leaves nowhere for the water to go but back up the pipe and into the bathtubs, sinks, toilets, and other openings.
