For many households blocked drains in Christchurch are a major problem. If you are a homeowner and are having problems with your drains, then you have probably already called a reputable plumber to come in and take care of the problem. However, if you are new to the game of owning your own home, then you might not always recognize the warning signs that you have drainage problems. With that being said, read on below for some of the top signs that you have a blocked drain to deal with and need a plumber.
Odours that Are Distinctly Unpleasant
When food and other debris get stuck in drains they cause bacteria that soon lets off very unpleasant and stinky odours. If you smell something rotten anytime you are over your kitchen sink and can’t seem to track the smell down, then it is possible that you have a blocked drain that you plumber needs to trace the problem for. Calling in a plumber to inspect the drain can stop you from having to spend a ton of money in the long run. Click here to know more.
The Drain is Gurgling
If you are washing clothes and when the washer spins out, water is gurgling in the toilets, bathtubs, and sinks, then you probably have a blockage somewhere. It’s best not to try to trace down the blockage yourself, as you can do more damage than good. Instead, call in your plumber, explain what is happening and let him trace the blockage for you.
Drainage is Slow
If when you wash dishes, it takes a long time for the sink to drain, you may have a blockage. This can come from food going down the drain or from hair being wrapped around the pipes in the bathroom sink. It’s best not to try over the counter chemicals on the sinks because they can do more harm than good.
