Have you noticed that your bathtub drains slowly when you take a shower? Or when you brush your teeth, does the water linger in the sink for what feels like forever? It’s easy to blame these plumbing issues on something close to the surface, such as hair washed down the tub drain during showers or a piece of an old soap bar stuck in the U-bend. However, the issue might actually go much deeper if you are not keeping your pipes clean and in good working order. Unfortunately, it could lead to serious plumbing problems. Keep reading to learn the top signs that your home may have a sewer line clog.
Malfunctioning Drains
If only one drain in your house is slow, the problem is likely close to that sink. If several sinks and bathtubs are slow to drain, the issue may be further down in the system. Consider hiring a professional plumber, such as B&D Plumbing in Beltsville, to find the source of the clog. Contact us today at 301-595-1141.
Persistent Insects
Bugs can live inside your plumbing drains. They feed on organic matter that washes down, like food scraps and hair. Most even breed and lay eggs in the gunk that builds up in clogged and slow-moving drains. If you find an insect infestation, a sewer line clog may be the reason.
Bad Smells
If your home stinks from strange smells, they could come from your pipes. One cause is sewage backing up into your plumbing system. This can be serious, so it is best to have a professional help. Stagnant water behind a clog also causes bad odors, especially if you send food debris down the sink. Whatever the reason, a foul odor from your pipes is a sure sign you should call B&D Plumbing.
