Most minor drain clogs can be cleared up easily with the use of a plunger and some elbow grease. However, there are some plumbing projects that should be left to the professionals, otherwise you may risk damaging your pipes further, facing even larger repair bills down the road. Roto-Rooter® Sewer & Drain Cleaning, serving the big Island of Hawaii, recommends calling in an expert if you notice any of the following signs:

• Recurring clogs. Problems that come back regularly almost always indicate serious problems deeper in your pipes you can't treat with home remedies. A professional will be able to send a camera down your pipes and find it before serious damage occurs.
• Slow drains. This apparently minor inconvenience can mean there's a more serious clog developing deep within your drains. A plumber will detect and take care of it before the drain starts clogging.
• Several clogs at once. When your sinks, bathtub, or shower are all clogging simultaneously, you probably have a problem in your main drainage system, which you won't be able to clear on your own.
• Foul odors. Noxious smells coming from your drains mean you have a serious problem on your hands. Call a plumber immediately to find out whether you need to repair a broken sewer pipe or if you just need a thorough professional drain cleaning.
