You may not think about your home’s plumbing until something goes wrong, but you rely on it every day.

That’s why it’s essential to call a professional at Waialae Plumbing & Construction to fix those problems with drain cleaning in Honolulu, HI.

3 Signs You Need to Hire Drain Cleaning Services

1. Slow Drainage & Backup

Buildup typically occurs in the main plumbing for your house, such as the pipes that drain your sinks, tubs, or toilets. When the pipes get blocked up, the drainage has no place to go, so you’ll see your sink draining slower than it should or waste water coming back up through the fixture’s plumbing. Keep in mind that because your plumbing is all connected, the backup may show up in a different fixture drain. For example, if you flush the toilet, waste water may show up in the tub or the shower’s drain.

2. Water Pressure Problems

Rather than food or other bio-organic waste, these buildups are typically mineral deposits, which interfere with the water pressure and volume of water from the pipes. Because of this, otherwise unexplained low flow in a faucet is likely caused by mineral buildups. Left unchecked. the fixture will eventually become inoperable.

3. Odors

Some clogs won’t have an odor, but most do. Buildup of smelly materials such as organic waste in the kitchen sink will exude an odor. This smell will come directly out from the drain where the obstruction is located, so if you start to notice an unexplained stench, it’s time to call a plumber.
