When you find hair in your drain, it’s easy to scoop it out on your own and move on. However, when the issues run deeper, you should have a professional conduct the drain cleaning. This guide details how to tell when you should call a plumber to resolve your issue.

When You Need Professional Assistance for a Drain Cleaning

1. Multiple Clogs

When there is a clog in seemingly just one drain, it is usually possible for you to take on the job yourself with a plumber’s snake. But if you notice slow or blocked drains around the house, you have a broader problem. Likely, the main line or sewer line of the home has a clog, and you’ll need a professional plumber to conduct an extensive drain cleaning.

2. Foul Odors

If your drains start to stink, you typically have a large amount of grimy detritus lingering in the pipes. Try pouring a home remedy of hot water and dish soap down the offending drains. If this does not solve the issue, a plumber has the equipment to access anywhere in your pipe network and conduct a rigorous drain cleaning.

3. Bubbling Noises

Another sign you need a drain cleaning is if you hear a gurgling noise when you flush a toilet or use the tap. It’s another clue that there is a blockage deep in the plumbing system. What you’re hearing is waste liquids trying to travel past the clog and reaching air pockets. The sooner you contact your plumber, the quicker your system will return to normal.
