5 Warning Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning
Not Every Clog Is a DIY Fix
We get it, grabbing a bottle of drain cleaner or plunging a slow sink feels like the easiest way to deal with a clog. But when your drains keep acting up, it might be time to call in the pros.
At Superior Sewer Solutions, we help homeowners in Jefferson City, Columbia, and Mid-Missouri tackle the tough plumbing problems that go deeper than surface-level buildup.
Here’s how to tell when it’s time to stop guessing and start solving with expert drain cleaning.
5 Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning
1. Slow Drains That Keep Coming Back
If water is draining slowly, even after using a plunger or “As Seen on TV” solutions, you might have a clog further down the line. Multiple slow drains are an even bigger red flag.
2. Gurgling Sounds or Foul Odors
Hear bubbling in your toilet or sink after running water elsewhere? That’s a sign of trapped air due to partial blockages. Smelling something funky? Waste buildup could be stuck in your sewer line.
3. Recurring Clogs in the Same Drain
Unclogged your shower last week and it’s already slow again? That’s not normal. Persistent issues like these often signal a blockage deeper in the system that home remedies can’t reach.
4. Water Backing Up Into Other Fixtures
When your bathtub fills up after flushing the toilet, or your kitchen sink backs up during laundry, your main line could be partially blocked, and that’s a problem that won’t fix itself.
5. You’ve Tried Everything, and Nothing Works
If you’ve used the plunger, baking soda, vinegar, and a prayer, and the drain still won’t clear, it’s time for real tools and real solutions. We bring camera inspections and hydro jetting to every job, so nothing’s left to chance.
