Drain Clearing Services Near San Diego, CA

Signs of a clogged drain include water draining slowly in your sink and/or tub, water backs up into your sink and/or tub upon flushing the toilet, excessive gurgling in your pipes, and/or foul odors in or around your drains.

You should call (760) 282-2284 if your water is draining slowly, backing up into your sink or tub after flushing the toilet, you hear excessive gurgling in your pipes, or you notice a foul odor around your drains. If you choose to ignore the clog, sewage could potentially spill out and into your home, leading to expensive cleanup and repairs.

In most cases, homeowners only need to have their drains professionally cleared as needed. If you suspect you have a clog, call (760) 282-2284 to have your drains cleared out thoroughly. However, if your home has a history of clogs, or if your home is older, you may want to have your drains cleared on a regular basis.

You can attempt to get rid of clogs on your own, but it is a better idea to have a certified plumber clear your drains instead. Commercial drain cleaners from the store can irritate skin and eyes and even  damage your pipes. Additionally, most DIY drain cleaners can only be used in sinks or tubs and not in toilets. If you decide to get rid of any clogs yourself, it will most likely be a temporary solution. Having a licensed plumber from Sherlock professionally clear any clogs will ensure the job is done right and prevent future clogs from returning.

Some simple ways to prevent drain clogs in the first place are: purchasing and using drain covers that can catch hair, avoid pouring fats, oils, and grease down your garbage disposal, and always have routine drain cleaning done by a professional at Sherlock.
