Avoiding Drain Problems With A Drain Cleaning Service Provider | Irving, TX
Most people don’t think about their home’s drains until there’s a problem. But with periodic drain cleaning service, you may be able to ward off common drain problems like unpleasant odors and clogs. bluefrog Plumbing + Drain of North Dallas features a team of certified plumbers who provide customers with a full lineup of professional plumbing solutions. If you have a drain problem, we can help. As an experienced and licensed plumbing company, we’re committed to providing excellent customer service and fair pricing.
Common Household Drain Problems
Your plumbing system depends on its drains to function. Every time a toilet flushes, a washing machine drains, or a sink is used, your drains are in action. Ideally, water flows through the drains and into the public sewer system without a hitch. Sometimes, however, drains can develop various problems that impact or impede their use.
Odors
Unpleasant odors emanating from a drain are no fun to deal with–especially if you’re expecting company. Masking the odors with soap or even lemon juice does not address the cause of the problem–which is typically food debris or other waste stuck somewhere in the drain system. The water in p-traps generally blocks unpleasant odors from escaping from the drain system back into the home. However, the water might have dried up, allowing the odors from a developing clog to enter your home.
With drain cleaning service from bluefrog Plumbing + Drain of North Dallas, you can eliminate the cause of drain odors. Food waste and biofilm (a combination of bacteria and soap residue, for example) can emit powerful odors. You definitely don’t want household occupants to breathe in these odors if you can avoid it. Our plumbers bring everything needed to scour your drains, pushing all smelly waste out of your drain system and into the public sewer system.
Gurgling Noises
Another sign you may need drain cleaning service is a gurgling sound coming from pipes. The gurgling is a sign that there is a clog developing somewhere in the drain system. The clog may be local–near a specific fixture like a bathroom sink or tub; or it may be coming from your sewer line. Too often, people ignore gurgling noises, but these are actually among the first signs of a pending problem–a problem that could result in a messy wastewater backup.
How long before a clog or backup occurs depends on how extensive the clog is. It’s common for people to hear gurgling one day and experience a messy drain backup the next. With professional drain cleaning service, you can head off those messes and keep your plumbing system working as it’s supposed to.
Slow Drain
A single slow drain or multiple slow drains are also reasons to schedule drain cleaning service for your home. Slow drains are signs that clogs are forming in your drain system. Again, the clogs may be localized–near a kitchen or bathroom sink, for instance, or they can occur in the sewer line. Slow drains are usually a sign of developing clogs, but there may be pipe damage that’s causing the issue.
When you contact bluefrog Plumbing + Drain of North Dallas, we’ll get to the root of the issue. Typically, drain cleaning service solves the problem, but if we uncover a damaged pipe issue, we can make the repair before it gets worse and stops up your plumbing system.
Frequent Clogs
If you experience frequent plumbing clogs, you should definitely opt for our drain cleaning service. Simply opening up a line with an auger doesn’t necessarily mean that all the debris trapped in the pipe is getting pushed out into the sewer system. Debris can cause pipes to narrow, which will result in those frequent and inconvenient drain clogs. With drain cleaning service, you can have all of the debris trapped in your drains clean out. Once your drains are cleaned, you should no longer experience frequent clogs.
Leaks and Water Backups
Leaks and water backups are messy and unpleasant. They can trigger mold outbreaks and even attract pests. If you have a leak under a sink and water is backing up, the clog has become a more serious problem. Our plumbing pros can clear clogs and then clean drains so that any clogs that may be developing are also washed away.
Avoid Commercial Drain Cleaners
Some people turn to commercial drain cleaners to scour their drains, but these are not good for your pipes. In fact, resorting to them frequently can do damage to your pipes that’s far worse than a clog. Professional plumbers rely on methods to clean drains that are safe and effective. Drain cleaners contain highly corrosive chemicals that you simply don’t want sitting in your drains.
Cleaning Drains the Professional Way
When you contact bluefrog Plumbing + Drain of North Dallas to provide drain cleaning service at your home, we’ll clean them thoroughly, using safe and effective methods like hydro jetting. For a localized clog, augering the drain is usually effective, but if you’re experiencing multiple slow drains or frequent clogs in other areas of your drain system, hydro jetting usually solves the problem. If your sewer line requires cleaning, a more robust augering system can eliminate debris there, and ensure your drains are flowing optimally again.

Once cleaned, you shouldn’t experience those odors or frequent clogs.
