5 Signs You Need Drain Cleaning (And Why Cleveland-Area Homeowners Call ExpertPipe Rooter)
Is your sink draining slow? Do you hear gurgling sounds from your toilet or smell something funky in your basement? You’re not alone — in cities like Cleveland, Parma, Lakewood, Shaker Heights, Strongsville, and North Olmsted, clogged drains are one of the most common plumbing issues homeowners face.
At ExpertPipe Rooter, we specialize in fast, affordable, and long-lasting solutions for stubborn plumbing problems across Northeast Ohio. From drain snaking and hydro jetting to camera inspections, we’ve got the tools (and the local experience) to get your system flowing again.
🚨 Here are 5 signs you need professional drain cleaning:
1. Water is Draining Slowly
Whether it’s your kitchen sink, shower, or floor drain, water that pools or drains slowly is often your first sign of a clog. Hair, grease, and soap scum are usually to blame.
2. Unpleasant Odors from Your Drains
If your home smells like a sewer or stagnant water, especially in the bathroom or basement, the source is likely a blocked or backed-up drain line.
3. Gurgling or Bubbling Sounds
When water tries to push past a clog, it creates air pockets — resulting in gurgling toilets or drains. This could indicate a partial blockage in your main sewer line.
4. Multiple Drains Backing Up at Once
If your tub, sink, and toilet are all slow or clogged at the same time, it's time to look beyond plungers. This is often a mainline issue that requires hydro jetting or professional drain snaking.
5. Basement Floor Drain Backup
In areas like Cleveland Heights, University Heights, and Garfield Heights, many older homes experience basement flooding when the main drain clogs. A simple camera inspection can spot the problem fast.
