5 Signs Your Drain Needs Professional Cleaning

Living in Cleveland means dealing with a lot — Browns heartbreak, snowstorms, and yes, clogged drains.

If you’re noticing any of these issues, it might be time to call the local pros at ExpertPipe Rooter:

1. Slow Drains

Water should disappear quickly. If your sinks, tubs, or showers drain slowly, you might have buildup from soap, grease, or Cleveland’s notoriously hard water.

2. Gurgling Sounds

Hearing strange noises from your pipes? Gurgling means trapped air — a classic early warning of a major clog forming deep in the line.

3. Bad Odors

Foul smells coming up from your drains? That’s often stagnant water, food waste, or other debris stuck in your pipes — a common issue in Cleveland’s older homes.

4. Water Backups

After a heavy Cleveland rainstorm, you might see water bubbling up in your basement drain or laundry sink. This means the main sewer line could be partially blocked.

5. Multiple Clogged Fixtures

If more than one drain is slow or clogged at the same time, it’s probably not a small issue — it’s a sign your main sewer line might need immediate professional cleaning.

Don't wait until a small clog becomes a plumbing emergency!
