Drain Clearing Services  

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 a Holt Plumbing & Heating professional if your water is draining slowly, water is backing up into your sink and/or tub after flushing the toilet, you hear excessive gurgling in your pipes, and/or you notice a foul odor in or 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 Holt Plumbing & Heating 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 an expert plumber from Holt Plumbing & Heating clear your drains professionally. Commercial drain cleaners that you can buy at the store can irritate skin and eyes and also potentially damage your drains and pipes. Additionally, most DIY drain cleaners can only be used in sinks or tubs and not in toilets. If you decide to attempt to get rid of any clogs yourself, it will most likely be a temporary solution. Having a licensed plumber from Holt Plumbing & Heating professionally clear any clogs you have will ensure the job is done right and will prevent future clogs and additional problems that could arise from trying to get the job done yourself.

Some simple ways to prevent drain clogs in the first place are purchasing and using drain covers and strainers 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 Holt Plumbing & Heating.
