5 Signs That Your Drain Is Blocked

There are several warning signs that your drain is blocked. Here are the top 5 that you should look out for:

1) Slow drainage

One of the most common signs of a blocked drain is slow drainage. This can occur in sinks, showers, bathtubs, and toilets. If you notice water draining more slowly than usual or not draining at all, this could indicate a blockage.

2) Unpleasant smells

Unpleasant odours are caused by food debris, grease, or other substances that have become trapped in the pipes and are beginning to decay.

3) Gurgling sounds

Unusual sounds coming from your drains, such as gurgling or bubbling, can be a sign of a blockage. These sounds occur when the air trapped in the pipes is pushed through the system.

4) Raised water levels

If the water level in your toilet rises higher than normal after flushing, this can indicate a blockage in the drain. In extreme cases, the toilet may overflow.

5) Standing water or flooding

For external drains, a clear sign of a blockage can be standing water around the drain cover, or water backing up and pooling in unusual places like your garden.

It’s important to detect and resolve a blocked drain early to prevent more severe plumbing issues. If you notice any of these signs, it’s recommended to contact a professional drainage service like Coastal Drains to ensure the problem is properly addressed.
