Blocked drainage is a common problem for all houses, and at least once or twice a year, every other house comes across this issue. It becomes necessary to call in a plumber if you have an issue with the blocked drainage system. Other than blocked drains, you can call a plumber for various other problems also such as less water flow, leakage issue, any issue in the water heater, and other similar problems. Thus, it is necessary to observe some signs and symptoms before calling in a blocked drain plumber at your doorstep.

Signs and symptoms before calling in a blocked drain plumber:

Here we have enlisted a few major alarming signs that will direct you towards calling in a blocked drain plumber. Go through these signs to get a hold of them. 

Reduced water flow:

This is very common sign to be observed in the kitchen sink or bathroom sink. If you are noticing that water is taking more time to flow through the drains, that clearly shows there is some blockage inside the drain that is creating a hurdle in the flow of water. Over time, various types of food particles along with oil and grease or hair strands in combination with soapy water start to accumulate inside the drains. This causes blockage of pipelines and results in reduced water flow. 

Thus, you need to call a blocked drain plumber who will use appropriate tools and techniques to clear off all the blockages. Not paying attention to this issue at an early stage will aggravate the problem and might cause complete blockage later on.  

The water heater has no water:

When there is no water flow from the hot water pipelines or the water heater has no hot water, then it is an alarm to call in a blocked drain plumber. The pipes through which hot water flows require annual cleaning due to the deposition of various minerals along its way. The water heater may also come across a similar problem. Thus, it is essential to clean off the pipes. The professional plumbers have a clear idea about the causes of blockage, which is difficult for us to detect. Moreover, if pipelines are too old, they might require replacement, which again requires the hand of an expert.

Dripping of the water:          

Continuous dripping of water is another problem that tends to occur after using the tap for a few years. It can also occur in shower faucets. If the issue of dripping persists for a long time, then unknowingly you are wasting huge volumes of water each year. The reason can be a crack in the pipe or any element might be installed improperly or there can be a pressure build-up inside the pipeline that is causing continuous dripping of water. Whatever the reason may be, it’s a sure shot sign to call in a professional plumber for assistance. They will take only an hour to fix the issue which you were not able to resolve for many months.

Leakages in pipelines:

When it comes to leakages, it is hard to know if it is underground or from any external part of the house. You will realize this only when you face reduced water flow or no water in your taps. It is recommended to repair these leakages as soon as possible before it gets worsened.

Repairing the water pipelines at the initial stage by calling in a blocked drain plumber will save your time and money in the long run, otherwise, you would have to spend hefty amounts in getting the entire drainage system replaced.
