5 Signs of a Drain Blockage
If water is draining slowly in your shower, tub, or sink, it’s likely due to a clogged drain caused by the buildup of hair and soap residue.
Regular drain cleaning can help prevent these issues from developing. However, we advise against using chemical drain cleaners as they can damage your plumbing and are not environmentally friendly.
1. Slow Drainage
Clogged drains are a common issue in many homes, often caused by a buildup of hair, soap residue, and debris over time. This can lead to slow water flow and complete blockages.
But how can you tell if you have a clogged drain?
Here are five key signs to watch for that indicate your drains might be blocked.
2. Gurgling Noises
Hearing gurgling sounds from your drains can indicate air trapped in the pipes, often due to a clog down the line. If you notice this, it’s time to contact Yankee Home Plumbing.
Addressing this issue promptly can prevent potential damage to your main sewer line.
3. Unpleasant Odors
Foul odors emanating from your drains are another clear sign of a blockage. Food particles and other debris can accumulate, leading to unpleasant smells from clogged plumbing.
This situation requires a professional intervention from a certified plumber.
4. Toilet Not Flushing
A toilet that won’t flush is often the first sign of a clogged drain. This can happen due to too much toilet paper or a foreign object like a toy being flushed.
If your toilet appears backed up, it’s time to call a professional plumber.
5. Unusual Water In The Yard
Unexpected puddles or soggy spots in your yard can indicate a sewer line clog, often caused by tree roots.
This issue requires immediate attention from a qualified technician to avoid further damage.

FAQs About Drain Cleaning & Clogs
What causes drains to clog?
Drains can become clogged due to the accumulation of substances like hair, soap, grease, and food particles. In some cases, foreign objects like toys or wipes can cause blockages, especially in homes with children.
Can I clean a clogged drain myself?
Minor clogs can often be addressed with DIY methods such as using a plunger or a drain snake. However, for stubborn clogs or recurring issues, it’s best to call a professional to avoid damaging your pipes.
What are the different methods used for drain cleaning?
Common professional methods include snaking (using a flexible cable to break up clogs), hydro jetting (using high-pressure water to clean pipes), and sometimes, environmentally friendly chemical solutions.
What should I avoid putting down my drains?
To prevent clogs, avoid pouring grease, oil, or fat down kitchen sinks, and don’t flush wipes, paper towels, or any items labeled “flushable” down the toilet. Stick to flushing only toilet paper and human waste.
Why does my drain emit foul odors?
Foul odors from drains are usually caused by trapped food particles, grease, or other organic matter decomposing in the pipes. Regular cleaning and maintenance can prevent these odors.
Is it safe to use chemical cleaners?
While chemical drain cleaners can offer a quick fix, they can also be harsh on your pipes, potentially causing corrosion and long-term damage. It’s better to use mechanical methods or call a professional.
What are the signs that I need professional drain cleaning?
Signs include slow-draining water, gurgling noises, recurring clogs, multiple drains backing up simultaneously, or unpleasant odors. These may indicate a significant blockage that requires professional attention.
How can I prevent future drain clogs?
Preventive measures include using drain strainers, avoiding the disposal of grease and food particles in the sink, and regularly flushing your drains with hot water to prevent buildup.
What should I do if I suspect a clog between my house and the septic system?
Clogs between your house and the septic system can be serious, often caused by tree roots or other debris. In such cases, it’s essential to call a professional plumber to inspect and clear the blockage safely.
Do plumbers unclog main sewer lines?
Yes! Our licensed plumbers specialize in unclogging main sewer lines, whether the issue is caused by tree roots, buildup, or a collapsed pipe. We use advanced tools like augers to clear the blockage safely and thoroughly.
Who do I call for a clogged main line?
Call a licensed plumber with sewer line expertise—like Yankee Home Plumbing. We handle main line backups, root intrusions, and sewer clogs with the right equipment to get your home flowing again fast.
What's the difference between snaking and hydro jetting?
Snaking uses a metal cable to punch through or pull out a clog, while hydro jetting uses high-pressure water to fully clean the inside of your pipes.
Is a clogged drain considered a plumbing emergency?
Yes—especially if multiple fixtures are backed up or sewage is coming back into your home. While we don’t offer 24/7 emergency service, we do prioritize urgent calls during regular hours and provide same- or next-day drain clearing.
Why is water backing up in my sink or tub?
Backed-up water usually means there’s a clog deeper in your drain or main line. Common causes include grease, hair, or roots. It’s best to have a plumber inspect the line to prevent damage or sewage backups.
How do I know if the clog is in the main sewer line?
If all drains in your home are slow or backing up at once, or if flushing a toilet causes water to back up in a tub or shower, you likely have a main line blockage. We can perform a camera inspection to locate the problem.
Why does my drain keep clogging even after snaking it?
Persistent clogs often mean there’s buildup, pipe damage, or tree roots further down the line that snaking alone can’t remove. You may need hydro jetting or a sewer inspection to fully solve the issue.
Do I need a camera inspection for my clogged drain?
If clogs keep coming back or you suspect damage, a camera inspection helps us see exactly what’s going on inside your pipes—saving time and preventing repeat problems.
Can tree roots cause a clogged sewer line?
Yes, tree roots naturally seek moisture and can grow into sewer pipes through tiny cracks or joints. Over time, they can block flow or even break the pipe, leading to serious backups.
How long does drain cleaning take?
Most drain cleanings take 30 to 90 minutes, depending on the severity and access to the clog. If deeper diagnostics are needed, it may take longer—but we’ll walk you through every step.
What happens if I ignore a slow drain?
A slow drain is usually a warning sign of a partial clog. Ignoring it can lead to full backups, pipe damage, or even flooding, especially if the issue is in the main sewer line.
What's the best drain cleaning service near me?
