Clogged Drains and Toilets in Utah County, UT

Signs of a Clogged Drain

Several signs indicate you’re dealing with a clogged drain in your home. Homeowners need to be aware of these symptoms to ensure their plumbing system is kept in pristine condition. The team of licensed plumbers at Parley’s PPM Plumbing recommends contacting us when you first suspect you have a clogged drain, or multiple drains, in your home. Sometimes, a clogged drain indicates a larger, more complex problem within your plumbing system. The most common signs of a residential clogged drain include:

• Water backing up in the sink
• Water pooling around the shower drain
• Water draining slowly
• Water in the toilet bubbles when you turn on the sink
• Drains make gurgling sounds after running appliances
• Water pooling on the floor close to the sink or bathtub
• Rotting food smells coming from the kitchen sink

If you’re experiencing sewage odors coming from one or more of the drains in your home, it’s important to call a licensed, experienced plumber as soon as possible to avoid further damage to your plumbing system.

Types of Drains We Clear

The plumbing experts at Parley’s PPM Plumbing are highly experienced in clearing every type of residential drain, including:

Clogged Main Drains – If they aren’t taken care of immediately, clogs in the main drain can cause major problems with your home’s plumbing system. If you have water backing up out of the drain or can hear a gurgling sound, you could be dealing with a clogged main drain. The team of experts at Parley’s PPM Plumbing can come out and clear your clogged drains promptly so you won’t have to deal with leaks onto your carpet or tiles.

Toilets & Sinks – If you have water backing up out of your toilets or sinks, you could be dealing with a clog. These clogs can often be cleared by running hot water, soap, baking soda, and vinegar through the pipes. However, when the problem is more serious, professionals need to resolve the issue you have raw sewage all over your floors. No matter what time of day or night, Parley’s PPM Plumbing experts will come to fix your clogged sink or toilet. Emergency services are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

Root Removal Service

Your landscape may look beautiful from the ground up, but there may be hidden damage underneath the ground. Large trees can have long roots that reach deep underground, damaging the pipes in your home’s plumbing system. If you suspect any problems, the professionals at Parley’s PPM Plumbing of Utah County can come out and perform effective root removal services for you. Catching the problem early on before damage is done is most effective, so don’t delay in giving us a call to have your property inspected.

High-Pressure Jetting Service

Over time, mineral deposits naturally occurring in your pipes can cause obstructions, decreasing the water flow. We use high-pressure water jetting to clear your drains of mineral deposits and buildup. This simple process involves using a high-pressure pump to blast the pipes and loosen the deposits. The loosened deposits are then vacuumed with a hose. If you feel like the water flow of your pipes is slowing down, it may be time for the professionals at Parley’s PPM Plumbing to come and perform high-pressure water jetting at your property.

What Should I Do If I Discover a Clogged Drain in My Home?

Understandably, homeowners typically want to attempt to clear their clogged drains without having to call a plumber. If you wish to try to clear your residential drain yourself before calling Parley’s PPM Plumbing, you can follow these tips:

1. Fill your sink about halfway with water.
   – If you have a clogged drain in a double kitchen sink, plug one of the drains with a wet towel.
   – Cover the overflow hole if you have a clog in your bathroom sink.
2. Use a cup plunger to plunge the open drain.
3. Work the plunger up and down, and then pull it off. Repeat this process a few times.

What to Not Do When You Have a Clogged Drain

Some DIY methods to try to clear clogged drains can make the problems within your home’s plumbing system worse. You should contact a licensed plumber to resolve the issue if you suspect you have a clogged drain. It’s important to avoid the following:

• Using chemical cleaners to try to clear the clog
• Using homemade tools to clear the clog
• Using professional tools if you lack proper experience and training

Drain Cleaning Vs. Drain Unclogging

There are a few differences between professional drain cleaning services and having your drain unclogged:

Drain Unclogging – The licensed plumbers at Parley’s PPM Plumbing use our drain unclogging service for residential drains that have an immediate backup, typically caused by an obstruction, foreign object, collection of hair, or other debris. Our plumbing experts will inspect your drain and remove whatever’s blocking it so your drain flows properly again.

Drain Cleaning – Our drain cleaning service is used on drains that frequently back up or drain slowly. Frequent backups and slow-flowing drains are typically caused by layers of grease, roots, debris, dirt, soap scum, and more. We use high-quality products and innovative technology, including high-pressure water jetting, to clear away the debris from slow-flowing drains.
