Damaged drains can be a big problem for your house, and the problems will only grow with time. That makes it all the more important to identify when your drains are damaged early on. This way, you can minimize the damage that your house sustains. Here are some of the signs that your home may have drain damage.
Toilets/Sinks/Showers Drain More Slowly
Whenever these appliances in your home aren’t draining as quickly, it indicates that there could be damage to your drains. It could also be a sign of a clog. You’ll detect this kind of problem by listening for bubbling and gurgling sounds while water is going down the drains. When you hear these types of noises, it means that you have some trapped water or air in your pipes.
There are Unpleasant Odors Coming From Your Pipes
Have you noticed a smell of sewage coming from your pipes? Maybe the smell resembles that of rotten eggs? If you have this kind of smell coming from your pipes, it could mean you have broken lines, or that there’s a blockage in your pipes. There could even be mold or mildew growth as a result of leaks occurring, which can be a big health hazard to people.
You See Stains on Your Roof, Floors, and Walls
Drain damage can extend to many areas of your home. You might start seeing water stains on your ceiling, flooring, and walls, which indicate that you have leaking pipes somewhere. Not only does this mean your house is experiencing water damage, but it can also impact you financially. When you have drain damage around your home, you might notice that your water bill starts to go up. To minimize the damage to your house, as well as reduce your water bill, it’s best to let a professional plumber look into the situation.
