Problem drains happen for all kinds of reasons, but there’s always something you can do. Usually, it’s even less involved than you might assume.

Drainage issues not only wreak havoc in your home, they can also cause dangerous health issues when things fail to function properly. These issues start small but have potential to escalate and turn into serious problems. Genesis Plumbing wants you to be aware of the warning signs so you can predict and completely avoid any potentially larger and more costly drain issues.
What You Should Know About Properly Maintaining Your Drains
What Are The Signs of Needing Drain Cleaning or Repair
1. Slow drain: If your drain begins draining slowly this may lead to problems. This typically indicates a possible obstruction, clogged drains or a septic tank
not filtering wastewater fast enough.
2. Bad odors: No one wants a smelly drain. If the drains in your home emit unpleasant odors, your drain may need a repair. This usually means that the waste is not being properly removed and disposed of correctly.
3. Wastewater leaking:
If you find wet spots in your home or large pools in your yard, there might be a drainage issue.
4. Water stains in the basement: This indicates that sewage is starting to backup due to poor drainage. If you begin to see these you may want to take action.
5. Increase in your water bill: If your water bill begins to increase consistently this could indicate a constant leak. There are one of two things to consider when the water bill spikes; you need a waterline repair or there is a hidden leak in your home.
Prevent Future Clogs
When hair, grease or soap scum builds up on the inside of pipe walls, it can be really tough to remove. If it’s hardened or amassed enough, no amount of plunging could dislodge it. Genesis Plumbing
has tools that enter drains directly, in order to safely and effectively remove gunk buildup on pipe walls.
By finding and removing the built-up gunk in your pipes, pro drain cleaning prevents future clogs before they happen.

Here are a few plumbing tips to help you save money!
Cold temperatures can wreak havoc on both outdoor and indoor plumbing. That’s why it’s imperative to take some precautionary steps before Winter in order to prevent a frozen pipe catastrophe. Outdoor water valves You’ll want to make sure all outdoor water valves are turned off and all hoses are empty and detached. Hoses should be stored for Winter and insulated covers added to spigots. These can be found at your local hardware store or provided by your trusted plumber. Open cabinet doors For pipes that run along the exterior of your home, it’s a good idea to open cabinets under faucets during freezing spells to help keep the pipes at room temperature. Close crawl space vents and garage door Open spaces such as the crawl space can allow cold air to get in and affect nearby pipes. Be sure to block off any spaces that are open to outside air and keep your garage door closed as much as possible when the temperature is below freezing. Thermostat You’ll want to keep your thermostat at a regular temperature to prevent fluctuations that could affect your plumbing. If you leave town for a winter vacation, keep your thermostat set to at least 55 degrees to prevent freezing. Insulate pipes Pipe insulation is another good way to ensure your pipes remain in good working condition all year long. This can be done on your own using pipe sleeves or fiberglass insulation strips from your local hardware store or you can call us in for professional help. If you’re going to DIY this project, be sure you use protective wear when handling fiberglass insulation and accurately measure and cut the protective materials to fit the pipes securely. If the task of winterizing your pipes seems a bit daunting or you just don’t have the time, give our experienced team at Genesis Plumbing a call and we’ll handle it for you.
