How can clogged drains affect your mood at home?
Smelly drains are among the first signs that drains are becoming clogged or otherwise not operating properly: Musty smells drifting up from floor drains, sour odors from improperly flowing kitchen sinks, moldy aromas drifting from shower and sink drains. Drain odors dampen the ambiance of any home. Properly working drains should not emit any sort of obvious or long-term odor at all.
Many people are allergic to mold which can begin to grow in environments where drains are not flowing property. That can affect health and mood. Not to mention, when your house is emitting odors it’s not an optimal home environment. We know that certain nice smells like lemon scents lift the mood of a home. Conversely, dank odors drag it down. We often turn to drain and home fresheners to drive off smells but those only mask odors; they don’t deal with the source of the problem.
Plus, the longer we avoid dealing with clogged drains, the worse the odors become worse. Besides, it’s a messy proposition to deal with clogged drains, especially when you have better things to do. Not to mention, we don’t know what sort of gross debris is waiting down a drain just waiting to greet us. Drain cleaners are only a temporary fix, and soon the smells return.
Worse, when drains stop doing their job and start to emit noxious odors, the next stage that can be expected are drain backups. If odors ruin your day, wait until a smell becomes a physical intruder invading the home, bringing the source of the odor with it. That can range from old bits of greasy food backing into your kitchen from a dishwasher that cannot drain properly, or standing in ankle deep water when you try to take a shower. Worse, if left long enough clogged or improperly running drains can allow sewage to backwash into your home.
Regular drain cleaning can help. Keeping drains free flowing not only eliminates smelly odors but also will prevent messy, and unsafe, drain backups from erupting into your bathroom, kitchen, shower, or laundry room. It’s much less expensive to have drains cleaned on a regular basis than to try to continuously fight odors, or clean up and repair damage when clogged drains rebel. At the very least call, we recommend you give a call to have your drains cleaned at the very first hint of smells so a dreary odor doesn’t turn into a depressing disaster.
