When you have clogged or slow draining plumbing issues, Red Cap will quickly respond to your call for help.

Though it can be tempting to try and fix a slow-draining sink, toilet, or tub on your own with a bottle of liquid drain cleaner, sometimes a DIY plumbing repair can cause you even more trouble. You could potentially cause irreparable damage to your pipes and plumbing system, which can cost you more money in the long run.

These are some signs that you need to call Red Cap for professional drain cleaning:

1. Water won't drain from a sink, bathtub or shower.
   
   
2. It takes your bathtub or sinks longer than it should to drain.
   
   
3.  Your home has an unexplained, foul odor.
   
   
4.  Your sinks, tubs or toilets are becoming clogged more frequently. 
   
   
5.  Odd gurgling sounds are coming from your sinks or drains.
   
   
6. Dirty or foul-smelling water is backing up in your drains.
   
   
7. One or more of your toilets is overflowing without any explanation.

Drain cleaning is a great way to care for and maintain your home’s plumbing system. Regular maintenance can also help you to avoid feature buildup, bad smells, and water damage.

Prefer to do things yourself? Do it right the first time. Throw out the liquid drain cleaner, which only causes more problems than it solves, and check out these expert-approved tips from Red Cap. 

• Use the right plunger: For sinks, use a cup plunger. For toilets, use a flange plunger. The flange (extended lip) allows you to create seal over the toilet’s curved opening, gaining the necessary suction to unclog a toilet.
  
• Use the plunger right: First, ensure there's some water in the sink or toilet bowl. Then, plunge vigorously in and out, maintaining the seal around the drain. You'll be forcing water in both directions in the drain, which effectively loosens most clogs.
  
• Use a drain auger: An auger is a 15–50 ft. spring that's fed out of a drum and into the drain. This spring can sometimes clear a drain when a plunger can't.

If your problem persists, it may be time to bring in the professionals. Our team of expert plumbers is ready to help fight clogged drains in the Tampa, FL area.
