The Problem With Slow Drains: A Breakdown

Monday, February 17th, 2025
Running water splashing into a stainless steel sink with visible drain.

Slow drains are not as bad as clogged drains. That should be obvious. When you’re trying to wash dishes or brush your teeth, it’s way easier to use a drain that still gets rid of wastewater, even if it’s slow. Compare that to completely clogged up drains, that’s a problem that requires more immediate attention.

But don’t get things twisted–slow drains are still a problem that need to be fixed. That drain might not have reached a full-blown clog yet, but it’s definitely on its way there. We’ll discuss some great DIY ways to deal with a clogged drain, but nothing comes close to the effectiveness and speed of professional drain cleaning in Cedar Falls.

So, if you’re looking to get this taken care of quickly, you can start by scheduling an appointment with us. Call now to book your first drain inspection! Otherwise, keep reading.
