Many homeowners are oblivious to the needs of their home’s plumbing system until something noticeably affects the use of their hot water, drains, or plumbing fixtures. However, as a responsible homeowner, you should schedule routine annual home inspections for your plumbing system to ensure top-notch function and condition throughout the year. Clogged pipes can happen at any time, but severe clogs can take months, or even years, to deteriorate your plumbing system to the point of detrimental damage.

Are you unconvinced by weird smells or strange sounds from your drains and plumbing fixtures? Other signs of clogged pipes include:

• Noticeable backups of water that can’t be cleared with drain cleaners or home cleaning methods.
• Water damage around the floor, walls, and ceilings.
• Unexplainable increases in water bills.
