What You Should Know About Outdated House Traps

Upgrading to modern PVC P-traps addresses these issues, creating an efficient water seal.

Slow Draining Fixtures:
A clear indication that your house trap might be clogged is when you experience drainage in sinks, bathtubs or showers. If you observe that water is taking time, than usual to drain from these fixtures it could indicate an obstruction, in the house trap causing wastewater to flow smoothly.
Unpleasant Odors:
Unpleasant odors coming from your drains or plumbing fixtures can indicate a clog, in the house trap. When the trap gets blocked it can break the water seal that normally keeps sewer gases out of your home resulting in smells spreading throughout your living area. If you detect sewer odors it's important to look into the problem and address it promptly.
Gurgling Noises:
Hearing gurgling or bubbling sounds from your drains when using other plumbing fixtures can indicate a clogged house trap. The trapped air caused by the blockage can create these unusual noises as water tries to pass through the obstruction.
Water Backups:
When the house trap gets severely clogged it can cause water to back up in your sinks, bathtubs or toilets. If you notice water backing up or overflowing when you use these fixtures it's important to take care of the issue. This will help prevent any harm to your home and belongings.
Sewage Odors Outdoors:
Sometimes when the house trap gets clogged you might start smelling sewage outdoors, like, in your yard or near sewer cleanouts. This could mean that there's a blockage, in the sewer line and it requires immediate professional help.
