We want you to take this quiz to determine if you need\u00a0drain cleaning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1 Point<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Slow Moving Drains<\/strong>: Have you noticed that your drains seem to be a little sluggish? This isn\u2019t something that you should have to worry about. If the speed has declined, then it means it\u2019s time to check in what\u2019s going on down in your drains. You might have a clog forming.&nbsp;<\/li><li><strong>Fruit Flies<\/strong>: Fruit flies aren\u2019t just pesky, uninvited guests in your home. A lot of times, they can linger around your drain because you\u2019re nursing a clog and they\u2019re attracted to the food scraps sitting in your drain.&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2 Points&nbsp;<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Water Back Ups<\/strong>: Have you noticed that there\u2019s water backing up in your home\u2019s sink? This is never a good sign and it\u2019s likely that you\u2019re dealing with some sort of drain issue.<\/li><li><strong>Bad Smells<\/strong>: We\u2019re not saying that your home\u2019s plumbing system is ever going to smell like roses, but it shouldn\u2019t smell terrible. If you notice foul scents, then it means it\u2019s time to invest in drain cleaning<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3 Points<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Odd Sounds<\/strong>: It\u2019s always important to listen to the sounds your plumbing system makes. This system is far from silent. You might hear pipes moving around or adjusting from time to time. What you should never hear are new, loud, or alarming sounds. Anything like this is the sound of your home\u2019s plumbing system struggling rather than just settling.<\/li><li><strong>Clogs<\/strong>: Maybe you had a slow-moving drain that quickly developed into a clog. This is an issue that should be addressed. We\u2019re always available to help.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Test Results<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you scored between <strong>1\u20133 points<\/strong>, you should call a technician and talk about your plumbing concerns. You might not have a full-blown drain cleaning need on your hands, but you more than likely have some budding issues.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>3\u20134 points<\/strong> mean you should call and consider scheduling an appointment. It\u2019s likely that you need drain cleaning and a professional can determine it for sure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>4\u20136 points<\/strong> mean you should schedule a drain cleaning appointment. Full stop. You\u2019ve got a problem. One of our adept professionals can discuss the origin of these issues with you during the appointment.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"text-align:center\"><strong>Contact <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kennihans.com\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Kennihan Plumbing &amp; Heating, Inc.<\/a> today to schedule an appointment with our professionals.
