"A <a href=\"https://proximityplumbing.com.au/blocked-drains/sydney/\">blocked drain</a> cause both stress and can create unwanted costs. There are however several early signs of a blocked drain, which if identified soon enough can prevent further damage to any pipes, drains and general areas.\r\n\r\nSigns associated with a blocked drain can include:\r\n\r\n<strong>Unpleasant odors coming from drain</strong>\r\n\r\nBlocked drains tend to emit foul/ unpleasant odors. Drains can become blocked due to food debris stuck in the pipes. As the food slowly decomposes it creates a noticeably bad smell, which appears worse if the tap has been turned on,\r\n\r\n<strong>Slow drainage</strong>\r\n\r\nIf there is a blockage present in the pipe, any water will drain slowly. The water has to filter through or around the blockage creating a sluggish flow.\r\n\r\n<strong>Raised water levels</strong>\r\n\r\nThe easiest way to detect a toilet blockage is if when flushed your toilet water level rises higher than normal. However if water rises to the point of overflowing, there could be a much more serious issue within your drains.\r\n\r\n<strong>Gurgling sounds</strong>\r\n\r\nIf any strange gurgling sounds are heard from drains and plug holes, this could be a sign of a blockage. The gurgling sound indicates that there is trapped air in the drain, and is escaping when you run water."
