One of the problems that you could face quite often is a clogged drain line.
When you have a clog, the water will not be able to drain from the sink or the shower stall, and eventually, it will start to back up into the basin. It can also cause a rather unpleasant aroma.
Another one of the problems with your drains might simply be age, and they might need to be replaced. Structural damage caused by tree roots, and even accidents can cause issues as well. In those cases, a repair could be possible, but more than likely, part of the drain system will need to be replaced.
In some cases, you can take care of minor problems on your own. For example, if you have a slow draining sink, then using some high quality drain cleaner might be all you need to take care of the problem.
However, for anything other than a very minor clog in your drain, you will want to get in touch with the professionals instead. The professionals at Hilton Plumbing have the knowledge, experience, and technology that can make short work of any drain issue that you might be having.
