When one of your drains needs replacement, you’ll know right away. There are a few tell tale signs that are pretty hard to miss. The first sign: water backing up. Over the life of its use, a drain can sometimes accumulate so much grease and junk to the point where it’s completely clogged. When this happens, water is blocked from going down the drain out the basin. 

Another way you’ll know if you need to replace your drain is if you get a leak. Over time, a drain’s seal can be compromised from wear and tear. This leads to water leakage. Sometimes this leak can be small, sometimes big. No matter the size, it’s absolutely essential that you catch the leak early. Over time, if the leak persists it can lead to the growth of mold, which can pose a hazard to you and your family’s health.
