Signs You Need a New Drain
Recognizing the signs of needed drain replacement can help you address the issue promptly and prevent unnecessary disruptions to your daily routine. The following are just some of the strongest indications that you need a new drain:
- Frequent clogs: If your drains are constantly clogging despite regular cleanings, there could be a serious underlying issue at play that can only be resolved through drain replacement.
- Slow drainage: When multiple drains in your home are slow, it could indicate a significant problem that requires replacing the entire drain system due to deterioration.
- Foul odors: Persistent bad odors coming from your drains can indicate pipe damage. When the odor lingers despite cleaning and maintenance, it may be time to consider replacement.
- Visible damage: Visible signs of wear, corrosion, or cracks in your pipes are a clear indication that your drainage system is compromised and needs to be replaced.
- Water backups: Frequent water backups, especially in multiple fixtures, is a strong signal of a failing drainage system with damaged pipes that require a full drain replacement.

Drain Replacement FAQs
Can I replace a drain by myself?
No, we do not recommend doing this. Drain replacements require extensive plumbing experience and specialized tools to complete properly. It’s recommended to hire a professional to ensure the replacement is performed correctly and safely, as improper installation can lead to more significant issues down the road.
How long do drains generally last?
Drains can last for decades, depending on the material used and the environmental conditions. However, factors like frequent clogging, corrosion, and tree root intrusion can shorten their lifespan significantly, requiring premature replacement.
