Signs You Need Drain Repair
Some more noticeable than others, here are some common signs your drains may need a repair:
- Wet spots or dripping around your pipes
- Slow drains
- Frequent clogs
- Multiple clogged drains at the same time
- Sudden, frequent clogging after a period of extreme weather
These are similar symptoms of drains that need to be cleaned, but if you’re frequently cleaning your drains and the issues keep happening, there may be a backup somewhere that is likely caused by a cracked or busted pipe.
Contact HELP Plumbing if you notice these symptoms in your drains. We operate under the 7 Principles of HELP because we truly believe in putting your best interest first.
Drain Repair in Greater Cincinnati
Hairline cracks and busted pipes are common drain issues often caused by:
- Excessive clogs that go untouched
- Extreme weather conditions
- Outdated materials like steel or cast-iron pipes (common in older homes)
Hairline cracks in PVC pipes can be repaired by lightly sanding the pipe and applying PVC glue over the crack. Busted pipes may require repair or replacement, though, depending on the severity of the issue and the state of your drains. Whichever drain issue you have, it should be repaired by a professional to prevent additional problems down the line.
Take care of your drainage issues quickly! Contact HELP Plumbing for prompt service and reliable repairs.
Sewer Lines vs. Drain Lines
Your sewer line is a single pipe that runs underground from your home’s drain lines to the city sewer line, connecting the two. If you notice frequent clogs or slow drainage at the lowest points in your house, like a basement or first-floor bathroom, then the backup may be in your sewer line, not a particular drain, meaning you need sewer line repair or replacement.
Drain lines refer to the various drains from which water exits your home, such as in sinks, showers, and toilets. Drain issues are often inside your home and local to one or multiple drains, depending on which drain lines are connected.

Frequently Asked Questions
What materials are used for drainpipes?
Your drain pipes should be made of durable materials, such as PVC and ABS. Steel and cast iron are outdated drainpipe materials that are no longer installed.
What causes drainpipe damage?
Damaged drainpipes can leak and cause water damage in your home or yard. Some common reasons for drainpipe damage include:
- Corrosion from many years of use
- Separations at joints
- Damage to the drain trap
- Tree root intrusion
- Consistent clogs
The best way to assess this problem is with a camera inspection to find the root cause of the damage.
How do you prevent drainpipe damage?
- Avoid chemical drain cleaners: These are caustic and can damage the pipes themselves.
- Use caution with what you send down the drain: Avoid grease, unnecessary food, hair, or similar items that could clog your drain pipe.
- Soften hard water: Hard water contains minerals that can build up in your pipes, and a water softener will help reduce this risk.
