Professional Drain Cleaning Benefits
Many homeowners believe that cleaning residential drains is as simple as using store-bought drain cleaners every few months. Unfortunately, these products can be harmful to your plumbing system, causing extensive corrosion due to the use of caustic chemicals in their formulation. We advise having a professional use safer techniques like hydro jetting or tools like drain snakes, augers, and plungers to remove debris and clogs that build up over time.
There are several benefits to having our team clean your drains.
- Safer plumbing system
- Better smelling drains
- Reduction in repair needs
- Proper drainage
- Extending pipe lifespan
In between preventive cleanings, you should watch out for signs that indicate there is a problem with your drains. This includes bad smells coming from your drains, drains that do not flow properly, leaks and backups. These issues can be dangerous, especially when backflow is present. Working with a knowledgeable team like ours can confirm that you have a clean and safe water supply for bathing, cooking and cleaning.
Make sure that you don’t put items down your drains that could lead to the need for repairs. This includes things like trash, hair, food scraps and grease. Even if a package of wipes claims to be flushable, throw them away instead of putting them into your toilet.
Don’t forget about the drains that are outside your home as well. You may find these drains on your garage floor, driveway, garden or walkways. Make sure they remain clear of debris, including leaves, garbage, and grass. Have our team inspect and clean these drains as part of your preventive maintenance plan. We can check to make sure that your drains are not experiencing root intrusion or physical damage as a result of age or wear and tear.
