A Clean Drain is a Trouble-Free Drain
When a home’s plumbing seems to work as it should, it tends to be taken for granted. Unfortunately, this is the point when problems can occur from neglect. Clogs and other plumbing problems rarely arise from a single incident. There is typically a long history of buildup. Homeowners would much rather deal with regular maintenance visits than plumbing emergencies, so they should consider getting routine professional drain cleaning.
Drain Cleaning Removes Buildup and Prevents Clogs
One of the most common plumbing problems is clogs. It is one thing to have a toilet clog that can be taken care of easily with a plunger and another to have a clog in the main sewer line. These deep clogs do not happen all at once and tend to result from buildup. This is precisely what professional drain cleaning is for.
Drain cleaning can unclog these blockages and also be used to prevent them as a part of regular maintenance. A common method of drain cleaning is hydro jetting. A hydro jet uses high-pressure water to power wash the inside of the pipes. It should only be done by qualified plumbers to prevent any damage to the pipes or injury.
Drain Cleaning Mitigates the Risk of Flooding
When leaks happen, burst pipes and flooding may not be far behind. Pipes can burst because of corrosion and age, but clogs can also be responsible for pipes leaking and bursting. Drain cleaning decreases the risk of flooding from a burst pipe by preventing clogs. Clean lines are less likely to rupture because they do not have the excessive internal pressure exerted on them as happens with a clog and buildups.
Clean pipes are also less likely to be affected by corrosion since it involves a chemical reaction between the material of the lines and specific things in the water. Flooding can cause water damage and impact a home’s structural integrity. Mold and mildew also thrive in moist spaces created by flooding. This can cause structural damage and be a health hazard to vulnerable members of the household. Drain cleaning can keep these things from causing damage and expensive repairs.
Drain Cleaning Can Prevent Plumbing Emergencies
Once the water in a sink starts draining slowly, the dominoes of disaster have already begun to fall because it’s a common sign of clogs. Routine drain cleaning can prevent emergency plumbing repairs by removing debris and buildup in the pipes, preventing clogs, leaks, and pipe bursts caused by clogs. However, without drain cleaning and if signs of clogs are ignored, then the following additional issues can occur:
- Sewage Backups: This is a nasty occurrence that means the sewer water is flowing the wrong way. The cleanup from this sort of incident is a thorough and lengthy process, even before getting the pipes flowing again.
- Water Pressure Issues: Undiscovered leaks, even those caused by clogs, can cause low water pressure in plumbing fixtures, typically most noticeable when using showers and faucets.
- Draining Problems: Clogs can cause slow draining or completely stop the draining, causing standing water in the bathtub and sinks.
