What are Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning?
Below are common signs that it’s time to get your drains cleared:
- Slow draining sinks, showers, or tubs
- Low water pressure in both your faucets and your toilet (which will only fill partially)
- Gurgling drains
- Foul odors coming from your drains
If you notice any of these problems, you have a clogged drain. In some cases, you can find temporary solutions through a chemical cleaner or plunger; however, the clog will likely return because those methods merely push the clog farther into your pipe instead of completely removing it.
What Causes Drain Clogs?
Clogs are caused by different sources:
Grease
It’s okay to pour grease down your drains if you’re going to wash it down with hot water, right? Unfortunately, when the grease eventually cools, it will become a solid and block your drain anyway.
Paper
Aside from toilet paper, other forms of paper do not break down as easily and will clog your toilet when flushed (these include paper towels and even cigarettes).
Food
Most food particles will not break down quickly enough to avoid accumulating in the pipes and blocking your drains. If you have a faulty garbage disposal, make sure to avoid throwing food away in your drains until your disposal is repaired or replaced.
The easiest way to avoid clogs is to be careful of what enters your drains on a regular basis. Other factors are more difficult to control, such as invasive tree roots and debris from the environment that builds up in your drain and sewer line over time.
What are the Benefits of Regular Drain Cleaning?
The most important benefit of regular and timely drain cleaning is that it allows you to avoid the problems mentioned above. Clogs are less likely to form and your plumbing fixtures will operate more efficiently. This will help you save water and lower your water bills.
Regular drain cleaning will also help reduce the need for any repairs. Drain cleaning is an effective way to minimize damage to your pipes and avoid repairs that could have been avoided with preventive maintenance.
