A clogged drain is a nuisance, and sometimes an emergency, and it’s a problem that almost any home will deal with at one time or another. Sometimes a simple sink plunger or a hand-cranked drain snake will take care of the problem. At other times, it requires the assistance of professionals plumbers with the best equipment to clear out the drain using special drain cleaning techniques.
But drain cleaning isn’t a service that you should only call for when you have a clog. You can make drain cleaning a routine job scheduled every year. There are a number of good reasons for doing this:
- Lower the amount of drain clogs: Although there is no way to stop all drain clogs, you can prevent the majority of them from occurring when you have a regular drain cleaning. The scouring power of hydro-jetting eliminates most of the build-up on the drainpipe walls, and this makes it harder for new build-up to start. Most years, you won’t experience any clogs or slows drains at all, thanks to cleaning.
- Prevent problems from hard water: Hard water leaves calcium deposits on drainpipes, which not only makes clogs more likely but also increases water pressure. Drain cleaning scours away these calcium deposits to give you a clean start.
- Increase plumbing system longevity: Regular cleaning of your drainpipes helps prevent problems from excess wear and tear and early pipe decay. You won’t have to worry about major repiping jobs in the future when the pipes are cared for regularly.
- Stop unpleasant drain odors: When organic waste starts to develop in drainpipes, it will rot and create bad smells from the drains. This can also lead the drain flies. Regular cleaning will keep all these problems from starting.
