If you have a backup in the plumbing, you’ll lose the modern convenience of indoor plumbing. Whether you have a problem with your pipes or want to prevent one, call us to get them cleaned, cleared, and flowing freely again.
Routine drain cleaning keeps your pipes clear of buildup and nasty gunk that creates toxins and causes odors. A professional plumber cleans your drains using specialized tools, preventing clogs and promoting fast and efficient drainage. Expert plumbers recommend having your drains professionally cleaned once a year. Doing so gives you the best prevention against problems and maintains a clear waterway for waste.
For small and simple clogs, especially in the toilet, you can use a plunger to move matter through the pipes. For tougher and bigger clogs, you’ll need a plumber. The plumber may use a drain snake or auger to break up large masses and push them through the pipes. These tools are designed for use by a professional who is knowledgeable and experienced in handling them.
Never attempt to stick anything down the drain to remove obstructions. You could wind up damaging your plumbing and causing leaks, floods, and other catastrophes. Additionally, avoid store-bought chemical plumbing products. These chemicals are harsh and can cause your pipes to erode and weaken, causing leaks. They are also extremely caustic and can stain anything they come in contact with. This includes stainless steel sinks and colored countertops.
Hydro jetting is another method used to clean drains. With hydro jetting, the plumber uses high-pressure water to blast the pipes clean. Your plumber can clean all the drains in your home, from the opening in your sink, tub, or toilet to the end where it empties into your septic system or the municipal sewer line. This process removes all the buildup inside the pipes and on the interior pipe walls. The debris is blown out of your plumbing system through your sewer, leaving you with a clear passage for water and waste. Your plumber is careful with the pressurized water, ensuring your pipes are not damaged during the process.
Aside from using the cleaning service as a preventative measure, you may need the service in response to an existing plumbing issue. There are several warning signs you should be aware of that indicate a need for professional cleaning or drain repair.
A drain that does not empty or one that empties slowly may have a blockage, either full or partial. If your drains make a gurgling or cracking noise, it means that the waterway is narrowing and isn’t sufficient for proper drainage. Nasty odors from your drains may indicate a buildup of foreign substances such as rotten food or could indicate mold and mildew growth. Mold, mildew, and bacteria can grow easily inside dirty drains and have negative health consequences, especially for those with respiratory diseases or compromised immune systems.
Some clogs can end in disaster for your pipes. As material builds up and water is unable to pass, the pipe may begin to weaken. Burst pipes are common issues with large clogs and can destroy not only your plumbing but the areas of the house nearby. If you have a clog, you need professional help immediately to prevent further damage to your plumbing structure and personal property.
