Signs You Need Your Drains Cleaned
Most drain problems occur slowly over time. Thus, paying close attention to signs that you need drain cleaning is essential. If you detect any of the following issues, it’s a good idea to schedule service before the problem worsens:
- Sewage backups: Sewage backing up into your drains, toilets, or bathtubs is a sign of a significant blockage, especially if it occurs in multiple places.
- Noxious odors: Noxious odors occur as food, waste, and sewage decompose within the drain. Cleaning the drain eliminates the food bacteria feast upon.
- Slow drainage: Blockages and clogs narrow the interior diameter of your pipes, restricting the flow rate through them.
- Gurgling or bubbling sounds: These sounds are common when air gets trapped within the pipe due to restricted flow.
Professional Drain Cleaning Services
Our drain cleaning services are customized to meet your needs. We use various tools and advanced technologies to identify problems and restore water flow. Our expert plumbers can remove limescale buildup, tree root infiltration, grease, fat, slime, sludge, and other debris from your drains. We’ll thoroughly assess the condition of your drains and determine whether snaking, hydro jetting, or other cleaning solution is the best fit for your drains.
How To Prevent Drain Clogs
The most effective way to protect your drains against damage is to protect them against clogs before they occur. The following tips will help ensure your drains are clean and clear so that the wastewater flows freely into the main sewer line:
- Flush carefully: Watch what you flush down your sinks and toilets. Never deposit grease, cooking fat, melted butter, “flushable” wipes, personal hygiene products, paper towels, etc.
- Use strainers: Install mesh strainers on your sinks and tubs to keep hair and debris from entering the drain.
- Use the garbage disposal carefully: Never put eggshells, coffee grounds, pasta, rice, meat or bones, paper products, chemicals, or paint into your garbage disposal.
- Rinse drains with hot water: Regularly rinse your drains with hot water. But do not use boiling water as this can cause considerable damage to your pipes.
- Use baking soda and vinegar: Pour some baking soda and vinegar into your drains monthly and allow it to sit for around 30 minutes before flushing. It’s safe, eco-friendly, and helps remove debris from your drains.
