The Benefits of Regular Drain Cleaning

Drain cleaning is a service few homeowners take advantage of even though it could save a lot of money and trouble later on. The drains in your home take on many substances throughout the course of a year. Fats, oils, and greases enter the pipes through the kitchen drains (although most experts recommend dumping these in a separate trash receptacle) and may solidify inside of the pipes. Food waste and debris can continue to collect until a major drain clog forms. Or, hair and soap scum may be the culprit in your bathroom drain pipe or further along in the sewer lines.

No matter what the source of the potential clog may be, you can prevent it from inconveniencing your home in the first place by scheduling regular drain cleaning with a trained plumber every year. Plumbers have specialized equipment you won’t find in stores that helps remove clogs and keep them away. These include drain snakes (or drain augers) which move down the pipes to pull out tough clogs or break apart some obstructions so that they can easily move down the drain. They also use video pipe inspection and hydro jetting to clear clogs away for good. Here are some of the benefits of scheduling annual drain cleaning with a professional.

• Safe for Your Drains: Unlike the toxic drain cleaning liquids sold in hardware stores, which can injure your skin and damage your pipes, the equipment used for professional drain cleaning is entirely safe for your drains.
• Remove Clogs: Drain augers and hydro jetting can remove clogs entirely, so they will not inconvenience you during a family get-together or after a long, hard day at work.
• Prevent Clogs from Occurring in the Future: Hydro jetting also helps to protect the pipes by blasting away any “sludge” stuck inside and keeping drain clogs from occurring in the future.
• Learn about Problems in Your Pipes: Video pipe inspection comes standard with drain cleaning, and it may help your plumber to find out about any leaks or corrosion in the drain pipes as well.
