You count on the drains in your home to carry waste away to the sewer system. When the drains are clogged, waste cannot move as it should. Professional drain cleaning is an essential service to keep the plumbing system in your Stafford home working in a reliable and efficient manner.
What Is Professional Drain Cleaning?
Professional plumbers use an assortment of tools and equipment to clean drains. Your plumber may use a scope or camera equipment to look for obstructions if your drains are clogged. Drain snakes and augers help dislodge stubborn clogs so that the debris can move along the pipe pathway. High-pressure water is then used to blast away all buildup inside your pipes, including that on the pipe walls. Once finished, your drain pipes will be clear and free of debris and toxins.
How Often Do I Need Professional Drain Cleaning?
We recommend scheduling professional drain cleaning once a year. This annual service provides a host of benefits as discussed below.
Removal and Prevention of Clogs
Drain cleaning removes clogs from your drain pipes so that water and waste have a clear path to the sewer. This service also removes buildup and gunk from inside the pipes, preventing full-blown clogs from forming.
Clears Away Toxins and Contaminants
Drains are a hot spot for mold and bacteria growth. Mold and mildew thrive in damp, dark environments. Bacteria grows along with rotting food and other debris. Mold and mildew in your pipes may continue to grow and show up outside of the pipes over time. This may cause the toxins to spread throughout your house, leaving you with an unhealthy situation. Drain cleaning removes all of the food, hair, and other debris taking up space inside your pipes, taking the toxins and contaminants with them.
Eliminates Foul Odors From the Drains
As food sits inside your drains and builds up, so do rotten odors. If you start to smell something nasty from the drains, you need professional drain cleaning. Eliminating these contaminants from your pipes washes away the foul odors and leaves you with a fresh, clean drainage system.
Eliminates Noisy Drainage
Blocked pipes may cause gurgling sounds when you flush due to imbalanced pressure in your system. You might also hear cracking or popping noises as water and waste try to squeeze through narrowed or clogged drain pipes. Once the plumbing system is clean, the passageway inside the pipes returns to normal size and allows waste to move through without sound.
Speeds Drainage
Have you noticed water pooling at your feet while you shower? It may eventually drain out of the tub, but it shouldn’t linger. Slow-draining fixtures are a sure sign of buildup inside your drain pipes. Debris inside your pipes may grow slowly enough that you do not even notice until you’ve got standing water or a fixture that won’t empty. Removing the debris will restore your drainage speeds to what they should be.
Improves the Longevity of Your Plumbing System
Clogged pipes are at an increased risk of damage due to the pressure inside of them. Buildup can weigh down your pipes and cause them to burst with time. You may also experience leaks in the pipes as contaminants erode the lining of the drains. Regular drain cleaning helps keep your drain pipes in top shape and lowers your risk of a plumbing emergency.
Saves You Money
Spending money on professional drain cleaning will actually save you money in the long run. You’ll spend less money on emergency plumbing services such as clog removal and pipe repairs when you keep foreign material out of the drains. You’ll lower the risk of water backups and floods, which could cost you hundreds or thousands of dollars to clean up and repair.
