Why Every Home Needs Professional Drain Cleaning Services

Keeping Pipes Clean Prevents a Host of Plumbing Problems

People rarely want to deal with the plumbing unless there is something wrong, but drain cleaning can actually prevent worse, more expensive plumbing disasters and repairs from happening. This blog will discuss the benefits of routine drain cleaning by a professional plumber and its importance to prevention.

Clears and Prevents Clogs

Chemical drain cleaners from the store may clean the drain, but the corrosive nature of the chemicals can cause damage to the pipes and lead to corrosion. Plumbing professionals are the best bet to perform routine drain cleaning safely. Drain cleaning can be used to unclog pipes or prevent them from clogging in the first place. 

Some drain cleaning methods used by plumbers are drain snaking and hydro jetting. Hydro jetting uses a high-pressure stream of water that power washes the inside of the pipe and breaks up any clogs or buildup inside to prevent clogs. A drain snake is a long, flexible wire with a coiled metal wire at the end used to dislodge clogs. 

Reduces the Risk of Flooding and Water Damage

Clogs are one of the common causes of leaks and burst pipes because of the pressure they put on the plumbing, so preventing clogs will also help prevent these additional plumbing issues. Clogged pipes can lead to leaks and pipe bursts, which then cause flooding, water damage, and the costly repairs that follow. They can also cause sewage backups, resulting in serious health hazards that require extensive clean-up and safety measures. 

Fortunately, regular drain cleaning can help prevent these issues from occurring. Professional drain cleaning can clear out clogged pipes and ensure that water can flow freely, reducing the risk of leaks, burst pipes, and sewage backups and the flooding and water damage they can cause in a home or business.

Fewer Repairs and Cleanups, and Extends the Life of Pipes

Routine drain cleaning is essential to keeping plumbing systems functioning correctly and can help people avoid costly repairs and cleanups due to a plumbing emergency. By having their drains cleaned regularly, homeowners will reduce the chance of encountering an unexpected blockage that could lead to water damage and other costly problems. 

In addition, regular drain cleaning extends the life of the plumbing by reducing the amount of buildup in the pipes. This can help prevent problems that require repiping, such as corrosion. Corrosion weakens pipes which can lead to an even higher chance of pipe leaks and bursts. Setting up a preventative drain cleaning visit is cheaper in both time and money than dealing with an emergency plumbing repair and cleanup.
