People may not realize the importance of drain maintenance, specifically, keeping their drain clear from clogs and periodically having it cleaned. Your drains throughout your home can become clogged with various substances, including hair, grease, and food. Routine service calls are necessary to keep drains from clogging or creating additional problems. When local residents need drain cleaning services from a trusted professional company, they can rely on Redlands Plumbing.
What Causes Drain Issues?
Over time, a drain will begin to have a buildup of substances that can even cause unpleasant odors. In the kitchen, grease from food and cleaning will collect and begin to block the drain. Eventually, the blockage prevents water from draining correctly. Another common issue is in the bathroom areas. Hair can accumulate in the drains quickly along with soap and other residue and cause clogs.
These obstructions can cause drains to overflow with water and can cause extensive damage to structures. When sinks and drains overflow, they can ruin cabinets, countertops, walls, and sheetrock. Repairs for this kind of mishap can cost thousands of dollars and take months to repair. This is one of the reasons having your drain cleaned by professionals periodically is essential.
Routine Drain Maintenance
Don’t be fooled into thinking that you can avoid the need for professional drain cleaning by using liquid or gel drain products found at most retail stores. They don’t completely remedy the issue and can provide a false sense of security about keeping drains clean and clear. Be sure to have a trusted plumbing service provider handle and schedule routine services at least once or twice per year. In some instances, you may need more frequent visits if you have a large family or have regular guests.
What to Expect
When you place a service call to your plumbing company, they will send a team of experts to the location, and they will perform an inspection with special equipment. In some cases, cameras may be needed to get a better idea of the drain’s condition and help identify any other issues that aren’t readily visible. Once the inspection is complete, the plumber will provide information to the homeowner regarding the findings and recommend a course of action.
Once the customer agrees to the recommended services, they will address any underlying issues and then perform routine cleaning and clearing of dirt, debris, and buildup. The result is clear drains free from odors and that flow freely. This process is fast and effective and helps ensure drains are functioning properly to avoid disasters.
