Preventative drain cleaning is a necessity to prevent clogs and blockages in your drains. You will have a regular sink and tub drain in your bathroom. Your kitchen will have a drain line for the sink and for a dishwasher. Discharge of water will go down the drain and out a sewer pipe. The sewer pipe can go to a septic tank or into a sewer line. Your home may also have a drain pipe that connects to a storm drain, if you live in a city.
Common issues with drain pipes is blockage or a clog. This is common in a bathroom and is caused by hair, soaps, grease, food, and even from hard water buildup. Preventative drain cleaning will remedy a problem before it even has the chance to start. Plumbers have tools that can be used to clean the inside of your drains to keep them free and working at their best when they are being used.
Pipes that lead to a storm drain can cause flooding in your home if they become blocked. One cause of blockage that can occur in this type of pipe is from the penetration of roots. Roots are drawn to sources of water and an underground drain pipe is often found. If you do not have the drain pipe cleaned out on a regular basis, then roots can get out of hand and block the pipe. This will cause water to back up into your basement.
Preventative drain cleaning is also needed to ensure that your pipes are free of debris that can cause the pipes to crack or even burst. This will be an expensive repair that you will need to pay. Having all your home’s drains cleaned regularly will eliminate the chance of this problem occurring.
