You should call for a drain cleaning when you notice it takes water longer to leave your sinks or toilets. If you start smelling a foul odor from the draining system this may be from the bacteria growing on the clog. Overflowing toilets and water backing up means there is something blocking the system. A definite sign you need to call a plumber for drain cleaning. But you can also call for this service before you notice a clog. Drain cleaning ensures that it gets rid of the gunk in your system before it has a chance to build up and cause problems. When drains are regularly cleaned they help keep the plumbing system working for a long time. But the older a home the more frequent the drain cleaning needs to be.

If you want to avoid clogs you just have to avoid having things go down the drain. This includes throwing food scraps in the kitchen sink, flushing toilet paper down the toilet, and letting hair fall into the shower drain. To avoid this install a drain guard around the opening. This could help catch these items before they make it too far down the drain. It’s cheap to purchase and is easier to clean and take care of. We also recommend that fats or oil not be poured down the sink as the cold temperature will make them congeal together and cause a clog. While these tips help reduce the change of a blockage it doesn’t mean that it can’t still occur. So when you do notice a slower drain call a plumber.

Drain repair can involve replacing the pipes due to leaks, cracks in the system, tree root growth, old pipes, etc. When pipes have problems they interfere with the whole plumbing system as they can cause waste that was supposed to leave the home to enter the system once more. There are so many things that can go wrong with a drain so let an experienced plumber deal with the problem. A drain repair can be done without much excavation using trenchless pipe repair but we can also use our camera inspection to tell us where the problem lies. A drain repair helps get rid of underperforming pipes in the system.

Drain repairs are needed to keep your plumbing system working at an optimal rate. Drains like everything has a lifespan. If you have cast iron pipes they could last you 80 – 100 years but if you have (PVC) or plastic pipes they can only last you 25-40 years. This means you need to get these fixtures replaced in your lifetime. Your plumbing systems are meant to last a long time but depending on how old your home is it’s better to have a plumber check the conditions of your system to determine if drain repairs are needed. Replacing plumbing parts helps keep your home running smoothly and reduces the chance of plumbing problems in the future.
