Drain cleaning is probably not something most people worry about on a regular basis. It’s likely that many of us don’t consider it at all until something becomes clogged up and needs to be cleared out. But there are reasons for keeping regular drain cleaning in mind, and it’s not all entirely to help prevent annoying clogs.
Lots and lots of things go down your drains every day, especially in sinks, either in the kitchen or the bathroom. The kitchen drains may really have it the worst, having to deal with food particles, grease, chemical cleaners, and more. These sorts of things can cause damage to the drain pipes over time, even if they never create clogs. And if they are causing damage, you’re not likely to know about it until something happens, such as a pipe begins to leak, or breaks altogether. And of course if the pipes break, you’ll have to pay to have them replaced. Additionally, they could break in a location that is generally inaccessible, so you’ll have the added expense of patching your home back up once the repairs to the pipes are made.
As mentioned, these issues may not cause clogs, but on the other hand, they might. If this occurs it could be anything from a minor clog that you can deal with yourself, to a clog so severe that it’s causing water to backup and flood areas of your home. Clogs such as this will have to be dealt with professionally and in a timely manner, since the longer you allow water to seep in to walls and floors, the more damage is being done to your house.
The shower drain is another area that should receive regular cleaning, largely because hair can buildup inside the pipes and eventually cause clogs. This, too, can cause flooding. And even if it doesn’t clog, there will still be the potential for damage to the pipes since there will be debris hanging out inside of them. If these pipes eventually corrode and break, they can cause massive water damage and even the ceiling beneath the shower area to eventually collapse if let go for too long.
A good way to prevent serious damage to your pipes and serious clogs from occurring is you have your plumber perform regular drain cleaning in Seguin maintenance on all drains. This is of course something that you’ll have to pay for to be done, but in the long run it will save you a substantial amount of money over having to replace pipes, dealing with water damage, or having your home torn apart in order to access the problem areas. So don’t wait any longer—get your pipes thoroughly cleaned today!
