Imagine standing at the kitchen sink and a rotten odor hits you. How do you get rid of that stench? You can try cleaners, but they likely won’t remove the source of the smell. They only mask the odor until the fresh cleaner scent wears off. For smelly sinks, slow drainage, and other issues inside your drains, you need professional drain cleaning services from a plumber you can trust.

How Professional Drain Cleaning Works

Cleaning drains is a delicate business that requires a knowledgeable plumber to complete. If you have a blockage in your drainage system, we’ll begin by trying to locate the obstruction. We may use special scoping equipment to find the clog and tools to dislodge it. These tools may include drain snakes and augers that pulverize the obstruction and send it on its way. After this, we’ll use high-powered water to blast all other buildup, residue, and contaminants out of your drains. Once complete, you’ll have a full passage for waste so that your drains empty easily to your septic or sewer system.

Scheduling Drain Cleaning Regularly

The best way to prevent messes and damage inside your plumbing system is to stay on top of things with routine maintenance. Drain cleaning is a regular task that should be scheduled once a year to keep things clean and clear inside your pipes.

If you’ve fallen behind on routine cleanings, we can still help. Our plumbers can still perform professional drain cleaning even if it has been a while.

Always Hire a Professional Plumber for Drains

DIY drain cleaning is never a safe option. Your plumbing system is crucial for convenience, sanitation, and cleanliness and any damage caused can pose a risk to the integrity of your pipes. For small clogs, you might try to use a plunger, such as when the toilet is blocked. However, if a plunger doesn’t work, you’ll need a professional to fix the problem. Chemical drain cleaners are harsh, and they contain chemicals that can cause erosion inside your drains, leading to holes and leaks. No matter how skilled you think you are, you should never stick a foreign object down the drain. You could puncture your pipes or get the object stuck, leading to an even worse problem than you’ve started with. Always leave the drain cleaning to the professionals and save yourself the headaches.

Benefits of Professional Drain Cleaning

Hiring a professional plumber to clean your drains has several clear advantages, most of which help your plumbing system stay healthy and help you save money.

Remove Clogs

Food, hair, and other debris can build up inside your drains and form together to cause a clog, which keeps water and waste from flowing out of your pipes. Professional drain cleaning removes these clogs using our specialized equipment and tools so that waste can move freely.

Prevent Future Blockages

Before a clog happens, buildup occurs. This buildup may not be large enough to stop drainage, but if left to sit inside the pipe it will eventually. When we clean your drains, we remove all the gunk and buildup, which prevents future clogs from forming.

Eliminate Foul Odors

That nasty smell you notice coming from your drain is a product of rotten or contaminated substances hanging around in the pipes. The only way to eliminate that odor is to remove the substances causing it. With professional drain cleaning, we’ll flush whatever offending matter is hanging around down the drain and out of your plumbing system, leaving you with odor-free drains.

Improve Drainage Speed

As foreign matter builds up inside your drainage pipes, your fixtures may not drain as quickly as they should. This could happen gradually over time, so that you may not notice until it’s too late and a complete clog has formed. However, with routine cleaning, our plumbers will help you keep all your drains emptying quickly to avoid standing water.

Flush Away Harmful Contaminants

Mold, mildew, and bacteria grow well in dark, damp environments, especially when there is rotten food and other substances to promote this growth. As they grow, they can spread throughout your drainage system and into your sink, shower, or toilet. When we clean your drains, our powerful water technique ensures that the substances that have promoted the growth of these contaminants are gone, taking the mold and bacteria with them. We blast away even the smallest particles, ensuring all foreign matter is removed and the interior walls of your pipes are clean and healthy.

Eliminate Noisy Drainage

You may hear a swooshing sound as water moves through the pipes. However, it should be subtle and not accompanied by any other noises. If you hear loud noises such as pops or crackles, these indicate an obstruction in your pipes. Gurgling noises, especially in other fixtures when you drain a fixture, also indicate that water and waste are not able to travel freely through your pipes. Professional drain cleaning removes the obstructions so that waste can move quietly through the pipes.

Prevent Overflows and Floods

Floods and overflows occur when waste is unable to move through the drains and with nowhere to go. A blocked drain causes overflows, especially in toilets or other fixtures where you might not be paying attention. When overflows happen, you could flood your space and be stuck making repairs caused by water damage.

Protect Your Pipes

Clean pipes are healthy pipes that last longer. Keeping foreign matter from building up inside the pipes helps protect the integrity of your plumbing system. As debris accumulates inside your pipe, it can weigh down the pipe. The more weight and pressure applied, the more likely the pipe is to burst or come apart from the other pipes in the pipeline. Some foreign substances can also cause erosion inside the pipes, causing them to weaken. Some pipes may leak slowly over time, while others may burst apart completely. Either way, you’ll be left making repairs or replacing the damaged pipes and cleaning up the mess left behind. Burst and leaky pipes can cause extensive damage if not found right away, as they often are not. You may have to replace walls, ceilings, floors, and more due to leaks within your drainage system.
