Reasons To Hire A Drain Cleaning Company

When you have a slow or clogged drain, it’s tempting to use an over-the-counter drain cleaner; they’re quick and easy to use and don’t require a plumber.

However, chemical drain cleaners are highly toxic, presenting many health hazards if you’re not careful. Also, these products have corrosive properties that can wear out pipes with overuse, leading to weakened joints and leaks.

Also, many drain cleaners don’t remove the clog but push it deeper into the system, and the clog returns.

If you’re hesitant about hiring a professional drain cleaning company, here are a few things to consider.

• Home Remedies Don’t Always Work Although some people swear by them, many home remedies like soap and water or vinegar don’t work because many clogs are too deep for these methods to reach.
• Plumbers Have More Advanced Tools Besides a plunger, a wrench, or coat hanger, most homeowners don’t have access to the professional tools plumbers use like augers, snakes, endoscopic cameras, and water jets. These tools are much more effective at removing clogs than what you have at home.
• Chemical Drain Cleaners Are Dangerous As mentioned, chemical drain cleaners are dangerous to your health and your plumbing. Many of these products use sulfuric or hydrochloric acid to remove clogs, but these chemicals are highly corrosive to some pipes. Also, these products don’t remove clogs, but break them up, meaning they often return.
• You Can’t See Into Your Plumbing System Every clog is different. And if you don’t have a way to look into your plumbing to see what’s going on, it’s impossible to know the best method for dealing with the problem. Professional plumbers use high definition cameras to determine what’s going on in your drains to devise the most effective solution for removing clogs and leaving your pipes clean.

At All Pro Plumbing, we guarantee our drain cleaning services to be safe and effective and we’re available for emergency drain repair.

Common Causes of Clogged Drains

Clogged drains are one of the most common household plumbing problems, but the good news is that most clogs are preventable with a little common sense and foresight.

Here are the most common causes of clogged drains.

• Fat, Oil & Grease Many people make the mistake of pouring cooking fat, oil, and grease down the drain. These materials solidify, causing stubborn blockages that can damage your pipes.
• Hair Another common cause of drain clogs is hair, especially in showers and tubs.
• Non-flushable Items The only things you should flush down the toilet are human waste and toilet paper. However, many people flush items like paper towels, feminie hygiene products, or personal wipes. If a product doesn’t fully break down, it will eventually lead to clogs.
• Food Waste Putting food scraps down the drain is a big no-no. Many types of food scraps don’t break down and mix with soap scum and grease to create thick, nasty clogs that are difficult to remove.
• Mineral Buildup People with hard water are at risk for mineral buildup leading to clogs. Over time, minerals like calcium buildup in pipes like cholesterol in an artery, reducing water pressure and leading to a clog.

If you’re careful about what you put down your drains, you can avoid most of these problems. However, when you have a stubborn clog you can’t solve with home remedies, call All Pro Plumbing for help.

If a clog proves too resilient, call us and let our hydro jetting blast it away for good.
