Drain Cleaning: Keep Your Plumbing Running Efficiently

Below are some common signs to look out that indicate it’s time to get your drain system clean:

• Slow Draining: Water from the faucet or pipe is taking longer than usual to drain, whether it’s in one bathroom or throughout the entire house draining system.
• Odor: If you notice any unpleasant odor coming near or from your drains, it’s a sign of a clogged drain.
• Frequent Clogs: If your drain system gets clogged more often than usual, it can be difficult to channel wastewater away.

Observing and taking care of such issues early can help you avoid bigger plumbing problems ahead.

When to Use Hydro Jetting

Conventional methods often fail to remove stubborn clogs. In most cases, hydro jetting is the only efficient and recommended option. This method uses high-pressure water to get rid of stubborn blockages in drain pipes. It is usually used for commercial properties, where the mess can be much bigger than residential ones and cause expensive downtime.

Here are some reasons why hydro jetting is an excellent idea:

• Frequent Clogs:  If the drain system gets clogged more often than usual, hydro jetting would be the recommended method for long-term results.
• Grease Build-Up: Kitchens, usually in commercial spaces like restaurants, often experience heavy grease build-up in the pipelines, which requires hydro-jetting to clear up.
• Tree Roots: Hydro jetting can clear roots that have stuck into pipes for the outdoor drainage system.

Do I Need a Repair or Replace?

Sometimes, more than simple cleaning or even repairing the drain may be required, and the only practicable solution is to replace the drain line. Even if your pipes have constant leaks that cannot be repaired, or if your plumbing system is still old, it may be time to have it replaced. Older pipes are more prone to problems, and it is effective to replace them to avoid constant problems in the future.
