If you are like many homeowners, you may wonder what the
benefits are to cleaning your home's drains. There are many reasons that scheduling
a drain cleaning is beneficial, the first, and possibly most important reason
is for preventative maintenance.
To understand why preventative maintenance is so important
for your home's pipes, you must first understand the key role that your drains
and pipes play in your home and plumbing system's overall wellbeing. Your home's
plumbing system relies on your drains to carry away water and waste. If water
and waste are not being carried away, that means that they are remaining in
your system until they eventually overflow.
Build up or clogs in drains can lead to larger problems such
as your bathtub, sink or toilet bowl overflowing with water. This overflow of
water can lead to expensive remediation costs, but it can also damage your pipes.
Damaged pipes can mean leaks and flooding within your home.
Clogged drains can also lead to additional issues such as slow
draining sinks and showers and bad odors. When hair, soap scum and other
organic matter get stuck inside of your drains, they can begin to decompose
which can cause foul odors within your home.
Why can't just I use a drain cleaner? Drain cleaner may seem
like the simplest solution to the issue at hand, and there are a variety of
different brands and options to choose from. While using drain cleaner is a
viable option, we do not recommend regular use of drain cleaners as they often
contain harsh chemicals that are bad for the environment and could be hazardous
to your health.
Now you may be wondering, how often should I schedule drain
cleanings for my home? Most experts recommend having your drains cleaned every
one to two years.
