Common Issues Due to DIY Drain Cleaning

There's something to be said for professional plumbing services. When it comes to the drains in your home, do-it-yourself attempts at cleaning can do more harm than good. This is especially the case if you rely on drain cleaning products too often. These products are corrosive in nature, which can damage your drains. Even incorrectly using a plunger can be risky if debris is pushed further down.

The good news is professional drain cleaning services eliminate the risks that go along with DIY drain cleaning. You'll also benefit from knowing safe cleaning methods are used - and that the job has been thorough. You'll also get results that are longer lasting, which is good for your peace of mind and your drains.

Warning Signs of A Clog

A clogged drain is sometimes obvious if you have a drain that's backing up or flowing over. However, there are some other signs to look for that suggest it's time to give us a call to schedule a professional cleaning. These include:

  • Slow draining
  • Unpleasant drain odors
  • One drain backing up when another one is used
  • Water gathering around your drains or not fully going down

Regular drain use is a common cause of clogs as debris builds up over time. Clogs can also be caused by materials like grease that solidify when they cool or items like larger food leftovers not meant to be put down drains. Clogs can also be caused by structural problems with your drains. At the first sign of trouble, be sure to reach out to a plumber in Richardson, TX, and nearby areas.

What to Expect

We get started with an initial inspection of the affected drain(s) if the source of the problem isn't clear. This is also done to determine the location and extent of the clog or blockage. If it's a minor clog, for instance, drain snaking may be all that's necessary. More extensive or severe clogs or blockages often benefit more from hydro or water jetting. What we're doing here is using powerful blasts of water to break up debris and remove caked-on pipe scale. Our drain cleaning service is readily available in these service areas:

Drain Cleaning FAQs

How long does it take to clean drains?

It depends on what's going on with the drains in your home. If we're just cleaning one drain, it usually takes less than an hour to get the job done.

How often should drains be cleaned for preventative purposes?

A good rule of thumb is to have your drains professionally cleaned at least once a year. Some people like to do this prior to the holidays since this is when drains are used more often.

What can be done to prevent clogs?

Scheduling regular drain cleanings is one way to achieve this goal. We also suggest not putting grease and similar substances down your drains. Instead, use a separate container for these materials. Additionally, avoid flushing items like baby wipes that don't break up well.

What if there are tree roots in my drain pipes?

This sometimes happens with underground drain lines. Fortunately, it's a problem often resolved with hydro jetting. The pressure from the water breaks up the roots so they can be flushed out of your drain lines.

Does my homeowner's policy cover drain cleaning?

Typically, drain cleaning is not covered by a homeowners policy. However, if you schedule preventative cleanings, you'll extend the life of your drains, which could help you out with your insurance premiums.
