The Advantages of Having Your Drains Cleaned by a Plumbing Professional

April 3, 2024

Your home’s drain system requires regular cleaning to keep clogs from becoming a problem. If it’s been a while since your drains were professionally cleaned, give 1st Choice Plumbing, Flood & Restoration a call. We’ve been providing expert drain cleaning services to homeowners in Oceanside, CA, and surrounding communities since 2012.

There are many ways a drain can become clogged:

  • Placing too much material down the drain at a single time.
  • Placing the wrong items in the drain. Bones, fruit rinds, paper towels, plastic food wrapping, cooking oils and grease, human hair, and sticky foods like rice and pasta are just a few of the items that should never be placed down a drain.
  • Broken or damaged pipes.
  • Root infiltration and blockages.

Clogs Can Cause Damage to Your Pipes

Over time, the clogged material can corrode and weaken a drain pipe; the blockage can put pressure on the surrounding pipe, resulting in ruptures and other damage. While clogged drains are a commonplace plumbing problem, persistent slow drains or clogs that are resistant to being cleared by plungers and drain cleaners may require professional attention.

The Advantages of Having Your Drains Professionally Cleaned

Having your drains cleaned on a regular basis can provide many advantages:

  • Having your drains professionally cleaned can clear away any obstructions, reducing the risks of future clogs.
  • Some clogs occur so deep in a drain that plungers and cleaners can’t reach them.
  • A professional drain cleaning can reveal potential plumbing problems, such as corrosion, rust. cracks, holes, etc.
  • Removing organic materials can make your drains more clean and sanitary, eliminating bacteria, mold and other microorganisms that can cause bad odors and health risks.
  • Clearing away material in your drains helps protect your home from water damage.
  • Faster drainage.
