How often do you think about the drains in your home? If we had to guess, it would be \u201cnot often.\u201d Probably only when you\u2019ve got a clogged drain or one so slow you find yourself standing ankle-deep in water in the shower.<\/p>\nHow often do you think about the drains in your home? If we had to guess, it would be \u201cnot often.\u201d Probably only when you\u2019ve got a clogged drain or one so slow you find yourself standing ankle-deep in water in the shower.<\/p>\n
You can sometimes take care clogged and slow drain with the help of a sink or toilet plunger. (The two are different, so make sure you use the right one.) A hand-cranked drain snake, aka drain auger, is another option. After that, you may be tempted to purchase a bottle of \u201cdrain cleaner\u201d from the store. Please don\u2019t\u2014instead, call a plumber for drain cleaning in Bucks County, PA<\/a>. You can rely on our plumbers to take care of drain cleaning.<\/p>\n There are two times when it\u2019s best to call us for professional drain cleaning. The first we just mentioned: you\u2019ve got an obstinate clog you can\u2019t remove with basic methods. Chemical drain cleaners can potentially harm the drainpipes (and possibly you, as these chemicals are highly toxic) and don\u2019t actually \u201cclean\u201d anything: they just eat a hole through an obstruction. Drain cleaning from pro plumbers not only clears out the blockage, it actually cleans<\/em>, removing all the debris from the drainpipe walls. This makes it difficult for the clog to come back, something that often happens with non-professional drain cleaning attempts.<\/p>\n The second time to call for drain cleaning is \u2026 once every year. You see, drain cleaning isn\u2019t only a plumbing repair resource. It\u2019s also a preventive maintenance resource. Your home\u2019s air conditioning and heating need annual maintenance (we ought to know, since we\u2019re also an HVAC contractor) and so does your plumbing.<\/p>\n During routine drain cleaning, our plumbers use the best hydro-jetters and other tools on the drains around the house to restore them to \u201clike-new\u201d condition. This makes it unlikely you\u2019ll deal with clogs during the rest of the year, since it prevents new build-up from starting.<\/p>\n Regular drain cleaning also keeps the plumbing healthy and extends its lifespan. Drains filled with build-up and debris can start to corrode; this is especially a problem with soap scum build-up, which creates a chemical reaction with the metal in the pipes.<\/p>\n Finally, during drain cleaning, a plumber will get a close look at the drainage system using video camera equipment. If there are places that need repairs\u2014and these often are hard to see until they become bigger problems later\u2014repairs can be scheduled and sometimes done on the spot.<\/p>\n When we do a drain cleaning job, we do it right. We only use the most advanced equipment and ecologically safe products. (Oh, did we mention chemical drain cleaners are terrible for the environment?) We\u2019ll take care of special needs, such as septic system drains and roof drains.<\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t scheduled drain cleaning this year yet (or ever), have it done before the big holiday feast season arrives. This is one of the roughest times of the year for your drains, and cleaning them will make life much easier.<\/p>\n There are two times when it\u2019s best to call us for professional drain cleaning.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[36],"tags":[16,141,333],"class_list":["post-3334","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-plumbing","tag-bucks-county","tag-clogged-drain","tag-drain-cleaning"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carneyallseasons.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3334","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carneyallseasons.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carneyallseasons.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carneyallseasons.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carneyallseasons.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3334"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.carneyallseasons.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3334\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3337,"href":"https:\/\/www.carneyallseasons.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3334\/revisions\/3337"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.carneyallseasons.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3334"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carneyallseasons.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3334"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.carneyallseasons.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3334"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}When to Call Us for Drain Cleaning<\/h2>\n
