DRAIN CLEANING
As any home or business owner will attest, a clogged drain can make your bathroom or kitchen useless until it’s cleared. Call Rodrick Plumbing & Heating for fast, reliable clogged drain service.
When a drain becomes clogged the signs may be immediate, especially when the stoppage is in a sink or bathtub, when the water simply doesn’t drain quickly. Other times, however, the build-up in the drain can slowly continue to accumulate until water can no longer even enter the plumbing system. That’s when it backs up into the home or business, causing damage to flooring, walls, furniture, and appliances.
Expert Plumbing Contractor
Rodrick Plumbing & Heating has pinpointed the top five culprits when it comes to clogging drains.
1. Grease
– Many people think pouring grease down the drain is acceptable, especially if they follow it with hot water. True, the grease will go into your pipes as liquid, but when it cools it congeals and can create blockage.
2. Paper
– Paper towels, cigarettes and feminine hygiene products are not intended to be flushed. In fact, paper products other than toilet tissue do not break down inside your system.
3. Food
–Even with a garbage disposal, there are foods that should not go down the drain. Foods like rice and pasta actually expand with the water in the pipes potentially causing drainage problems. On the side of the kitchen sink without a disposal, Hall's Plumbing says it is especially important to avoid washing leftovers down drains because they do not break down over time.
4. Hair
– Hair clogs can rest in pipes, building up over time, so having a filter or strainer to catch stray hairs before they enter the drain system is important.
5. Bath salts
– While extremely popular, many of these products simply don’t dissolve. Over time they can actually collect in your drain causing problems.
