Benefits of a Summer Drain Cleaning

Is your drain flowing smoothly?

 

It’s summer time and the living is supposed to be easier. However, it can wreak havoc on your drains. Summer is the most opportune time to have your drains cleaned professionally, while the weather is nice and cooperating on your terms. Left unattended drains can create plumbing problems that are difficult to tackle. Licensed plumbers are the only people to consider to clear drains.

One of the main culprits to problem drains is hard water. This is because the minerals collect in the pipes and cause calcium and other build up, that is harder to remove. Many people have traps on the opening of their drains to collect hair, but hair entanglement is another issue that needs to be addressed because it interrupts the water flow.

Tree greenery is beautiful in summer and the shade it provides against the sun is comforting. The hot summer climate causes a growth spurt among trees and other plants and their roots tend to spread more during this time. Watch out for tree roots that infiltrate your drains. Getting a professional plumber to remove roots from the drainage is necessary to prevent clogging of your plumbing system.

A more common drain blocker is cooking grease. Some cooks know how to whirl up the dishes that receive compliments well after the meals are consumed. If the grease gets into your sink, it is doomed to disaster. Never pour the grease into your drain. Solid grease is very difficult on the drain and extremely difficult to clear from the drain.

Ordinary elbow grease will only rid your drain of debris temporarily. Professional plumbers have the proper equipment that will rid the drain of clogs as well as clean the pipes of dirt and soap scum that hamper the flow of the drain. Contacting a professional plumber to clear your drains this summer will relieve any worries you have about free flowing drains.
