Why A Drain Cleaning Service is Better Then DIY

Most homeowners give little thought to their plumbing until a problem happens. If you do not have regular maintenance like you would with your car, you will experience much bigger problems down the road. Like a vehicle, your plumbing system must be kept clean so it can function properly. Your plumbing intake pipes do not pose a problem since they only carry clean water, however your drain pipes and sewers will be extremely dirty. If left untreated, dirty pipes can cause a complete sewer break that will require much more money and time to fix. You can avoid potential future problems by getting your drains cleaned each year by a professional local plumber.

You may not be aware that your pipes are dirty since we do not see them, but a top indicator that you may have a problem is the smell. Fumes from these pipes can sometime come up through the drains and leave the house smelling like a sewer. Another concern are the germs, molds, and bacteria that your dirty pipes can harbor. These microorganisms come with serious health hazards and can cause a number of illnesses to you and your loved ones.

Homeowners can take preventative measure to keep your drain pipes relatively clean. Be careful of using harsh chemicals that line the aisle at your store, as these chemicals can do more harm than good as they have caustic ingredients that can actually erode and damage your piping system. They can also cause rashes on skin contact and are very harmful to the environment.

The best way, however, to keep your drains clean is to call your RooterNOW® local plumber and ask for a drain cleaning service. More than just cleaning your drain, your RooterNOW® local plumber can inspect your plumbing and piping systems alerting you to possible future problems. Your RooterNOW® local plumber will clean your clogged drain without using environmentally harmful chemicals with the use of specialized equipment such as high pressure jet systems and special millers.

Aside from cleaning drain pipes, a drain cleaning service can also alert you of other possible problems in your piping system like a leaking pipe where debris can enter and contaminate your drinking water. They can also fix these leaky pipes with simple tools. These professionals can also help you decide if you need to install new sewer connections or new sewage tanks.

While you can always clean the drain yourself, remember that a professional drain cleaning service is still the best way to keep your plumbing system clean and prevent future problems.
