Clogged drains can do thousands of dollars’ worth of damage to your home. When there is a clog, water can’t flow through. This means water builds up. Eventually, that built-up water has to go somewhere, and it may have to burst a pipe to get to where it wants to go.
Unfortunately, you don’t always know you have a clogged drain until you see damage done to the floor, walls, or ceiling. Moreover, clogged drains can do more than cause structural damage to your house. They can cause health problems too. Drains get clogged because of buildup. That buildup is a haven for icky things.
Store-bought products may or may not be useful in getting rid of clogs, but they do contain chemicals. Professional drain cleaning services use non-chemical tools and advanced technology to remove clogs. Getting a professional drain cleaning, especially as a part of routine maintenance, can save you a lot of money. Plus, you’re not wasting time trying to do it all yourself.
Prevent Expensive Repairs
Clogged drains are sometimes easy to spot while at other times they are silently causing damage without you even knowing a pipe has burst. Because you can’t always see the flooding caused by a clogged drain when it starts, you won’t know you have a problem until you see a giant wet spot on the floor. That’s when you find out how bad the leak is – and how much it will cost to fix.
Fight Illness
Over time, hair, food particles, minerals, grease, saliva, and other waste build up, layer upon layer, and clog the drain. The water, dampness, and waste create a breeding ground for mold and bacteria. Mold can cause symptoms that resemble a cold or the flu. Some of the bacteria found in drains include E. coli, salmonella, and staphylococcus.
Keep Bugs Out of Your Drain
The stuff in the drain lines that causes clogs has all the necessary ingredients to attract bugs. Some of the bugs clogged drains like to attract are ants, cockroaches, drain flies, fruit flies, and silverfish.
Keep Out the Stink
When things build up in the pipes, the sink smells. It is especially noticeable in smaller homes. No matter how much money you spend on air fresheners, nothing but cleaning the drain will get rid of the stink.
Increase the Lifespan of Your Drain Pipes
Clogs wear pipes down. Once that happens, they can easily crack or break.
