Taking advantage of drain maintenance services is one of the best ways to save time and money when it comes to your home’s plumbing system. This routine service involves removing debris, grease buildup, and mineral deposits from your drain pipes while checking for signs of damage. This allows your water to flow freely and helps you avoid many of the headaches that come with emergency issues.

What’s Included in Routine Drain Maintenance?

The first thing we’ll do when we arrive at your home is discuss any problems you may be experiencing. You can tell us about any slow drains in your home or any other drainage issues you notice. We’ll then do a visual inspection of your drains. Not all problems are obvious. If necessary, our team can use a video pipe inspection to find and determine the severity of any pipe damage, clogs, or root intrusions that are deep inside your plumbing system.

Most drain problems are the result of clogs. When it comes to blockages, we can use a drain auger to break up and remove small clogs. For more severe ones, we can utilize our hydro-jetting service. This procedure uses a high-pressure jet of water to clear out any debris and clean the walls of your pipes thoroughly. We’ll ensure that we remove all clogs and debris that we dislodge during these processes. We wrap up with a final inspection to make sure the drain is clear and that the water flows properly.

The Importance of Regular Drain Maintenance

Our drain maintenance will keep your drain in good condition and help maintain the functionality of your home’s plumbing system. When you schedule this service, you’ll enjoy the following time and money-saving benefits.

Prevent Expensive Repairs

Over time, soap, hair, food particles, and grease can clog your drains even if you’re very careful about what goes down the drain. These materials slowly build up on the walls of your pipes, which eventually creates blockages. These blockages can result in leaks and pipe damage. Severe clogs will cause water to back up into your sinks, tubs, and showers. This can cause flooding within your home. Repairing water damage from flooding is extremely expensive. Flooding from clogs also brings your plumbing system to a complete standstill. Routine drain maintenance is much more affordable and saves you the misfortune of wasting time scheduling cleanup and repairs while waiting for us to restore your plumbing system.

Improve Drain Efficiency

Routine drain maintenance increases your drain’s efficiency. Water flows quickly and smoothly through your pipes when they’re clean and don’t have any obstructions. This increases your plumbing system’s efficiency while allowing you to avoid excessive wear and tear on your drain pipes. An efficient drainage system results in fewer costly repairs and helps extend the lifespan of the pipes. You’ll be able to save time and money on repairs and replacements.

Avoid Emergency Plumbing Issues

Emergency plumbing services typically cost more than your average repairs. A drain that has a clog can quickly develop into an emergency when you least expect it. By scheduling routine drain maintenance, you’ll avoid these situations and the costly emergency repair service that comes with them. During our drain maintenance visit, we will locate and take care of potential problems before they have a chance to become an emergency.

Create a Healthy Environment

Drain blockages lead to unsanitary conditions in your home. Slow drains and standing water encourage bacteria and mold growth, which poses a health risk to you and your family. Routine drain maintenance helps you create a clean and healthy environment in your house by preventing these problems. If your home is healthier, you can enjoy a better quality of life.

Spot Problems Early On

As your drain pipes age, they can experience all kinds of problems. Our routine drain maintenance allows us to find corrosion before there is damage to the entire system. We look for warping and discoloration, which are warning signs. When we catch corrosion early enough, we only need to replace a small section of pipe rather than the whole system.

During the inspection, our team also looks for any cracks or misalignment in the pipes. With the proper repairs, we can eliminate these issues and maintain your system’s integrity. This means that you’ll avoid wasting time and money on a full replacement when these issues become major problems.

High Property Values

When you care for your plumbing system properly, you add value to your home. Potential buyers don’t want to find plumbing issues in the home they’re looking at. When you have documentation to prove a history of routine drain maintenance, you have an excellent selling point. Routine drain maintenance ensures the functionality and efficiency of your plumbing system while protecting your home’s market value. Think of it as a long-term investment that yields a high return when you do decide to sell your home.

Lower Utility Bills

A functional and efficient drainage system can lower your utility bills. When there’s a clog in your drain, your plumbing system has to work extra hard to keep the water and waste moving. This can increase the amount of water you use, which results in a high water bill. Routine drain maintenance keeps your plumbing system working efficiently so that you can save money on those utility bills.

A Drain Maintenance Schedule

You’ll save time and money with a drain maintenance schedule. To create this schedule, you need to think about your drain usage. For example, your kitchen and main bathroom drains experience heavy usage. We recommend scheduling our routine drain maintenance at least once a year for these rooms. In between these visits, use strainers to trap debris before it has a chance to enter your drains. Running hot water after using your drains is also helpful.

Watch what goes down your drains. Avoid rinsing fats and oils down your kitchen drain and never flush anything but toilet paper in the bathroom. Keep drain stoppers clean, and avoid chemical drain cleaners that can damage your pipes. If necessary, you can use enzymatic drain cleaners to break down organic materials without harming the pipes. Together, we can keep your drains clean and effective to save you time and money.
