Clear Drain Cleaning
Using the correct drain cleaning methods can keep your plumbing system healthy and help you avoid costly clogs. You can do your part by avoiding pouring fats, oils, grease, food scraps and other waste down the drain or garbage disposal. You should also regularly use drain snaking and Hydro jetting techniques to clear out the build-up of soap scum, hair and other items that can lead to drain clogs.
Chemical drain cleaners, available in liquid or packet form, are designed to break down organic materials that accumulate in drain clogs. They typically work by creating a reaction that breaks down and dissolves organic matter, such as hair, toilet paper, soap scum, etc. These products can be caustic to pipes and are best used as a last resort or for occasional preventive maintenance.
The Dangers of Ignoring Slow Drains in Your Home
Enzyme drain cleaners, on the other hand, are not caustic and instead work through a natural enzymatic process that decomposes organic materials into smaller molecules that can be flushed away easily. These products are safe for septic systems and can be used to maintain a healthy drain system or to prevent minor clogs from developing.
If you’ve been struggling with a clogged drain, it might be time to call in professional help. A plumber can use a drain auger, which is similar to a snake but works much deeper in the pipe and can be used to manually pull apart stubborn, sluggish clogs. For a more thorough approach, professional plumbers use hydro jetting. This process uses high-powered water jets that scours the inside of your pipes, leaving them so clean that they’re unlikely to clog again.
