Clogged Drains? Drain Cleaning Services Save Time

If you´ve noticed water draining more and more slowly or backing up, and the plunger doesn´t work, it may be time to call a drain cleaning service. For the do-it-yourselfer, there are steps you can take first, but for severely clogged drains or drains that may have clogging due to root growth, the only effective means to combat the problem is to call a professional.

Avoiding drain problems

Hot water with detergent will flush out most drains if used regularly. The dishwasher, sink, and washer all help if you use hot water on a regular basis.

In addition, to prevent problems, avoid the following:

• Don´t grind corn husks, corn cobs, celery, coffee grounds, potato peelings, noodles or other starchy foods in the garbage disposal. The fiber builds up quickly to clog drains and starchy foods turn into a paste that can quickly line the walls of the pipes.
• Never pour grease down the drain.
• Use hot soapy water to clean greasy dishes.
• Never pour paint or other chemicals down the drain.
