How often do you think about your drains? Not too often, we imagine—at least until one of them gets clogged and you need to call a technician to come to your home and clean it out.
At Best Flow Sewer and Drain, we have served our neighbors in Suffolk County for more than three decades to become the best drain cleaning company in the area. Our experienced service professionals use the latest technology to solve our customers’ problems without costing them too much money.
Here, we share a guide about what causes problems and what to expect during a service visit.
Why Do Drains Fail?
The most common reason drains fail is that they get clogged. Kitchen drains can gradually fill with food particles, fats, grease, and even soap. Bathroom drains get blocked with soaps, as well, while also having to contend with hair, toothpaste, and stray bits of cotton or tissue. All these things cause drainage to slow down and eventually stop altogether. And that causes a big mess!
Servicing your drains should be a regular part of your home maintenance routine to keep the pipes flowing. When things do go wrong, a trained service technician can get your drain unblocked and water flowing quickly, allowing you to focus on the more exciting things in life.
Here is What to Expect During a Drain-Cleaning Service Call
First, What Not to Expect
Professional drain cleaning services won’t use the sort of drain-cleaning chemicals you buy at the local hardware shop to do-it-yourself. These can corrode your pipes and shorten the life of your plumbing. Saving money in the short-term this way can cost you later. That’s why it’s best to hire a professional.
How Professional Drain Cleaners Do The Job Properly
Video Cameras
We can do a thorough inspection of your drain using video technology, which can see inside the pipes to assess the best possible way to deal with cleaning and other issues. Here, cameras attached to fiber-optic cables travel through the piping and send pictures back to monitors.
This information allows our service technician to fully understand what is going on with your plumbing and specify areas that need to be cleaned or treated in other ways.
Drain Augers
If the blockage is a simple one, the maintenance specialist can use a drain auger, which you might know as a drain snake, to work its way through the drain and clean it. The auger can be manual or motorized, and it can deal with many common obstructions within the drainage system. It should always be used by a professional, though, because a badly handled auger can do your pipes more damage than good.
Hydro-Jet
A more powerful tool that professional drain cleaners use for major blockages is the hydro-jet. This motorized device sends a high-pressure jet of water through the drain pipes. The strength of the jet of water can clean the pipes of almost any kind of blockage.
An added benefit of this type of cleaning is that it leaves pipes so clean it is difficult for new blockages to get a foot-hold. Hydro-jet-cleaned pipes stay clean a lot longer than those cleaned using other methods.
Final Video Tour
Many professional drain cleaners will take another video tour of your pipes after treating them, just to make sure they have resolved all the issues.
As you can see, getting a professional drain cleaning service is for more than just emergencies. Having your system tended by people who know what they are doing can not only keep things flowing the way you like them, but it can extend the life of your pipes and save you the cost of significant repairs. Look after your drains, and they will look after you!
