Your toilets, bathroom drains, and kitchen drains are used daily. Of course, over time, sediment builds up in pipes, eventually leading to a blockage. To avoid constant problems with blockages, professional pipe cleaning is necessary. Call Wisler Plumbing, Heating, Cooling and Electric to schedule an appointment with a professional plumber who can solve your clogged pipe problems in Roanoke, VA and the surrounding areas.
Clogged drains can result from a variety of causes, though the most common issues are:
With so many causes of clogged pipes, by far the best solution is to prevent them in the first place. Never throw anything down the drain that you shouldn’t, and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that could make the problem worse. You can prevent blockages in bathroom sink drains by cleaning them regularly and rinsing them with hot water. If a simple plunge isn’t enough to clear the clog, it’s best to contact a professional plumber to protect your pipes.
Many residential and commercial homeowners are tempted to use harsh chemicals to clear clogged drains. If the clog is near the drain opening, these products may work in the short term. However, the results are rarely permanent because they do not actually eliminate the cause of the problem. Professional drain cleaning goes beyond simply treating the problem symptoms and provides long-lasting, safer results for your pipes.
Install a Hair Catcher on Your Shower Drain – Our Roanoke drain cleaning experts regularly clean hair from the shower drain. Hair catchers are inexpensive plastic pieces that fit directly over your shower drain, saving your drains and your wallet from constant drain clogs.
Install a lint trap on your washing machine’s drain line – You probably don’t think about where all the dirt and debris from your clothes goes when your washing machine is empty, but it does. It is located in your sewer line, through the drain line. However, if you don’t have a lint trap installed in your drain line, it will become clogged over time.
Consider a food stopper if you don’t have a garbage disposal – A food stopper is a piece of metal that physically covers your drain with small holes to allow water to pass through. You may need to clear the food clog to prevent water from building up. However, this is easier than cleaning your pipes.
Flush your drains regularly – Just because we can’t see our pipes doesn’t mean they don’t need a thorough cleaning from time to time. Best practices recommend using a combination of warm water and vinegar about once a month to avoid regular drain cleaning.
To ensure that your sewer lines are functioning properly, it is highly recommended that you clean them every 18 to 22 months. This regular cleaning helps prevent buildup and blockages in the pipes.
