While many homeowners undertake DIY home improvement projects, it’s imperative to hire professionals for certain tasks, such as plumbing and drain cleaning. You may want to use over-the-counter products to unclog drains; however, some cleaners have toxic chemicals that can corrode your pipes. Below are three reasons why it’s essential to hire a professional to clean your drain. 

Why You Should Hire a Professional For Drain Cleaning 

1. Sewage Water Backup

Rather than clearing a sewer line clog yourself, call a drain cleaning expert, as the source of this clog could indicate larger issues. Whether it’s clogged from feminine hygiene products, paper products, or even a tree root growing into your pipe, raw sewage can seep back up through the pipes and into your drains. Listen for gurgling sounds and watch out for water backups near the drains.  A professional can use a sewer camera to see what the issue is and find the best solution.

2. Water Drains Slowly

The most common sign that you need a drain cleaning is when your water drains slowly. This is common in showers and bathroom sinks that don’t have a guard to catch loose hair and soap remnants. Your drains become clogged with waste and increasingly block the flow of water in your pipes. When this happens, a simple rooter service can clear your drain so the water flows quickly again.

3. Foul Odor

If you notice a foul stench around your home, you probably have a clogged drain. You can avoid clogging your drains by refraining from putting food such as coffee grounds, egg shells, or grease down your kitchen drain. If you do have a clogged drain that is starting to smell, professional drain cleaning can use water jetting to remove the clog without damaging your pipes.
