Clogged drains are one of the most common household plumbing concerns. Most people don’t have a particular need for drain cleaning until they discover that there’s a blockage, but there are several reasons to consider this service as a preventive measure. Here are three benefits to keep in mind.

What Are the Advantages of Drain Cleaning?

1. Reduce Clogs

Most of the time, a blockage doesn’t cause a serious problem until it’s severe. At that point, water is slow to drain or may not drain at all. Waste and debris can collect in the sink, bathtub, or basement and cause an unsightly and unsanitary mess. Cleaning the drain eliminates the blockage right away. However, it’s just as beneficial to schedule regular service. Doing so will reduce the odds of developing stubborn hair and soap clogs in the bathroom, tree root clogs in the main line, and will keep your kitchen drains free of the grease and food waste that collect daily.

2. Improve Health

Although there are many over-the-counter products and devices designed to clear the drains, they generally do more harm than good to the plumbing system. Chemical drain openers are often very harsh, especially on old pipes and may even damage your septic system if you have one. Consider drain cleaning as a form of regular maintenance. It’s an easy way to protect the health of your pipes, promote clean drainage, and prevent damage to the pipes.

3. Eliminate Odors

All clogged drains are likely to produce harsh odors over time. Sometimes it’s the strong scent that first alerts homeowners to a problem, which arises when bacteria settles into the pipes or a venting system not working properly. King’s Sanitary Service’s drain cleaning professionals will determine if that’s the issue, if there’s a leak somewhere in the pipes, or if sewer gas is coming up through the drain.
