Over time, even if you take steps to protect your drains (using drain covers, allowing nothing but water down your sinks, etc.), they’ll likely slow or even clog. In the process, you might experience unpleasant smells, slow drainage, and an interruption of your routine. With regular drain cleanings, you’ll avoid drain disasters; the following benefits will have you contacting your local drain service. 

What Are the Benefits of Professional Drain Cleaning?

1. Specialized Tools

You might think you have all you need to resolve drainage issues at home. However, liquid drain cleaners are often only a temporary solution; the harsh chemicals will remove just enough of the clog for water to flow through.

If you use these products often, acidity in them might wear away your pipes and cause leaks. Further, they produce toxic odors that are harmful to you and your loved ones. With a professional drain cleaning, no harsh chemicals will be involved. Instead, they’ll rely on specialized tools.

 2. Prevent Clogs & Unpleasant Odors

Hair, soap, food waste, and mineral buildup can all cause clogged and stinky drains. While hair and food waste clogs are avoidable, other sources are harder to avoid.

For example, when you wash your hands with soap, the fat inside many brands combines with minerals in the water to create scum that sticks to your pipes. Similarly, mineral buildup in hard water can create insoluble masses, called scale, that will clog your drains. 

Whatever the source of your clog, as bacteria eat away at it, they produce foul odors. With regular drain cleanings, you’ll prevent buildups or slow drainage, and keep your drains odor-free.

3. Protect Floors & Walls

When drains get clogged, they’ll eventually overflow and cause damage to your home. For example, if your bathroom sink overflows, and you can’t stop it, it can cause water damage to your walls and seep into your bathroom tiles, eroding the plaster.

Further, if this happens repeatedly, you might create the perfect environment for mold growth. If you or loved ones suffer from allergies, this can lead to uncomfortable symptoms. With regular drain cleanings, you can save yourself the expense of repairing tiles and walls and removing mold.
