Most homeowners tend to only think about their plumbing when it’s acting abnormally. Unfortunately, this can lead to unexpected clogs, backups, and leaks. Scheduling routine drain cleaning allows you to get ahead of these problems before they can disturb your normal home life. Here are just some of the benefits you can expect to achieve. 

Why Regular Drain Cleaning Is Beneficial for Your Home

1. Reduces the Occurrence of Blockages

Hair, soap scum, food particles, and dirt flow into your drains on a daily basis. Some of this debris will cling to the sides of your pipes and will become a magnet for future gunk that’s flushed down. Over time, this will inevitably lead to clogs that can cause backed up and slow emptying drains—unless you have a professional full clean your lines once or twice a year. 

2. Prevents Stinky Odors

When a blockage forms in your drains, it will begin to attract odor-causing bacteria. As the clog grows, these odors can emanate inside your home—especially if water takes a long time to empty out of a sink.

Additionally, if the blockage is at the sewer vent or pipe, a rotten egg smell will begin to appear throughout your home and possibly around your lawn. If there is a leaking pipe, mold can quickly start to grow in the region and produce a musty smell in that part of the dwelling. 

3. Avoids Costly Repairs

A drain cleaning contractor doesn’t just clear out plumbing blockages and remove drain debris. They also use modern video equipment to visually inspect the state of your lines. This way, they can catch minor damage and repair it before it spreads and results in extensive pipe failure and water waste.
