Getting the Drains Flowing Again 

Every homeowner must deal with the occasional clogged drain. When the water begins to drain slower than normal or the drain becomes clogged, your first instinct may be to head out to the store for a drain clearing liquid. These products are often inadequate for clearing the clog. If they work at all, the results are usually temporary, and the clog soon returns. If you keep using the liquid, the chemicals can cause damage to the pipes. 

Professional drain cleaning is needed when you have: 

• A completely blocked drain 
• Frequent or recurring clogs 
• Unpleasant odors in the drains
• A slow drain 
• Gurgling noises in the drain 
• Clogs in more than one drain 

Drain clogs are generally caused by a gradual buildup  of debris in the drain. Some of the common causes include hair, food scraps, oil, grease, soap scum, detergents, and beauty products. If the clog isn’t cleared, it will continue to grow larger until the drain becomes completely blocked. Large clogs that are left untreated can result in leaks and damage to the pipe. 

When you notice a problem with a slow or clogged drain, don’t wait to call for professional drain cleaning in Wilson. Your plumber can inspect the drain to locate the cause of the clog and determine the best method for clearing it. A variety of tools and methods can be used, depending on the type of clog and where it is located. 

Once the clog is cleared, you can prevent future clogs by: 

• Keeping oil and grease out of the drain 
• Not overloading the garbage disposal 
• Using hair screens in showers and tubs 
• Running cold water when using the garbage disposal 
• Keeping coffee grounds and fibrous foods out of the drain 
• Running hot water in the drains weekly to clean them 
• Avoiding flushing anything other than toilet paper 

Drains can become clogged despite our best efforts. Calling for professional drain cleaning at the first sign of a slow drain can prevent larger clogs that may damage the pipe. A drain that has recurring clogs may benefit from regular drain cleaning as preventative maintenance.
