Your toilets, bathroom drains, and kitchen drains are used every day. Naturally, debris will build up in the drains over time, eventually causing a clog.

• Hair

How to Avoid Drain Clogs

With so many causes of clogged drains, by far the best way to fix them is to prevent them from being clogged in the first place. Never put anything down the drain that you shouldn't and avoid using harsh chemical cleaners that can end up worsening the problem. You can prevent bathroom sink drain clogs with regular cleaning and flushing with hot water. If simple plunging is not enough to clear the blockage, it is best to call a professional plumber to protect your plumbing.

Proactive maintenance is key to avoiding costly repairs. Regular inspections by a seasoned plumber can identify potential issues before they become severe clogs, helping maintain smooth plumbing operations and extending the lifespan of your drains.

Are Chemical Drain Cleaners Safe?

Many homeowners and commercial property owners are tempted to use corrosive chemical products that are sold to clear clogged drains. If the clog is located close to the opening of the drain, these products may work in the short term. However, the results seldom last because they fail to actually remove the source of the problem. Professional drain cleaning goes beyond treating just the symptoms of the problem, providing long-lasting results that are safer for your pipes.

It's important to remember that chemical drain cleaners can damage pipes, especially if they're used repeatedly. Over time, they can corrode the inner lining of your pipes, leading to leaks and potential water damage. Investing in professional cleaning ensures that your plumbing system remains intact and avoids the pitfalls of chemical shortcuts.

Steps You Can Take to Proactively Prevent the Need for Drain Cleaning

1. Install a hair-stopper on your shower drain - Our Los Angeles drain cleaning experts clean hair out of the shower drain regularly. Hair stoppers are cheap pieces of plastic that go right on top of your shower drain and will save your drains and wallet from the constant need for drain cleaning.

2. Put a lint trap on your washing machine's drain line - You probably don't consider where all the dirt and debris from your clothes go after your washing machine is done, but it's to your sewer line courtesy of the drain line. But if you don't have a lint-trap installed on your drain line, it will clog in due time.

3. Consider a food stopper if you don't have a garbage disposal - A food stopper is a metallic piece that physically covers your drain with small holes to let water through. You might need to clean the food stopper out to avoid water from pooling up, but that's easier than cleaning your drains.

4. Rinse your drains regularly - Just because we can't see our drains doesn't mean they don't require a thorough cleaning every once in a while too. Best practices say to use a combination of warm water and vinegar about once a month to avoid the need for regular drain cleaning.

5. Educate household members - Ensuring everyone in the household or office understands proper disposal and what shouldn't go down the drain can greatly reduce the risk of clogs.

How Often Should Sewer Lines Be Cleaned?

To ensure your sewer lines work the way they should, it’s highly recommended they be cleaned once every 18 to 22 months. This regular cleaning will help prevent buildup and drain blockages. Given the waste that moves through your home, you want to make sure your sewers are working properly. The last thing you want to deal with is a sewer leak or sewage backup.

Routine cleaning not only stops problems before they start but also keeps unpleasant odors and potential health hazards at bay. Our team employs the latest techniques, ensuring a thorough cleaning without any disruption to your daily life. It's a proactive measure that preserves the integrity of your plumbing system over time.

Our Los Angeles plumbers use cutting-edge technology, such as hydro jetting, to clean your drains. With this method, your sewers will be clean without harsh chemicals or unsightly trenches.
