Everyone wants to save money, but sometimes the “cheaper” DIY fixes tend to be more costly in the long run. Take drain cleaning, for example. It might seem like a simple process, but you might be surprised at the amount of equipment and expertise it takes to do a professional drain cleaning.
The Tools of an Experienced Drain Cleaning Company
When you see expert drain cleaning services in action, you’ll understand why they clean as well as they do. Professionals use the following equipment:
- Hand or motor-driven drain snakes for removing stubborn blockages
- CO2 drain guns to break up debris
- Water jets to eliminate caked-on grease
- Air guns with fine pressure adjustments to blast clogs without harming pipes
- Sewer flush bags for flushing especially difficult clogs
These pieces of equipment are not something the average person will have access to or be able to purchase without spending a surprising amount of money. DIY methods generally use plungers, mostly unsuitable tools, and relatively low-strength cleaners.
Professional Drain Cleaning Results
What can you expect when you call in experienced techs with professional-level equipment?
Elimination of Awful Odors
The source of those disgusting smells coming from your drain is a buildup of mold and bacteria. Not only do they cause terrible odors, but they can be a genuine health hazard for people with asthma and respiratory issues.
Corrosion and Wear Prevention
Professional drain cleaning is extremely thorough, eliminating all substances that could rust pipes, wear down your plumbing, and cause pressure buildups. Additionally, the high level of professional cleaning helps prevent future buildups.
Improved Water Flow
Deep clogs can be all but impossible for DIY methods to clear, but experienced cleaners can reach them with the right tools. Improving your water flow lets appliances such as your washing machine and dishwasher operate more efficiently. Perhaps the most noticeable benefit is that you won’t have painfully slow drains anymore!
Discovery of Leaks
Water damage is expensive to fix, so it pays to prevent and detect leaks. Regular cleanings can expose small leaks before they become especially problematic. This helps avoid issues such as mold growth, weakened drywall, or warping floorboards.
Fewer Emergency Calls
When you go with that DIY solution that saves you money, it’s more than likely that your drain will clog again in the near future. Even worse, your plumbing could get seriously damaged. After a professional cleaning, you can expect your pipes to be in solid shape with zero blockages, reducing the chances that you’ll have to call for emergency plumbing services.
Accurate Diagnoses
Experienced plumbers can recognize problems quickly and accurately. They know where to look for common issues and how to address them. Plumbers also must adhere to strict safety standards and plumbing codes, protecting you and your home from the ramifications of a less-than-thorough DIY job.
