Importance of Professional Drain Cleaning 

When you notice signs that it is time for a drain cleaning, your first thought is probably to drive to your local store and buy over-the-counter products to fix the problem.

TYPES OF DRAIN CLEANING METHODS

Nobody enjoys having a backed-up or clogged drain. It causes slow draining or backups that can be annoying and cause messes of all kinds. When a clogged drain occurs, there are numerous methods of drain cleaning that you or a professional plumber can employ. These methods include the following:

Plunging: Plungers are a staple product in every bathroom in America. They help us clear minor clogs in our toilets, showers, and sinks. The suction produced by plungers has been effective at dislodging clogs for decades.

Drain Snakes: Also known as plumbing augers, drain snakes are long, flexible cables that can be inserted into drains to break up and remove clogs. They are particularly useful for more stubborn or deeper clogs.

Chemical Drain Cleaners: Store-bought chemical drain cleaners are useful for dissolving organic matter and clearing minor clogs. However, be cautious as these harsh chemicals can damage your plumbing system and are not always effective at clearing clogs.

Baking Soda and Vinegar: A mixture of baking soda and vinegar is a natural at-home remedy that any homeowner can try for clogs. These two cleaning ingredients are effective for clearing minor clogs through the foaming reaction caused by the two ingredients interacting.

Hydro Jetting: Hydro jetting is an effective drain cleaning option that plumbing contractors use to clear the most stubborn clogs. This method uses high-pressure water that breaks apart clogs and pushes them through your plumbing system. This is considered the most effective drain-cleaning method of all.

Enzyme Cleaners: Enzyme-based drain cleaners are a more gentle and eco-friendly option. These cleaners contain bacteria and enzymes that break down organic matter, helping to prevent clogs and maintain clean drains over time.

When deciding which drain cleaning method to use for your clogged drain, it is important to consider the severity and nature of the clog. If you are experiencing persistent or complex clogs, you should consult your local plumbing contractor to assess the situation and recommend the most appropriate drain cleaning method.
