Common Causes of Clogging
Clogged drains are a real annoyance and have adverse effects on your maintenance expenses. The truth is that whether a drain is mildly or severely clogged, it is preventable, and the first step to prevent it is by knowing its cause.
Common causes of clogged drains:
SOAP: One of the ingredients of soap is fat or grease. These ingredients combine with the minerals in water, resulting in a soap scrum that clogs pipes.
HAIR: Hair is a major cause of drain clogs because it easily binds with grease, resulting in a pretty significant hairball blocking your drains.
MINERAL BUILD UP: Insoluble masses can result from a dissolution of minerals in hard water, which can easily clog your drains.
Various Methods of Drain Cleaning
The term “drain cleaning” has unfortunately developed a link to “drain cleaners,” those plastic bottles of toxic, acidic chemicals on grocery store shelves between the laundry detergent and the insecticides. Using this sort of caustic agent is a bit like trying to clean the leaves off your driveway by blasting the drive with a flamethrower: sure, you’ll get rid of all the unwanted debris, but you can seriously damage the surface and may seriously injure yourself.
Drain cleaning requires professionals who use methods that not only effectively cleanse drains and pipes, but safely cleanse them, leaving behind zero toxic residues and protecting the interior of the plumbing. For this level of expert drain cleaning, call us at (702) 605-6408.
Some of the ways that professional drain cleaners handle their job:
Hydro-Jetting:
A hydro-jetter is a motorized device that sends hot, high-pressure water through a hose and out a small nozzle. When the hose is fed down into a drain, the scalding blasts of water can break through clogs and clear away all contaminants like grease and oil from the interior of a pipe. This is one of the most thorough ways of cleaning drain pipes, making it harder for debris to return. Because of the dangers of high-pressure water (most hydro-jetters blast out water at 7,000 psi), only professionals should do hydro-jetting.
Motorized drain snakes:
Drain snakes, a.k.a. drain augers, are available commercially in manual models. A motorized, pro-grade drain snake is a more thorough option. Drain snakes operate like long corkscrews: a coil of wire goes down into a drainpipe, bores into clogs and blockage, and then draws them up or breaks them apart. A motorized drain snake can handle almost any obstruction with the right technician operating it.
Video Camera Pipe Inspection:
Cleaning out pipes often requires plumbers to know exactly what they are up against. The only way to find that out without the disruption of accessing buried and hidden pipes is with video pipe inspection. This equipment consists of a miniaturized camera and LED light mounted on the end of a fiber-optic cable. Once sent down a drainpipe, the camera returns a video feed to a monitor so a plumber can pinpoint areas that need cleaning, and what sort of cleaning will do the job.
