The Purpose of Emergency Drain Cleaning
Drained pipes can be a serious problem, especially during extreme weather conditions or when using chemicals. In such cases, emergency drain cleaning is necessary to restore water flow and prevent further damage.
The Common Causes of Drained Pipes
- Tree roots growing into the pipes from nearby trees can cause blockages and slow down water flow.
- Soap scum, grease, and other household substances can accumulate in drains and cause clogs.
- Bacterial growth in septic systems can lead to unpleasant odors and backups.
- Aerated drain pipes can become clogged with debris or sediment over time.
How Emergency Drain Cleaning Works
When a pipe becomes drained, it's usually due to one of the following reasons:
- A blockage or clog in the pipe causes water to back up.
- Bacteria or other microorganisms grow in the pipe and produce gases that cause pressure buildup.
- Drain snake or plumber's auger is used to manually remove the blockage or debris.
