Everyone has experienced the annoyance of a blocked drain at least once in their life, so you surely know what a pain it is to have slow or blocked drains in your home. A visit from a professional plumber can clear that problem up quickly and easily, but are drain blockages something you should be fixing, or something you can be preventing?
You can have your drains cleaned regularly by a professional team like Schuler Service, and there are a lot of benefits that this can provide to you! Considering taking a more proactive approach to your plumbing maintenance? Here’s what you need to know!
Reduced Blockages
The first and most impactful upside to having your drains regularly cleaned is that overflows, slow drains, and blockages can become basically a thing of the past! Getting buildup in your drains is inevitable, and the problem only leads to serious clogs if left untreated. By having your drains cleaned on a regular basis, you can eliminate this buildup before it has a chance to slow down your sinks and tubs!
Reduced Odors
The smell of a clogged drain is one that you never forget, and one that you never want to have in your home if you can help it. Even a dry, empty drain can smell awful if there’s a major clog festering away somewhere down in the pipes. Having your drains cleaned a few times throughout the year prevents these smells from having a place to form and live, keeping your drains odorless and fresh.
Safer Plumbing
Every homeowner has heard that commercially available chemical drain cleaners are something that should be avoided, and yet so many people still use them. The reason that expert plumbers recommend against drain cleaners like these is because the way they clear a clog is actually damaging to your pipes! The heat and chemical reaction of the drain cleaner can wear on your plumbing and shorten its lifespan, potentially leading to leaks and cracks that will only end up causing you more problems down the line. By regularly getting your drains professionally cleaned, you eliminate the need for these products altogether, keeping the clogs at bay and keeping your plumbing safe and in good condition!
Quiet Pipes
Plumbing that’s working properly is almost always quiet– if you’re noticing loud sounds coming from anywhere in your system, it’s a sign that something is wrong. Clogged and dirty drains can sometimes be a source of noise in your house, leading to squeaking or cracking that’s audible through the walls. By cleaning your pipes on a regular basis, you reduce the pressure on the lines, open up the passageways needed for water to flow smoothly and quietly, and reduce the noise in your home!
These are just a few of the many benefits that regular drain cleaning can offer you. If you’re interested in learning more about this service, contact the team at Schuler today! We’re always happy to help.
