Why Get Professional Drain Cleaning vs. DIY?
There are many small or shallow drain clogs that homeowners can clear themselves. But if you’re experiencing persistent slow drains or you have a blockage you can’t seem to clear, consider professional service.
Here are four reasons why professional drain cleaning is a better long-term solution than doing it yourself:
- Eliminates odors: While a store-bought chemical drain cleaner typically won’t get rid of bad odors, the technicians at Blue Bear can eliminate these smells (and clogs) for good.
- Use of specialized equipment: Professional plumbers have access to various drain cleaning tools and methods, including drain augers, snakes, and hydro jetting.
- Saves time, money, and stress: Opting for professional service from the beginning can often prevent minor drain issues from becoming a major plumbing headache. DIY cleaning methods, like chemical drain cleaners, often just make the problem worse.
- Helps reduce the likelihood of future clogs: Drain snakes, augers, and hydro jetting can eliminate clogs while also maintaining your pipes. However, DIY methods only provide short-term relief and have chemicals that can gradually destroy your pipes, leaving you more open to future drain clogs and other plumbing issues.
Our Drain Cleaning Services in the South Shore
At Blue Bear, we know that every household clog is unique. Ask our technicians about the following services in South Boston:
- Drain snaking: A snake is a cable-like tool with a corkscrew end to break blockages when rotated.
- Video camera inspections: In some cases, we may need to use an inline camera to inspect the blockage. Blue Bear also offers pipe repair and replacement services if the job requires more extensive work.
- Hydro jetting: This high-pressure cleaning technique can blast through even the toughest clogs without damaging your pipes.
How to Prevent Clogged Drains
Staying on top of your plumbing system will give your home the best drainage performance and reduce costly repairs. Here’s a list of everyday items that will cause blockages in your pipes when they go down your drain:
- Fats, oils, and grease
- Coffee grounds
- Hair and pet fur
- Eggshells
- Cotton balls and swabs
- Baby wipes and “flushable” wipes
- Pesticides and fertilizers
- Produce stickers
- Medications
To prevent clogged drains, consider several proactive measures. Start by placing screens or strainers in your sinks and tubs; these will catch hair, food particles, and other debris, preventing them from entering the drain. Instead of pouring grease down your drain, which can lead to blockages, allow it to cool and solidify before scraping it into the trash.
One of the most effective ways to maintain clear drains is through preventative cleaning. Regularly flush your drains with hot water and use a chemical drain cleaner every few months. With consistent care, you’ll observe a noticeable reduction in buildup over time.
