Drain Cleaning in Spring

There is a lot of sense in having your drains cleaning in spring. Drain cleaning in spring season is an essential part of the maintenance of a home or business. Drains need to be cleaned to maintain a healthy and free-flowing plumbing system.

Catch Problems

The advantages of cleaning drains every few springs is enormous. Tree roots start growing into drain lines. It is important to cut these off when they first start. Once they have found the nutrient rich environment of a drain line, roots grow into them and expand creating large holes in the line and blocking the flow. If the block is bad enough, it may cause the line to burst at some time bringing an expensive repair bill. Breaking the roots causes the tree to seek elsewhere for its nutrients.

At the same time it is imperative that you have your licensed plumber clean the drains of you sinks, bathtubs, and showers. Clogs of hair build from small to large over time causing drainage problems inside the house. Grease buildup in the kitchen needs to be cleaned. No matter how careful you are, grease will always coagulate in the kitchen sink drain. You may not be able to see it, but you can smell it.

Germs and Bacteria

Noxious fumes are a health hazard, not only for your home, but for the whole community. Bacteria lies in those fumes. Bacteria that can cause serious health issues. A proper cleaning by a licensed plumber will assure you that your pipes will not harbor those dangerous germs and bacteria that can be so damaging to a person’s body.

Coordinating your time of cleaning for the spring takes care of the major draining issue of a possible root clog. To perform the other drain cleanings at the same time guarantees that you have cleaned the whole residence. Cleaning the inside drains first makes sense because some debris will fall into the sewer line. That debris will be removed when cleaning the mainline of roots.
