We Provide Residential Drain Cleaning Services
Toilet Drains
Clogged toilets are a common plumbing issue that can cause a significant inconvenience and frustration. They may become clogged due to a variety of issues, including flushing inappropriate items such as paper towels, baby wipes, or feminine hygiene products. Other factors that can contribute to clogs include improper installation, aging pipes, and sewer line damage. If your toilet is slow to drain or frequently clogs, contact RDI Plumbing Company to diagnose and address the issue.
Kitchen Drains
The kitchen drain is one of the most frequently used drains in a home, which means it can quickly become clogged with food particles, grease, oil, or other debris. You may notice an odor from the drain, and fruit flies might start appearing if food is building up in your pipes. If you’re experiencing slow draining or standing water in your kitchen sink, a clog is likely forming somewhere in your plumbing.
Shower and Bathtub Drains
Over time, shower and bathtub drains can become clogged due hair and soap residue accumulation. They may form a blockage in the drain, preventing water from flowing freely. Hard water minerals can also accumulate on the walls of the pipes and cause buildup, which can narrow the space for water flow.
Sewer Drain
The frequency of sewer drain cleaning can depend on various factors, such as the age of the plumbing system, the number of people using the system, and the types of materials that are being flushed down the drain. If you notice multiple clogged drains in your home, this may indicate a more serious issue. A clogged sewer drain requires professional attention.
Signs You Need Drain Cleaning
When might you need a drain cleaning service? Here are several signs you may need a drain cleaned:
- Slow drainage: Water takes longer than usual to drain from your sink, shower, or toilet.
- Water backup: Water regurgitates back up into your sink or bathtub when you flush your toilet or run the washing machine.
- Gurgling sounds: You hear gurgling sounds coming from your drain.
- Foul odors: If you notice unpleasant smells coming from your drain, it could be a sign of a buildup of debris and bacteria.
Importance of Regular Drain Cleaning
It is important to regularly clean drains to prevent blockages and keep your plumbing system working properly. Over time, debris such as hair, soap scum, food particles, and grease can accumulate in your drains, causing clogs, backups, and costly repairs. These clogs can lead to slow drainage, unpleasant odors, and even damage to your plumbing system. Regular drain cleaning can also help identify potential issues early on, allowing you to address them before they turn into major problems.
