DRAIN CLEANING

With clogged drains, it can be especially tricky to determine whether household
cleaners will resolve your problem or whether you should seek professional
plumbing assistance. Since the buildup from these stoppages can cause damage to
your entire plumbing system if left to accumulate, it is best to contact our
certified drain cleaning team for serious treatment services.



Bob Turner Plumbing has experienced technicians to pinpoint and resolve your
clogged drains and plumbing issues. We’re always available to handle your
toughest drain stoppage emergencies. Get in touch with our plumbing company to
relieve your clogged drain dilemmas. We are available all the time for
emergencies and routine calls.


COMMON CAUSES OF CLOGGED DRAINS

Knowing why clogged drains occur can help you avoid practices that lead to
stoppages resulting in more costly drainage problems down the line. For example,
a simple activity such as brushing hair over the sink can lead to hair clogging
drains and backing up normal water flow.



The following are some common causes of clogged drains to watch out for:

 * Toilet clogs result when you flush things like Q-tips and diaper wipes, which
   do not dissolve

 * Inadequate air venting obstructs waste and water drainage in your pipes

 * The accumulation of unbreakable food particles, cooking oil, and soap scum
   into the drain pipe lead to clogged kitchen sink drains

 * When dirt, hair, and skin flakes meld together with soap scum, bathroom sink
   drains clog up




THE HAZARDS OF CHEMICAL DRAIN CLEANERS

No one likes a clogged drain. At best, they cause a great inconvenience as you
wait for water to drain; at worst, they could flood your home and impact the
rest of your system. When you notice a clogged drain, it can be very tempting to
immediately go out to your grocery store and buy a commercial drain cleaner.
Such cleaners tend to advertise with reliable sounding titles like “Max Power”
or “Proven Strength.”

 

Unfortunately, however, these drain cleaners are usually only effective in the
short run, and worst of all, they can damage or even destroy your plumbing
system. The chemicals in these cleaners are very harsh and corrosive to pipes.
When the residue from the cleaners mix, they can also cause dangerous chemical
reactions, resulting in toxic gas or water residue that can come back up the
pipes and endanger the health of you and your household. Never trust a
commercial drain cleaner, but immediately contact one of our expert plumbers to
safely solve your plumbing needs with efficient and effective methods.




WHAT NOT TO PUT DOWN YOUR GARBAGE DISPOSAL

While your garbage disposal is an invaluable tool for your kitchen, it's not
designed to handle any type of food waste you may throw down it. It's always
best to dump most things in your garbage, but some of the most common causes of
broken garbage disposals include:

 * Egg Shells

 * Coffee Grounds

 * Banana Peels

 * Stringy Vegetable Peels (asparagus, potato, celery lettuce)

 * Animal Bones

 * Grease

 * Rice

 * Pasta

 * Fruit Pits or Seeds




TIPS TO KEEP YOUR DRAINS FROM GETTING CLOGGED

 * Put a hair trap on your shower drain: Our team gets called into homes to take
   hair out of the shower drain all the time. These hair stoppers are cheap
   pieces of plastic that will save your wallet and drains from the constant
   need for drain cleaning.

 * Consider a lint-trap on your washing machine: When your washing machine is
   done washing, all that dirt and debris doesn't just disappear. What will
   happen over time is they'll clog your machine's drain line and your washing
   machine will have excess water.

 * Rinse your drains: A lot of people simply don't clean their drains because
   they cannot see them. But for best results use a combination of warm water
   and vinegar.

 * Collect cooking oils and grease in a used milk carton: While it may be easy
   to rinse your oils and grease down the drain, it's best to dispose of them in
   the trash because they'll latch onto your pipes and cause all sorts of
   blockages.

 * Don't put the following food items down your garbage disposal: Coffee
   grounds, pasta, celery, rice, and egg shells should all be disposed of in the
   trash as opposed to your garbage disposal.
