When it comes to maintaining homes and businesses, plumbing issues are usually overlooked until there is a problem. Most people will only contact a plumber once they have a clogged or slow drain, a leak, or other problem. However, calling your local plumbing service for regular drain cleaning is essential. Read on to learn how this preventative care can save you time, money, and stress.

Save Money

Hiring a professional plumbing service to clean your drains can save you money in several ways. You'll save money on utility bills by improving water flow and increasing water efficiency. When you prevent clogs, you won't have to pay the high cost of emergency plumbing services. Finally, you'll prolong the lifespan of your pipes, saving you money on future repairs.

Prevent Clogs

According to Kitchen Infinity, one in 10 Americans required plumbing services in the past year. Many of these service calls were for clogged drains. Clogs occur when food, hair, or other things slowly build up in your drain. As this continues, the drain flow deteriorates and eventually stops. This can lead to poor water pressure in your kitchen sink or shower, making something as simple as washing your hair frustrating. This can easily be prevented with annual drain cleaning services.

Prevent Foul Odors

Long before a clog happens, you'll notice a foul odor. This can occur anywhere in the house but it's most common in the kitchen where food goes down the drain. Over time, the food particles clinging to the side of the pipe begin to mold, emitting a horrid odor that impacts your air quality. Ensuring your drains are clear prevents this.

Protect Your Pipes

Drain cleaning can help protect your home from extreme damage. Clogged pipes can easily burst, resulting in costly pipe replacements. Pipes bursting can cause a significant amount of water damage, resulting in you having to replace the floors, ceiling, and possibly the walls. When you don't have your drains cleaned, you're also more likely to get leaks.
