Better Drainage
You may not even notice that your sink or tub drains slower than they once did. It is easy to adjust to small changes that happen slowly over time. But, a drain cleaning will ensure that your sinks and tubs drain faster. And it also applies to your toilet drains and helps to prevent problems like overflowing or backflowing.
Increase Lifespan
Whether you realize it or not, your plumbing fixtures have a set lifespan. Sure, they are designed to last for decades, and if you have a newer home then you likely have pipes that are even less likely to corrode. But that doesn’t mean your plumbing will last forever.
However, when you take care of your drain pipes by investing in preventative care, you can help your plumbing to last longer. Even if you don’t have to replace your entire plumbing system because of damage, you may find yourself with persistent, frequent repairs without preventative care.
Prevent Bad Odors
Have you ever noticed a bad smell coming from one of your drains? It’s no surprise that mold and mildew thrive in dark and damp environments. Your plumbing fixtures provide just that. Plus, gunk that goes down your drain can create clogs that produce bad smells of their own.
While your plumbing does have built-in mechanisms to help prevent smells from flowing up into your home, it isn’t foolproof. But a drain cleaning can help prevent these bad smells by washing away mold spores and getting rid of any other odor-causing bacteria.
Avoid Damage
You may be reading this and thinking that you can just go buy a bottle of drain cleaner at your nearest hardware store and take preventative steps of your own. But, these chemicals are extremely harmful to your home and family, plus they can actually do more harm than good to your plumbing. Sure, they help to break down clogs, but they also break down your plumbing and can lead to pipes needing repair or replacement.
Prevent Clogs
Damage to your plumbing can make clogs more likely. Chemical drain cleaners can leave behind a residue that makes it easier for clogs to form, even though that seems counterproductive to their purpose. But clogs can also form whether or not you pour chemicals down the drain. And if tough clogs get a hold on your plumbing, they can be difficult to get rid of. When you invest in preventative drain cleaning services, you make clogs less likely.
