Your home’s plumbing system is complex and contains numerous components working in tandem to channel clean water and wastewater to fixtures and appliances and away from your house. Your home has drains running throughout the structure, each serving a specific purpose. Bathroom sinks, bathtubs, shower stalls, and toilets work by connecting to drains to remove waste and wastewater and carry them through your sewer line. A dishwasher, sink, and other items you have around your kitchen also rely on drains to ensure water flows in and out of your fixtures and appliances. Even a home’s basement, laundry room, and garage can feature floor drains to let the water drain instead of collecting and ruining woodwork and flooring. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Omaha has in-depth training and hands-on experience completing a versatile collection of plumbing services, including emergency and routine drain cleaning at houses with clogged drains.
When Should I Call a Professional Plumber?
Nearly every household experiences clogged drains and must clear them, but there are simple techniques to attempt to resolve obstructions before reaching out to Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Omaha. If your drain is slow, you can let the water drain mostly or entirely and then pour boiling water down it. This method is proven effective at clearing clogs composed of hardened grease and oil. Another method is removing obstructive material using a plunger and drain snake if boiling water doesn't work. After pulling the clog close to the drain opening by plunging your sink, you can pull out the clogging materials using a drain snake. If neither of these techniques works, you might have a clog that’s too deep to clear using do-it-yourself solutions. Your best choice is to call a professional plumber if your drain continues to back up or drains slowly.
Should I Perform Drain Cleaning Myself?
Draining cleaning is a plumbing service you should leave to professional technicians with training and experience. It might seem appealing to purchase do-it-yourself drain cleaning solutions online or at a hardware store, but these tools and chemicals can damage your pipes and other plumbing system components. Over time, this damage can result in costly repairs to resolve your pipe and drain issues. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Omaha uses the best equipment, tools, and industry-trusted plumbing solutions to perform this service. Overall, a plumbing technician will provide quick residential drain cleaning services without risking damage to your home’s plumbing.
