Periodically you should have your drains cleaned as part of maintaining your property’s plumbing system. Over time drains fill up with soap, hair, oil, grease, or other debris that can result in clogs.

The cause of a drain clog often varies with its location. Hair is often the culprit in shower or bathroom sink drains. Food and cooking grease usually clogs kitchen sinks. Sewer lines are usually blocked by roots that have grown into the pipes underground. Then there are the various toys and other foreign objects that make their way into drains.

There are three ways to clean drains. The first, chemical drain cleaner, is often used by homeowners but not recommended by professionals because it can damage your pipes. The second is a drain snake, which is the professional plumber’s first line of defense because of its effectiveness. The third method is hydro jetting, where a machine pushes extremely high pressure water through your pipes. It’s especially effective on grease clogs, foreign objects, and lines with multiple clogs.
