How to Never Give a Clog a Chance to Wreck Your Home
- There is no doubt that if a buildup of waste takes up too much space in your drainage, disaster can immediately follow. Gunks, water and other types of waste will never have a chance to pass through but end up getting caught up on the buildup too, and create much bigger clogs. With proper tools and equipment, plus skills, clogs are relatively easy peasy to fix, but avoiding them can be a challenge. However, if you get yourself into doing the things below, you will save yourself from damages and costly repair.
How to Never Give a Clog a Chance to Wreck Your Home
- Get those tree roots out of your property – You may enjoy the relaxing feeling when you look at the trees in your front yard, but that huge plant does not necessarily have a soppy effect on your sewer. Trees, because of their nature, normally grow toward sewer lines as they are the perfect sources of nutrients, water and oxygen, but end up destroying them. When roots find a leak, it will begin its quest to grow inside the pipe, hampering the flow of waste, causing blockages, broken pipes and other serious costly problems. Slow-release chemicals and barriers may help discourage root growth into the sewer lines, but when it has already found its way there, you have a big problem at hand.
- We often find tree roots to be the number one reason for a failed sewer line, and in most cases, they need to be cut off altogether. If you’re concerned the tree roots in your yard may be savaging your sewer pipe, call the drain experts right away. You wouldn’t wish to deal with sewage backup don’t you? Revolution Pipe Relining can also help you entirely eliminate tree roots in the sewer line and perform pipe repair so it will never have a chance to grow back and wreak havoc in your plumbing and your entire home.
- Know the warning signs of a clog – The easiest way to prevent clog problems from happening is to be one step ahead. Clogs will never fail to give you solid clues, so make every effort to keep a watchful eye to remedy the problem right away. Your toilet doesn’t flush, the kitchen sink starts to stink, there’s an unexpected puddle in the yard, your drains gurgle and suddenly all your drains take too long to drain the water. These are all signs of a choked up drain that you shouldn’t miss and under any circumstances, ignore. Prevention is better than cure, so do all things possible to be alert to these warning signs, and most of all, call a plumber right away to perform drain camera inspection. A good inspection can spot what and where exactly the problem is.
- Never delay a clog problem – If a doctor will tell you there’s something wrong, would you likely shun the truth and just walk away? Your drainage system is also the same. You should not turn a blind eye to drains that badly need repair. Keep in mind that just like your health, the longer you delay the treatment, the more likely it will get worse and cause more serious problems. Take for example a slow draining sink. It may seem an easy problem to fix with a plunger, but if it didn’t fix after giving it an extra hard pump to get it moving, you’re just giving the clog an opportunity to find its way to the sewer line and cause slow drain problems in other drains in your home. Sink drain traps where clogs settle also connect with twist-off couplings. Putting too much pressure can damage the drain line connection, resulting in a ruined trap and leaks. Rule of the thumb when it comes to clogs, whether big or small. Don’t fix it yourself, and don’t ever hold it back to a later time.
- Have a professional plumber inspect your plumbing regularly – Nothing beats early detection with a plumber when it comes to leaks and clogs. A thorough plumbing inspection will cover inspection in sinks, tubs, showers, and other fixtures where leaks commonly turn up. This will then give plumbers an opportunity to fix a simple issue which has the potential to become a bigger problem in the future. That is why a professional plumber is much needed for this job, instead of a regular plumber. Plumbing professionals were trained in different aspects in plumbing and had a number of years of experience to handle a mix of problems. They will never fail to identify other underlying problems, such as mineral buildup that can constrict the water flow and can easily result in leaks.
- When leaks are left undetected, patches of mould may start to develop as well as rust in your metal pipes. Mould will make your house look like trash and eventually weaken the foundation, while rust will slowly eat up your metal pipes, until it will completely fail.
- Invest in regular drain cleaning – Along with routine plumbing inspection, it would be a smart decision to have a regular drain cleaning, especially when problems pops up every now and then. Your drain takes up all the dirt and waste in your household on a daily basis, so it just makes sense to give it a little TLC from time to time. A lot of benefits goes along with drain cleaning, so don’t hold off calling the drain experts, like the drain pipe relining professionals to facilitate this. Drain cleaning reduces the number of times you’ll be calling for a clog, which means you can keep pipe repair expenses at bay.
- Consider sewer pipe relining – There’s no better way to prevent clogs from ruining your home than sewer pipe relining in Sydney method. This allows us to repair damaged portions in your pipe, minus the excavation part, so you’ll never have to worry about your yard being ripped off in the process especially when the damage has reached far down. A clog is more likely to develop when the surface of the pipe is not seamless, and non-resistant to tree roots. Sewer relining contractors can turn your experience around with your inefficient pipe by repairing damages in it and applying a protective liner which allows for efficient water flow.
