No one likes a clogged drain. It can put a halt to anything, from a relaxing afternoon cooking with family, a busy evening getting the dishes done, or a hasty morning shower before work. Grabbing the plunger and doing the job yourself can be a pain. On top of that, what do you do when your hard work doesn\u2019t <\/em>pay off \u2014 or you suspect you\u2019re dealing with a problem more serious than a standard clog?<\/p>\n Quit playing the hit-or-miss guessing game when it comes to your plumbing repair. Find a more efficient solution by contacting Mister Sewer, Plumbing & HVAC for professional, affordable drain cleaning services and sewer cleaning services in and around Pittsburgh, PA!<\/p>\n Ever wondered what plumbers will do when you call them for drain cleaning services or sewer cleaning services? Wonder no more; we\u2019ll lay it out for you right here. There are generally two ways that stubborn clogs are resolved: hydro jetting and drain snaking.<\/p>\n Hydro jetting is an effective choice when you have a stubborn blockage that won\u2019t clear or you\u2019re experiencing frequent blockages. Hydro jetting involves high-pressure water being directed through your pipes to clear the clog away. A pressurized jet of water will clear almost any blockage, even if it\u2019s something as large as a tree root. It will also clean other debris and residue from the walls of your pipes. Another benefit of hydro jetting is the fact that it\u2019s effective on just about any kind of pipe and clears a clog fast.<\/p>\n Although hydro jetting is effective, it\u2019s a powerful process that can damage older or more fragile pipes. If this method is employed during drain cleaning services, plumbing experts will adjust the water pressure accordingly to accommodate the condition of your pipelines.<\/p>\n Hydro jetting offers these and more benefits:<\/p>\n Drain snaking is a method for clearing an obstruction that puts no stress on your pipelines. It\u2019s also an easy method for clearing a simple blockage. Drain snaking is done by lowering a motorized or hand-twisted auger or \u201cdrain snake\u201d into the blocked pipe. The auger is manipulated to find, break up, and remove drain clogs.<\/p>\n As a method done to check for clogs, drain snaking can provide insight into the condition of your pipes. For example, snaking a drain as part of drain cleaning services can reveal the presence of a complex blockage like a tree root that will need to be removed with hydro jetting.<\/p>\n Snaking has obvious benefits, primarily in cases where the blockage is simple and unclogging the drain is an easy fix.<\/p>\n You may be in need of drain cleaning services or sewer cleaning services if\u2026<\/p>\n Drain clogs can happen thanks to a variety of different problems with your plumbing system. Here are some of the most common culprits when it comes to a clogged drain:<\/p>\n If you find your drains clogging thanks to excessive toilet paper usage, cut back on your usage or switch to a different TP that\u2019s easier on your drains. Your plumbing system is meant to handle its fair share of toilet paper, but not so much that it regularly stops up your drains!<\/p>\n The only things that should go in your toilet are human waste and toilet paper. That means no <\/strong>feminine hygiene products, diapers, trash, paper towels, cotton balls or swabs, or \u201cflushable\u201d wipes should get flushed down your toilet \u2014 no matter how much those wipes claim to be safe for your plumbing system.<\/p>\n Food waste might be causing your clogged drain if you\u2019re regularly trying to put thick, large, or bony leftovers down your garbage disposal. Put vegetable peelings in the trash rather than the disposal, never try to wash bones down the disposal, no matter how small they are, and always avoid putting eggshells or other sharp and crunchy food waste down the kitchen sink drain. When in doubt, THROW IT OUT!<\/p>\n You should never pour oil, grease, or fat down your kitchen sink drain, or else you might clog your pipes when it solidifies. Instead, put leftover cooking grease in a disposable container in the freezer and throw it out with the garbage once it\u2019s frozen solid.<\/p>\n Occasionally, you may experience clogged pipes because of hard water or other similar issues that bring sediment or minerals into your water supply. Investing in a water softening system may help, but before you do, it\u2019s best to schedule a system inspection by the pros, so we can make sure years of hard water have not caused your pipes excessive damage.<\/p>\n Our plumbing experts don\u2019t just provide affordable drain and sewer cleaning services in and around Pittsburgh, PA.
