Clean pipes make for a happy life!
One of the first things that a new homeowner should learn is how important their drainage system is to their home. With your plumbing equalling an average of 15% of the value of your home, your drainage system should be one of the first priorities that every homeowner should maintain. “water is your enemy,” because there are so many ways that water can ruin or destroy your home and property. A leak can wreak havoc on your home with things such as cracked and chipping ceilings, pipe burst, or pools of water in carpets and walls that can cause mold to develop.
Doing proper maintenance and repairs can save you costly plumbing bills in the future. There are a few steps you, as the home owner can do to prevent such leaks:
IN HOME DRAIN MAINTENANCE
An easy, safe and environmentally friendly method of preventative drain maintenance is to mix baking soda and vinegar down every drain in your house (kitchen and bathroom sinks, bathtubs and showers drains, etc.) and follow it 10-15 minutes later with boiling hot kettle water. Repeat this about once a month to help maintain your drains and prevent drain blockages. As shown in the “clear your drain video here,” https://jjs.plumbing/plumbers-about-us/diy-videos/
If a drain does become clogged, do not use draino or other chemically corrosive or harmful “drain cleaners.” Instead try using a plunger. If the drain is still blocked after this procedure contact us for further assistance at 6044792232 or by email at service@jjs.plumbing
DRAIN TILE MAINTENANCE
It is important to properly maintain your drain tiles by properly cleaning and maintaining them every 12-18 months, to avoid such problems as blockages from debris, or worse structural damage due to root growth and/or land settling. If you do not properly maintain your drain tile system water can rise from your ground water table and cause hydrostatic water pressure to crack your foundation and work its way into your house, flooding your basement and/or crawl space, causing damage to drywall, flooring, furniture, electronics and so on.
There are 2 ways to clear a clogged drain. First through opening it with a power auger or cable machine to clear the blockage, if fully blocked. Then once the blockage is cleared, or if not fully blocked, using a Hydro Flushing machine in order to restore the drain line back to full health as shown in the pictures above.
