The various parts of your plumbing system work together as a team to bring clean water into your house and take waste water away. When something goes wrong with any part of your drain system, you will likely need help quickly. If you are dealing with a damaged drain pipe or a stubborn clog, we are here to offer solutions.
Most drain clogs are caused by things we do and use in our home. Some of these items build up over time before causing issues and some will have an immediate impact. Either way, being proactive can help reduce the likelihood of having any drainage issues.
⦁ Grease or Oil
⦁ Hair
⦁ Personal Care Product Residue
⦁ Mineral Buildup
⦁ Dropping objects down the drain
⦁ Flushing things that should not be flushed, such as tampon and wipes.
Believe it or not, wipes really aren’t all that flushable. Have you ever read the usage instructions on the package? No? Well you certainly aren’t alone. The steps to ensure these wipes flush properly are not typically abided by, which can cause plumbing issues. Wipes do not dissolve easily and typically remain solid as it travels through your sewer system, which can cause clogs.
While a clog can seem like a minor issue that can be resolved on your own, you may want to consider calling a professional. Attempting to fix the issue on your own can sometimes cause bigger issues. Drain cleaning liquids sold in store have toxic chemicals that are damaging to your pipes, while using a plunger can push the clog further down your system, but not far enough to clear it. This is why it’s imperative to contact WaterTech Plumbing and have our professionally trained technicians bring the proper tools and use proven methods to properly clear the clog.
