How To Maintain Your Drains
While we are happy to provide drain cleaning in Sioux Falls when you need it, you also have the power to keep your drains in good condition for longer on your own. There are steps you can take in your daily life and routine to avoid clogged drains, including the following.
Avoid Washing Certain Items Down The Kitchen Drain
If you’re an avid home chef, you may be tempted to put your leftover food scraps down the garbage disposal. However, keep in mind that larger scraps will clog up not only the disposal but also your pipes. Additionally, grease or oil can build up and stick to the walls of your pipes, making blockages more common. Animal fats, in particular, should not be washed down the drain, but instead thrown out.
Don’t Flush Unflushable Objects
A plumber’s rule of thumb is only flush toilet paper. When using the toilet, don’t flush wipes, feminine products, tissues, or paper towels. These all have the potential to get stuck.
Use Drain Filters or Strainers
Use a mess strainer to keep hair and soap scum out of your tub drain. Similar devices can be used in your kitchen sink, especially if you don’t have a garbage disposal, to catch bits of food before they fall down the drain.
Flush The Kitchen Drain With Hot Water
To avoid oil and grease build-up, pour hot water down your sink. You can do this simply by heating up water in a kettle. Either do this after you cook or on a regular basis, once a week or so. The hot water will break down the grease before it gets stuck on.
Avoid Chemical Drain Cleaners
You may be tempted to use a chemical drain cleaner to get rid of clogs. However, these products can actually make your problems worse in the long run. They increase the chance of corrosion, which can often only be solved with repiping. They also temporarily solve the symptoms of your clogged drain without targeting the actual cause. This means you may not notice severe problems until it is too late.
Even when you take the above precautions, we do still recommend you get your drains cleaned in Sioux Falls, SD every two to three years. This will help prevent future potential ruptures, burst pipes, and leaks.
The Power of Hydro Jetting
One of the most effective methods of drain cleaning in Sioux Falls is hydro jetting. We bring equipment to shoot high-pressure streams of water through your pipes, effectively ridding them of accumulated waste and obstructions. Hydro jetting can clear away built-up grease, hair clogs, food, minerals, and sometimes even tree roots. Unlike other methods, it clears out your whole system, leaving no pipe untouched, and you will notice a clear difference in the functionality of your drains after we complete the service.
Not all homes are candidates for hydro jetting. Older plumbing systems and weak pipes may not be able to stand up to the intensity of the water pressure. We will determine whether or not hydro jetting is safe for your plumbing system after an initial inspection.
Camera Inspections Included
Camera inspections of your pipes and sewer line allow us to better diagnose what’s going on with your plumbing. We can identify the location of blockages, look for potential weak points or leaks, and more without doing major construction to access pipes. We include a free camera inspection with every drain cleaning in Sioux Falls, SD, so you can rest assured that when you work with Dr. Rooter, you will get a full picture of the status of your plumbing system.
