Preventing Drain Clogs
Before all else, it’s a good idea to take a few precautions, so you don’t end up with drain issues in the first place. These preventative measures can save you from the damage a clogged drain can cause, making it well worth your time.
First, you can put screens over the drains in your home. These wire covers won’t restrict your fixtures from emptying but can prevent hair, food chunks, and other debris from making their way into your pipes. You’ll want to clean these covers every few days by emptying them into the garbage. As you clean your covers, you’ll see just how much debris they prevent from entering your sewer line.
Next, you should be very careful about what you put down your sink. While it can be tempting to rinse a large piece of food off in the sink and allow this debris to head into your drains, these items can build up over time, leading to drain problems. You should also avoid putting grease into your drains because it can solidify once it cools, causing a significant clog.
Finally, you might have a technician from Hunt’s Services stop by your Gig Harbor home every few months to clean your drains preemptively. While this service will cost you a bit of money, a little bit of preventative maintenance can save you significant repair costs in the future, not to mention the water damage around your house that it can help you avoid.
Gig Harbor Drain Cleaning Service
In some cases, the preventative measures you take won’t be enough. Debris will always get into your drains, and over time, this can lead to a clog.
While this clog is an annoyance, Hunt’s Services will ensure that it doesn’t become a massive problem in your home if you get us on the job right away.
Our team of technicians has various drain cleaning techniques at their disposal that will get to the bottom of the issue quickly and allow us to restore your plumbing service.
We’ll often start with a sewer camera inspection, which enables our plumbers to see inside your pipes to determine what is causing the obstruction. From there, we’ll come up with a solution.
We’ll often use hydro jetting, a method that sends a pressurized stream of water through your pipes to dislodge any obstructions. This method is quick, easy, and safe for your plumbing, allowing us to help with your drain clog as quickly as possible.
Once the water hits the obstruction, it’s carried to the city’s main sewer line, and it never bothers you again.
We also have special equipment that cuts through any obstructions in your drain pipe, turning it into smaller pieces that can easily fit through your pipes and reach the city line.
Remember that after we remove the obstruction, we’ll do another video camera inspection to make sure we got everything, so you can be confident that it won’t cause further issues for you.
