Sanitary Sewer Cleaning

The Dangers Posed By Clogged Drains

Every drain and sewer line slowly accumulates sediment from the dirty water flowing through it on a daily basis. There are also bigger pieces of debris that can get tangled up inside, particularly hair, bits of plastic, and stray garbage. Eventually, this impacts a drain’s performance, and could even stop it up completely, leading to messy backups. If this blockage occurs in a main sewer line, it could cripple the entire property’s sanitary system. Be sure to call a certified API professional to mitigate these disasters before they happen!

What Causes Clogs?

There are many things that can contribute to a clog that forces you to seek out professional drain cleaning services. Aside from the natural buildup of dirt particles along the pipes, certain types of food and chemical waste can also make matters worse. The best way to protect your commercial or industrial drains is by keeping garbage in the trash can, protecting drains with guards, and getting regular drain cleaning services.

Signs Your Drains Need Service

The signs of a clogged drain are usually pretty obvious. A functional fixture should drain water as fast as the faucet produces it, so if the fixture is filling up while the drain is open then you need drain maintenance. You may also notice gurgling or burping during use, lingering odors, and minor leaks around the fixture if the pipes are getting clogged.

Routine drain inspections, cleaning, and maintenance can extend the life of your system, ensure optimal efficiency, and help you avoid many common problems altogether. That’s why we recommend that all of our clients think about scheduling preventative maintenance services on a regular basis to stay ahead of the game. We recommend drain cleaning on a quarterly basis, with twice a year being the minimum.
