Why Is Drain Cleaning Necessary?
Drains can become clogged over time as a result of the buildup of hair, oil, dirt, and other substances. When a drain becomes clogged, it can put pressure on your pipes, which inevitably leads to pipe damage. You may see more frequent leaks or unpleasant problems like pests throughout your drains and home.
Many people have the misconception that if their drain is clogged, they can use store-bought products to resolve the issue. However, before you turn to these products, it is important to know that they can actually do more harm than good. They expand inside a pipe forcing items to move down the line. This can lead to costly damage and even further blockages depending on the severity and cause of the stoppage. The active ingredient in these over the counter products can also deteriorate the interior walls of your home’s pipes, leading to premature failure and costly repiping fees.
Fortunately, our team at Turbo Plumbing & Rooter is dedicated to providing you with reliable drain cleaning in Granada Hills and the surrounding areas. You can rely on us to find the source of the clog and walk you through your options for clearing them.
Signs You Are Need Of Drain Cleaning
If you are suffering from a stoppage and need the help of professional drain cleaning in Granada Hills to clear the line, we are here for you! Our experts have the necessary training and tools to get the job done right.
A few signs that your drains need to be cleaned include:
- Your toilets don't flush properly
- Sinks and tubs take a long time to drain
- Your tub fills up with water while you shower
- Strange smells coming from your drains
- Gurgling noises in your pipes
Hydro Jetting
Hydro jetting is one of the most effective solutions for drain clogs because it can remove even the most stubborn blockages. Additionally, hydro jetting can prevent property damage and improve the condition of your pipes. It does this by pushing water at very high speeds through your homes drain lines and sewer line, effectively clearing out items that may be clogging or blocking the flow of water and waste through your drains.
The cleaning nozzle sprays water at around 35,000 psi to blast away debris and clogs while also scrubbing the interior walls of all of your drain pipes. This scrubbing removes the sticky residue build-up that promotes new clogs.
How Can 35,000 PSI Be Safe?
Knowing that your home’s water lines offer an average of about 50 psi, you might be wondering how we can claim that 700 times as much water pressure is safe. But the secret is in the training and hands-on experience of our team of licensed plumbers. We are not handing a hydro jet machine to anyone who does not have years of experience and proper training to safely and effectively operate this piece of technology.
In a skilled professional’s hands, the hydro-jetting equipment is very safe for your drain lines and the environment. Because we use only pure water to blast away residue and obstructions, there is no need for toxic chemical cleaners. And that means no caustic chemical fumes in your home. And no chemicals being washed into the city sewers and potentially finding their way into natural wetlands or the local water table.
We also will only use our hydro jetting equipment on pipes that are in good condition. If there are problems with your plumbing system or it is too old, we may suggest other solutions.
Video Camera Inspections
With a video camera inspection, we are able to locate, diagnose (most times) and then repair a problem without the mess of traditional methods to find a clog. Video camera inspections are usually more cost-effective, can show a problem more accurately and are more non-invasive then traditional methods for locating a problem.
Common Sources of Clogged Drains
Kitchen Sinks
9 times out of 10 when we are called out on a kitchen sink clog the issue at hand is food waste or a foreign object that is preventing water from draining from the sink. This can happen for several reasons but is typically accompanied by a broken or stopped garbage disposal. The good news is regardless of the cause of your backed up kitchen sink, we can get it flowing again.
Bathroom Sinks, Showers & Tubs
The main reasons bathroom sinks, showers, & tubs back up is because we rarely use drain screens anymore. Drain screens are a genius, albeit simple solution to clogged drains. They sit on top of the drain and catch hair, soap scum, bar soap bits, and other items from falling down the drain. Since these are the main contributors to clogs, drain screens can go a long way to prevent future issues. When you call us out to perform your drain cleaning in Granada Hills, make sure to ask us about preventative measures to keep the problem from occurring again.
Sewer Line Cleaning
The presence of a serious clog in your sewer line is a major plumbing issue that requires the attention of a qualified plumbing company. Tree root intrusions and build-up from waste can both cause blockages that may be able to be cleared with a cleaning.
