Drain Cleaning Services
It’s easy to forget that when you flush the toilet your water doesn’t disappear into a black hole that makes everything go away. These luxuries are made possible by drain lines that run beneath your home and they must be maintained or replaced from time to time. Sometimes it can be the bathtub or shower drains that need to be serviced or sometimes the kitchen sink drains must be cleaned. In the worst scenarios your main sewer line must be cleaned out to stop the clogs that can ruin your day. If you feel that your drains begin to slow down then look no further than Perez Appliance and Plumbing Repair in South Gate, Downey, Lakewood and Bellflower.
Common Reasons for drain clogs
Drain lines may clog from time to time for a variety of reasons. This list is not comprehensive but can give you an idea of what types of situations may clog your drain lines
Bathtub drains can be clogged by hair that gets tangled inside the drain line
Feminine hygiene products that go down the drain
Old cast iron pipes may become deteriorated and catch trash
Grease that goes down the kitchen drain
Toilet paper or wet towels that are flushed and clog your toilet
Food leftovers that may lodge themselves in the kitchen sink drain
Kids toys that make their way down the toilet drain
You may notice that all these instances involve an obstruction that made its way down a drain line that it shouldn’t have. Drain lines resemble a system of roads with the smaller drains operating as alleys and the main lines operating as avenues. A truck wouldn’t fit through an alley and sometimes a large obstruction can block an avenue. Different problems have different causes and will sometimes require different solutions.
Equipment for drain stoppages
Our technicians at Perez Appliance and Plumbing Repair are equipped with the most often used tools to clear drain stoppages. Here is a quick look at some of the most common solutions
Snaking procedures are performed in 80% of instances and this involves running a metal cable into the drain line to clear the clog.
In the cases where a snake doesn’t clear the clog, a hydro jet machine may be used. This involves running a hose that shoots water at several thousands PSI to destroy the blockage
Under certain circumstances it is necessary to inspect the pipe with a camera in order to ensure that the pipe will not become a reoccurring problem.
At Perez Appliance and Plumbing Repair we take your needs into consideration and we will do our best to provide quick and efficient service for your drain cleaning needs.
