CLOGGED DRAINS

Empty your clogs: what happens to you?

A drain socket is a buildup of debris that clogs the piping leading from your drain out of your home. If you have a clogged drain, several types of plumbing diseases can happen.

Worst scenario: download backups

If even a partial blockage blocks your drain, everything you send can go back. Think of all the grime you dump on a daily basis.

• Wash your hair, bacteria, and soap down the bathroom sinks and showers.
• You throw the old food scum down the kitchen sink.
• And we don't want to go into what you drain in the bathroom.
• A simple socket sends everything to recharge.

Let's say one of your guests needs to use the bathroom, and this is the time when your bathroom contents show up uninvited. Embarrassing… to say the least.

Wastewater sewer

No matter how many times you clean your bathroom, no matter how many scented candles and Glade plug-ins you buy, you always smell like sewage. First of all a bathroom problem, the unpleasant smell spreading directly from your drains is a sign that you have a serious clog.

Something to consider: If you can smell the sewer and live with it every day, any guests who use the bathroom are sure to be noticed and DISGUSTED.

Where do the clogs come from?

• Drain clogs form during daily use in any drain at any time. Each different type of drain clogs for different reasons.
• Toilet
• Toilet paper and "biological matter" can cling or get stuck in pipes. Particularly old pipes.
• Showers
• Hair and soap are your biggest culprits here. Hair, in particular, is known among plumbers for its ability to block drains.
• Kitchen sink
• Food waste and greases block the sewers. Scrapping food in the trash limits this clogging problem.
• Bathroom sink
• Like your shower, hair and soap block the sink drain. Additionally, toothpaste and shaving cream can form hooves as well.

Can I manage it by myself?

Unless you went to school for it, you shouldn't try. You can injure yourself, damage your plumbing (especially if it's old), and waste time and money.

Chemical risk

• Chemical sewage cleaners are sold in nearly every type of retailer, from your local pharmacy. However, this doesn't make them remotely safe.
• Made up of a strong or acidic base, a liquid drain cleaner can destroy your pipes and the clog you intend to hit. The drain filter erodes PVC pipes and metal pipes in particular. Imagine taking a small problem like a clogged drain and turning it into a total drainage system replacement.
• Also, people get hurt every year using a chemical waste cleaner. Lack of adequate ventilation can cause irritation or death to the respiratory tract. Pouring it on the skin creates a severe and excruciating chemical burn.
• Despite all the potential dangers, sewer cleaners don't present themselves as the most effective way to clear a clogged drain anyway.
