Sooner or later, it’s going to happen in every household: the kitchen sink’s not draining, or the shower’s not draining, or the tubs not draining, or worse, the toilet is backed up and overflowing. When those difficulties occur, and they will at some time, there’s a good chance you have clogged drains or a clogged sewer line.
In either case, that’s a problem not to be taken lightly. In addition to being a huge annoyance, clogged drains and sewer lines are a health hazard and can potentially lead to flooding and substantial damage to flooring and carpets.
When you’re faced with any of these problems, it’s time to call in the service experts from Sullivan Super Service to get your drains or sewer line cleared and the water and waste flowing as they should.
Causes of Clogged Drains
Under normal conditions, water and other waste flow smoothly out of your house into the city sewer line or into your septic system. Over time, however, fats, oil, and grease (known in the plumbing industry as FOG), as well as various foreign objects, can combine to form clogs restricting the flow of water out of your home, possibly leading to a complete blockage.
In addition to these household sources of drain issues, roots love the water in your sewer line, and they’ll make their way through any crack or opening in your line, further clogging the system.
A Word About OTC Drain Cleaning Products
Faced with clogged drains, the first response of many homeowners is to buy a drain cleaner at the supermarket or hardware store. For very minor, localized clogs these might work for a while, but they cannot undo major clogs.
Also, when used repeatedly, the corrosive chemicals in these products may damage your system. And you may even injure yourself, burning your skin or harming your eyes, trying to use them.
Better by far, to call in the expert professional plumbers from Sullivan Super Service. In many cases, they can clear the clog using an augur or a snake.
