    Why do I need routine Drain Cleaning?

    Have you forgotten about the health of the drains in your home?  Many people forget about the condition of the drains in their home.  In many instances the need for drain cleaning does not arise until it is too late.  There is typically already damage that has occurred.  That is why using a professional plumber like St Paul Drain Cleaning to clean your drains is extremely important.  They can fix your drain before more damage occurs.  

    Clogged drains can potentially lead to health problems.  Clogged drains can lead to an accumulation of bacteria that is hidden from you and eventually health issues.  If water can’t drain from your sinks, it can lead to backflow of dirty water and potentially sewer water into your sinks.  This water is laden with bacterial that can potentially get airborne and affect individuals with asthma and other allergen sensitive conditions.  Hiring a professional before the problem gets to a critical stage can avoid unhealthy bacteria entering your home.  

    Unpleasant smells can result from blocked drains.  The accumulation of stagnant water in your drains can lead to unpleasant smells that accumulate throughout your house.  Bacteria feeds off solids that accumulate in drains and produces unpleasant hydrogen sulfide gas.  These unpleasant smells can lead to family members developing headaches, nausea and other conditions.  Covering up the smells with potpourri or scented candles only hides the problem.  Hiring a professional company like St Paul Drain Cleaning to clean your drains and keep them maintained rids your home of unwanted odors.  

    Clogged drains can lead to the accumulation of water in drain pipes, that can lead to leaks in drain piping.  As water builds up in drain pipes, if the water accumulates to too high of a level, the pressure can build up to a level where a leak can occur.  This can lead to water damage throughout the affected area.  These affected areas are breeding grounds for mold and mildew to form.  Mold and mildew can lead to a number of unwanted health conditions.  Clogged drains need to be fixed immediately to avoid long-term damage to your house and health from water damage.  A professional drain cleaner is a key partner to maintaining your drains to avoid water damage to your home and plumbing.

    How do drains get clogged?

    Hair

    Human hair, as well as animal fur and other stringy substances like dental floss can lead to serious clogged drains.   Typical locations are bathtubs, bathroom sinks, showers, and laundry tubs.  These stringy substance can combine with grease, soap, and other solids to form a matrix to can produce very dense clogs.  

    Hair clogs can be minimized by decreasing the amount of substances sent into the drain.  Using strainers can help eliminate clogs.  Closing the drain plug when there is risk for solids to enter the drain can help avoid clogs.  Always remember to open the drain plug when finished.  Using St Paul Drain Cleaning to maintain your drains can avoid clogged drains.      

    Soap

    Soap deposits, also known as soap scum, can build up in bathroom sinks, shower drains, laundry tubs, and kitchen sinks.  Soap buildup over time can cause the diameter of pipes to shrink and lead to slow draining of affected areas.  Soap scum is breeding ground for mold and mildew.  Mold and mildew attracts bacteria, which can lead to unhealthy conditions in your sink.  Soap scum can also combine with other substances, such as hair and dirt, and lead to slow draining sinks.   

    Use a mesh trap in your bathroom sinks and showers to avoid sending soap scum and other materials that combine with soap scum to clog drains.  

    Do not use your sinks link a garbage disposal.  Anything you send down your drain can connect to soap scum and lead to clogged drains.  Grease, food scraps, hair products can all be harmful to your drain.  Properly dispose of grease, food scraps, and other items in the garbage or compost bins.   St Paul Drain Cleaning can take care of any problems that soap scum causes to your drains.     

    Dirt

    It is a common misconception that an limited amount of dirt can be send down drains.  Dirt can combine with soap scum, hair, food, and grease and lead to clogged drains.

    Oil, Grease, and Fat

    Oil, fat, and grease can cause very serious problems with drains.  They can solidify in drains and lead to smaller diameter drains, and eventually lead to clogs. It is frequently thought that running hot water down the drain with oil, fat, and grease will keep a drain from clogging.  However, they can still build up in drains and lead to clogs.  Choose and different method for disposing of them.  

    Food Waste

    Food waste can be especially bad for kitchen sinks.  Even if you have a garbage disposal food waste can lead to clogged drains.    Food like tea leaves and coffee grounds do not break down and can lead to build up in drains.  Even if  you have a garbage disposal choose a different method to disposing of food.  Try using a compost bin, which an be used to recycle food back into the earth and keep your garden healthy.  Again, call St Paul Drain Cleaning to solve your drain issues and keep your drains clean.   

    Why do Drains have U-Shaped Pipes?

    The u-shaped drain under a sink, otherwise known as a “p-trap”, keeps sewer gas from coming backwards into your home.  It does because it traps water in the piping.  When water drains out of a sink, it runs down the drain piping and into the main sewer pipe where it leaves your house.  Water is left behind in the p-trap.  

    If a sink is not used for an extended period of time, the water in the p-trap may dry up.  You will then smell sewer gas near the drain.  This can be very dangerous since dangerous sewer gas can cause unhealthy conditions in your home.  Run water down the drain to once again fill the p-trap up with water.  

    What are Roof Vents?

    St Paul Drain Cleaning

    Drain pipes transport water from sinks throughout homes to main sewer line underneath the yard and out to municipal sewer systems.  It is not quite that easy.  Roof vents are needed to help facilitate the drainage of water throughout homes.  Without roof vents water sinks will appear to to have clogged drains

    Roof vents work alongside drain pipes.  Every drain in a home is connected to a roof vent pipe.  Instead of carrying water, they regulate the flow of air in drains pipes and allow water to drain through the piping in homes.  Without vent pipes a vacuum would form and not allow water to drain from sinks.  Water heaters also have vents.  It can be easy to mistake a water heater vent for a drain vent.

    A second benefit of vent pipes is to transport foul sewer gases that can enter sink drains from sewer systems.  These dangerous gases need to be vented and roof vents allow it to happen.  Roof vents are positioned  far away from air intakes to homes to ensure the sewer gases do not reenter homes.  A professional drain cleaner like St Paul Drain Cleaning can identify if a blocked roof vent is the issue causing your sink not to drain and solve the problem.  

    Frequency Asked Questions?

    When do you call a plumber for a clogged drain?

    Does your drain have unpleasant odors?  Does your sink drain very slowly?  Have you noticed that your drain is draining slower and slower each day?  If so, call St Paul Drain Cleaning to solve your drain problem.  If is better to take care of problem when you think there are signs of a problem instead of waiting until you have an emergency.  

    What hydro jet cleaning?

    Hydro jet cleaning is the most effective way for cleaning drain and sewer pipes.  Is is also the fastest way to clean drain and sewer pipes.  A system is comprised of a water tank that is hook up to a high pressure pump that delivers high pressure water to the pipe at high velocity to clean the pipe.  Hydro jetting can even break up a tree root in a pipe into small pieces.  The high pressure water scrubs the pipe clean.  The pipe virtually looks new when the process is complete.  It is typical to inspect the drain pipe with a camera before hydro jetting to determine if the pipe has any damage.  

    What is a plumbing snake?

    Some people also call it an auger.  A plumbing snake is a very effective way to clear drains that are clogged.  Is is a metal tube that encloses an inner cable that has on the end a corkscrew auger.   There is a crank on the other end of the cable.  Spinning the crank, with some force, will get rid of the clog by going through the clog and encapsulating it.  The clog gets twisted around the auger.  The auger and cable can then be pulled out of the drain to bring the clog with, which takes care of the drain clog.  Plumbing snakes used for sink drains are typically straight plumbing snakes.  Plumbing snakes also come in motorized versions where a motor turns the auger, which speeds up the drain cleaning process.
