Drainage problems often become a problem in your home as your plumbing system ages, says Keyrenter Houston team. These problems can range from mildly annoying issues like gurgling sounds from the toilet to major problems like bad odors from drains and backed up sewer lines.
Drainage issues in your home happen for reasons that may be classified as avoidable manmade problems or unavoidable natural problems. The avoidable issues are the result of how you use your drains. The natural problems are caused by the design and function of the drains.
Here are some simple explanations to help you understand better:
Unavoidable causes of drainage problems in homes
The sole purpose of the drainage system is to get rid of the wastewater generated from the different plumbing fixtures in your house. Whether this is graywater from bathrooms and sinks or blackwater from your toilet, everything finds its way into the drainage pipes.
The problem is that wastewater contains semi-solid and solid materials, and as they flow through the pipes, some of these materials are left behind as debris. With time, this debris can build up, clogging the pipes and causing drainage problems in your home.
Artificial causes of drainage problems in your home
How you use your drains can promote buildup in your drainage system. If fats, oils, and grease are dumped into the sink drain or starchy foods, fibrous veggies, coffee grinds, eggshells, etc., are flushed into the drain, they will cause problems.
Another common mistake is to put things other than water, human waste, and toilet paper into the toilet. If occupants regularly trash paper towels, wipes, diapers, etc., into the toilet, the drains will be more likely to clog.
The most efficient drain cleaning strategy for your home
Whether the drainage issues in your home are natural or artificial, there is one way to solve them. The best option is hydro jetting. It removes the debris inside your pipes, restores optimal flow through your drains, and stops the annoying drain problems in your home.
Hydro jetting or high-pressure drain cleaning is a method that will get rid of drain clogs in situations where traditional methods fail. It is the only drain-cleaning method that will dislodge the debris inside your drainage lines and also eject them from the pipes.
How does hydro jetting work?
A complete hydro jetting setup consists of a pressurizing machine (jetter), a large water tank, a high-pressure water hose, and a stainless steel nozzle. After it is connected to the pressurizing machine, the hose, along with the attached nozzle, is inserted into the clogged pipe.
To clear the pipe, the jetter pulls water from the tank and sends it into the hose after pressurizing it. This water exits the nozzle as a jet stream of high-pressure water, powerful enough to blast away any debris inside the pipes, including sludge, grease, limescale, and tree roots.
Hydro jetting is the only drain cleaning method that will dislodge clogs and flush the debris out of your pipes while scouring pipe walls to get rid of adhering debris. These extra steps help to restore optimal flow and ensure that your drains remain clear for a very long time.
However, these are not the only benefits of high-pressure drain cleaning. Other reasons to adopt this option as your home’s go-to drain cleaning strategy include:
- Hydro jetting is quick
The typical hydro jetting operation takes a few hours. For busy homeowners who cannot afford to have drain-cleaning operations disrupt their routine, hydro jetting is a perfect solution.
- Hydro jetting is highly efficient
Hydro jetting avoids the drawbacks of other methods. For instance, unlike chemical cleaners, it doesn’t corrode pipes or harm the environment. With hydro jetting, you get safe and efficient drain cleaning that lasts.
- Hydro jetting is safe for pipes
Before hydro jetting your pipes, the operator will inspect the system (via a sewer camera inspection). This will tell them the condition of your pipes if the pipes can withstand hydro jetting, and the right water pressure to use.
- Hydro jetting is non-invasive
With hydro jetting, you don’t need expensive excavations in your yard just to clear out the debris inside your drain lines. Hydro jetting lets you bypass the disruption and heavy costs associated with excavations.
- Hydro jetting is versatile
You can tackle any drain clog and blockage with hydro jetting. For stubborn clogs, the potency of hydro jetting can be multiplied by using hot water for the operation. Hydro jetting gets rid of grease, sludge, tree roots, and scale.
- Hydro jetting is ideal for preventive care
Perhaps the biggest advantage of hydro jetting is it can be deployed as preventive plumbing maintenance. Hydro jetting your drains yearly is the best way to prevent drain clogs and blockages.
