Drain Cleaning in Lafayette

The drain system of your home is highly sensitive. Mostly, because it was designed to manage wastewater and organic solid waste, but more than that is often sent down the drains. The products that get rinsed down your drains will create a build-up of residue on the inside walls of the plumbing system that is attached to the drains. Not to mention, the drain itself can quickly get clogged with products like these:

• Shaving cream
• Shampoo and hair products
• Soap
• Food scraps
• Meat grease
• Cleaning chemicals
• Hair

All of these products get rinsed down the drain in your bathroom and kitchen and then mix together in the drain and pipes. If there isn’t water rinsed down the drain for a period of time, then these materials begin to dry out in your pipes and drain – and solidify.

Sewer Line Cleaning

An extension of your drain system is your sewer system. In fact, all of the drains in your home connect to your sewer system so that the waste materials that are generated by your household are carried away from your home and to the sewer treatment facility.

Anything that you put down the drain in your home will eventually wind up in your main sewer line, which means that there are many things that can clog or damage your main sewer line:

• Grease and meat drippings. When you put these materials down the drain in your kitchen sink, they might not clog the drain right away or at all. But, eventually, they will land in your main sewer line. Having a build-up of grease from your kitchen sink in the main sewer line is dangerous because it can mix with the toilet paper or other paper products that get flushed down the toilet. All mixed together, these items can create a very dangerous clog.
• Non-flushable paper products. Your toilet and sewer line were only designed to manage human waste and small amounts of toilet paper. When you flush items down the toilet like q-tips, baby wipes, and used cotton balls, you are putting your sewer system at great risk.
• Foreign objects. If you have small children in your home, it is a good idea to either child-proof the door to the bathroom or child-lock the toilet. It is not out of the norm for a child to become fascinated with the toilet and send a foreign object down the drain.
