Why Do My Drains Need Maintenance?

The drain and sewer lines in your home serve critical roles in your plumbing system.  They ensure that unsanitary wastewater is removed from your home to keep your family safe from contamination.  Drain and sewer line problems can arise, keeping harmful wastewater in your home.  

Maintaining your drains involve keeping your drains and toilets clear of anything that can clog them. It also involves scheduling an annual drain and sewer line maintenance service each year. Sticking to these two tasks will keep your drains and sewer line in good shape. You can depend on the experienced professionals at Howell Services to provide maintenance and resolve your drain and sewer line issues.

How Do Drains and Sewer Lines Get Clogged?

While sewer lines are built to be resilient, they can wear down over time and aren’t indestructible. They manage wastewater and sewage just fine but can easily get clogged when foreign substances enter them.

Drains and sewer line clogs are commonly caused by tree roots penetrating them in search of water. Mud can also seep into your sewer line from small cracks. Trash that has been disposed of in drains and toilets can also clog your sewer lines. Fats, oils, and grease that are disposed of in kitchen drains can congeal in pipes causing clogs. Hair that enters drains through showers can also cause backups. Toys and other items that mysteriously disappear often end up in drains and sewer lines.
