Backed-up drain water can quickly turn a simple home activity into an activity of great frustration in a home. Each week, Local Plumbers receives phone calls from very upset homeowners who have been taken advantage of by other competitors who attempted to clear clogged drains in a home before Local Plumbers.

 The pipe had begun to back up water before Local Plumbers’ arrival; fortunately, no extensive plumbing damage was done to the home prior to our local team arriving quickly.

Why Niagara Falls Homes Get Clogged Drains?

As with all cities, Niagara Falls has its own unique issues with plumbing systems. For many of the older homes with mature trees and expansive root systems, it is not uncommon for tree roots to enter into small cracks and holes in sewer lines causing major damage. Homes of older vintage typically have original pipe materials such as clay or cast iron that have narrowed over time due to rust and scale buildup.

Unlike modern plastic pipes with smooth surfaces, older pipes have rough surfaces that trap debris very easily. The cold winter months also can cause problems with drains as people tend to cook more hearty meals. Grease that is poured down kitchen sinks can solidify in external pipes during cold weather.

We had a recent instance of a kitchen sink clogging up completely during a very cold week in January, only to discover the blockage was from grease from holiday cooking that had accumulated in the external pipe. As with hair and soap in bathroom drains, these local factors place a lot of stress on all drains. We treat the cause of the problem, not just the symptoms, to ensure that your plumbing system can handle the rigours of normal usage.

FAQs

What is the frequency of drain cleaning in my house?
A professional drain cleaning service should be used once or twice per year in order to avoid clogging or the development of bad smells as a result of build-up of grease or soap residue in the drain pipes.
Will drain snaking services damage my old pipes?
Our professional plumbers apply special techniques and appropriate tools that will not cause any harm to the pipe system, as we always examine your old pipes using a camera in order to prevent any pipe damage.
Why does my bathroom drain smell like rotten food?
Bad smells develop because of hair and decomposed dead skin cells as well as soap scum, which accumulate in the drain pipe.
What are the differences between hydro jetting and snaking?
Snaking works through the use of a metal cable punching a hole through a solid clog to allow the flow of water. Hydro jetting involves the use of high-pressure water jets to scrub the inside walls of the entire pipe, making it totally clean.
Is it possible to use chemical cleaners on my slow drain?
It is highly recommended not to use any chemical cleaners since they have corrosive and harsh substances capable of eroding the metal piping and plastic joints.
