What Is Water Jetting & Why Your Property Would Need It

The Risk of Clogs

Drain lines play a simple yet crucial role in keeping living spaces sanitary. Their one job of delivering waste and wastewater out and away from the premises is rarely interrupted from the outside but is commonly inhibited internally. Non-biodegradable debris and other muck can get stuck in the drain line and prevent the proper flow of waste and wastewater. Though the minor symptoms of a clog are easy to brush off, ignoring a clog can make way for bigger problems such as:

• Water or sewage backups.
• Corroded and cracked drains or pipes.
• Sewage leaks, sinkholes, and indentations in the yard.
• A cracked foundation.
• Insect and rodent infestations.

Prevention and Unclogging

The best way to deal with clogs is by preventing them from happening, but it is impossible to completely eliminate the possibility. Still, you can reduce the risk of clogs with some mindfulness and gadgets:

• Install drain filters, garbage disposals, and grease traps to catch gunk before they have a chance to enter the drain field.
• Only flush toilet paper, pee, and poo. Keep hygiene products, paper towels, and anything else out of the toilet.
• Do not pour used fats, oils, and greases into the kitchen drains.
• Keep scrap foods out of the kitchen sink.

You can also take some extra precaution by rinsing drains regularly. We recommend rinsing drains with hot water once a week and with vinegar and baking soda once every few months. Finally, arrange a professional hydro jetting drain cleaning once every couple of years for like-new, clean drains.
