RELIABLE DRAIN CLEANING SERVICES FOR COLUMBUS, DUBLIN, NEW ALBANY, OH & THE SURROUNDING AREAS

IMPORTANCE OF GETTING YOUR DRAINS CLEANED

Often, we do not think about our drains until there is a clog, but they are an essential component of our home, used multiple times a day when washing dishes, taking a shower, washing hands, and more. To keep your drains in good condition, you should have them professionally cleaned yearly. Below are a few reasons why scheduling a drain cleaning with a professional is essential. 

• Prevent Odors: There’s nothing worse than having a lingering odor in your home that is challenging to remove. When you don’t clean your drains regularly, food particles will build up in your drains and cause bacteria and mold to grow, giving off a foul odor. 
• Improve Lifespan: Regular drain cleanings will extend the lifespan of your drains, reducing the risks of repairs and saving you money in the long run.
• Reduce Blockages: Hair, food waste, soap, dirt, tree roots, and more can all cause your drains to clog. Regular drain cleaning will prevent these clogs from forming and make for more efficient drainage. 
• Better Indoor Air Quality: Bactria, bugs, and dirt thrive in a dirty drain. You could risk water from your sewer lines coming up into your drain when you have a clog. To improve indoor air quality and keep your family healthy, you must call a professional for drain cleaning services. 

As you can see, regular drain cleaning is essential, and it is best to be left to the professionals. At D & L Plumbing, we offer quick and reliable plumbing services. Contact us today for more information. We proudly provide services to Columbus, New Albany, OH, and the surrounding areas.

 HOW OFTEN SHOULD YOU CLEAN YOUR DRAINS?

If you are noticing an odd, persistent odor in your home but you can't seem to find the source, you should start by checking your drains. Dirty, clogged drains spread unpleasant smells and dangerous bacteria throughout your home, so it's important to clean your drains regularly to avoid potential issues. Professional drain cleaning can be a major benefit once per year, but monthly or bi-monthly cleanings can help to prevent major issues.

Cleaning your drain is a relatively simple process. Simply mix one cup of very hot water, one cup of vinegar, and 1/2 cup of baking soda together, then pour the mixture down the drain. Cover the sink with the drain plug, then allow to sit for five to ten minutes to allow the baking soda and vinegar mixture to loosen potential blockages. Flush the drain with another cup of very hot water to jolt the debris loose and wash it away.

Food particles, hair, soap, and other particles do add up. Sometimes stubborn clogs simply will not loosen. If that happens, turn to a professional plumber before you attempt drain cleaning products. Chemical products can cause significant damage to your plumbing and harm the surrounding environment; our team uses high-quality and environmentally friendly products to make sure your drains are cleaned safely without causing further problems.
