When Do Drains Need Clearing?

If you suspect that your drains need to be cleared, they likely do. Drain problems present themselves through a variety of symptoms which can include slow draining, complete drain stoppage, and bad smells.

Signs that your drains need to be cleared include:

• Slow drainage of water in sinks, tubs, or showers
• Bad odors emitting from drains
• Loud gurgling noises
• The need for frequent liquid drain treatments

Benjamin Franklin Plumbing Offers Options for Drain Cleanings

Different problems call for different drain cleaning techniques. Some clogs are simple and caused by items such as oils, hairs, food, and other items that commonly fall into drains. Other drains are more complex and are caused by natural forces. For example, the roots of a tree can grow through a drain pipe, causing a blockage.

The following can cause drain clogs:

• Roots
• Ground settling
• Foreign objects
• Drainpipe collapses
• Erosion
• Misaligned drain pipe sections

Rooter Service

This method of unclogging drains is commonly referred to as “snaking.” A rooter uses a cable to navigate the pathways of a drainpipe and clear them. Snaking is useful because it allows for the clearing of pipes without the professional having to dig them out of the ground.

Hydro Jetting

Hydro jetting is useful for severe clogs that require force for clearing. When debris causes a stubborn clog, specialized equipment is used by one of our plumbers to force water down the pipe. The force of this water breaks up stubborn clogs that a rooter might not be able to reach.

Bio-Ben

Not all drain clogs require specialized equipment. Our Bio-Ben septic product is based on biotechnology. It introduces microorganisms into your drain pipe, which eat away at clogs. It’s easy to use, safe, and takes only minutes to work. Bio-Ben is available only at your local Benjamin Franklin Plumbing!
