Here at Benjamin Franklin Plumbing® of Hendersonville, we are proud to be a trusted plumbing company serving Henderson Country, North Carolina. One of the most common calls we get is for drain cleaning, both as a preventative measure and to clear a clog. While you might try to clear a clogged drain yourself, we don’t recommend you use harsh chemicals, as that can damage the plumbing and is usually ineffective. It then makes the process of drain cleaning more hazardous, as we have to be careful the chemicals don’t get splashed back on us or into your kitchen or bathroom.
You should know that not all drain cleaning is done as thoroughly as it should be. We have often been called to homes that already had one plumber come out who didn’t solve the problem. It isn’t enough to just push the blockage a bit till water passes and call it a day. Our professionals take care to remove anything that has caused the blockage and thoroughly clean the drain lines so you won’t need to call for the same problem again in just a few days. We are also more than happy to discuss any conditions that exist that you could change to avoid a reoccurrence. Of course, regular drain cleaning is your best defense, as things that would easily adhere in the drains if they were coated with gunk will slide right through if the drains are properly and regularly cleaned.
If you have any questions abut drain cleaning, either as a preventative measure or to resolve a clog, don’t hesitate to contact us. As a full-service plumbing company, we can also resolve any other problems you might be having or install new fixtures during a renovation or upgrade. Call today to learn more.
