Frequency of Drain Cleaning
How often a home’s drainage system requires cleaning will depend upon household habits. It is common for households utilizing a garbage disposal to require more frequent cleaning than those that do not. Furthermore, in household’s where family members routinely pour food particulates, oil, grease and fats in the sink, or shave in a sink, rather than a basin that is emptied outdoors, the drain and sewer lines will require cleaning more often.
Otherwise, in the average household, professional drain cleaning every 2-3 years will be beneficial. Using prudence in what goes down the drain will reduce the required frequency of drain cleaning.

The Advantages of Periodic Drain Cleaning
Periodic drain cleaning from Benjamin Plumbing ensures that drain and sewer pipe drains smoothly and efficiently. In addition, it significantly reduces the risk of plumbing issues, such as broken drain pipes or sewage backup, and the health hazards involved. With periodic cleaning, and observing clog prevention guidelines, the risk of these disasters occurring is minimal. Periodic drain cleaning reduces potential damage to the home and its foundation from overflow, while preventing drain odors.
Garbage Disposal
Observe disposal recommendations. Do not use the garbage disposal for hard foods such as bone, peach seeds, or cherry pits, stringy or fibrous foods such as chicken skin, celery, greens, cornhusks, banana peels, onionskins; or starchy foods that can swell and clog the drain such as rice or pasta. Do not place paper, foam meat trays, plastic, glass, or metal into the disposal.
Turn the cold water on before using the garbage disposal, let it run during its use, and allow it to continue to run for 20 seconds or longer after you have finished. This ensures the flushing of food particles from the disposal and through the drain. Do not use hot water while the garbage disposal is operating, though it can be used at any other time. Place small, cut-up pieces of food in the disposal one at a time to prevent jamming the appliance.
Hydrojetting
When the drain or sewer pipe has grease clogging it up, high-pressure hydrojetting provides the only effective means of cleaning pipes thoroughly. In addition, hydrojetting provides an effective means of reducing the corrosion on the inner walls of cast iron pipes, providing a smoother surface for efficient flow in sewage pipes.
