By the time winter ends, many of us are tired of the cold and ready to enjoy some time in the sunshine. Superman gets his powers from the sun, so it’s safe to say even the Man of Steel feels better when spring rolls around.
However, before the winter ends, consider reaching out to a plumbing expert in your area to clean your drain pipes. The transition from winter to spring may put an unexpected strain on your pipes, so to prevent clogs or bursts, reach out to KC Flow Heroes.
We can perform drain cleaning in Lee’s Summit to ensure your pipes are damage-free this spring. But what makes this time of year especially dangerous for your pipes? Read on—we have the answers you need.
Spring Thaws
If your underground pipes have an arch-villain, it’s probably the weather. The winter weather can freeze the water in your pipes, causing them to swell, contract, and rupture.
After all, Lee’s Summit area is no stranger to severe winter weather and snowstorms. Unfortunately, the threat to your pipes doesn’t end when the temperature rises and the snow melts. In fact, the melting snow itself can create significant difficulties for your underground drains.
As the snow melts, the water level in the area rises, which can cause foreign debris, like twigs and tree branches, to enter your pipes. To decrease the risk of this debris clogging your pipes, we recommend ending the winter with a full pipe lining service.
Pipe lining provides a complete overhaul to your underground pipe system, clearing away any existing debris that may cause a serious clog in the spring.
Spring Cleaning
Spring thaws aren’t the only thing that can cause strain to your pipes. Standard spring cleaning may also have some unintended consequences.
After the winter season comes to a close, you want to get your spring started on the right foot, so you go through the house, wiping windows and scrubbing down surfaces. However, as you flush wipes and squeeze sponge soap down the drain, your pipes can become clogged.
To prevent this, schedule a drain cleaning. Our team can clean your pipes of any existing scum and grime, so you don’t accidentally create a full clog during the cleaning process. We can also perform pipe lining, which totally restores your pipes and prevents future clogs.
Saving Your Drains This Spring
Sometimes, in order to save the day, you need to prepare for the worst.
Before the winter snow melts and the spring cleaning process begins, prevent drain clogs by reaching out to our team for drain cleaning in Lee’s Summit. We can make sure your drains are completely clear, so you can go into the new season with peace of mind.
