Every day you go about your typical routine, unaware that something sinister lurks beneath the pipes of your own home. Each day, it grows, preventing your sink, shower, and tub from draining like it should.
It isn’t an alien, a mutant crocodile, or some shapeshifting monster—it’s a drain clog! A clogged drain can become a real headache, backing up your pipes and causing dirty water to pool around your drains.
Not to fear—at KC Flow Heroes, our experts can combat disgusting drain clogs, so your appliances can function properly. But don’t wait until your drain clogs to start thinking about pipe maintenance.
Read on to learn how to prevent drain clogs from forming in the first place, and if they do, see how our experts can help with drain cleaning in Prairie Village.
How Drain Clogs Form
Your drains can become clogged for several reasons. Even if you’re not pouring pans of grease directly into the drain, residue left over on plates and silverware can eventually congeal into a large clog.
Your bathroom and shower drains may also become clogged with soap residue and hair. But how can you prevent this?
Defeat the Enemy: Preventing Drain Clogs
Our team recommends methods such as drain guards, cleaning solutions, and pipe lining. Depending on the severity of the clog and the pipes, we can recommend what would be best for your home.
- In the bathroom: Scum and hair may bind together, creating large blockages that result in slow draining. You can prevent this by using a drain guard, which prevents hair and soap scum from getting down the drain in the first place.
- In the home: We recommend cleaning the drain periodically. Many chemicals are too harsh for your pipes, so consider using a good bacteria drain cleaner, which can eat away the chemicals that bind clogs together. For the best results, however, schedule a drain cleaning with our team.
- Sewer lines: These pipes can often be blocked by plant matter and tree roots. If you want to prevent debris from clogging sewer lines, our experts can install cured-in-place pipe lining (CIPP).
We insert CIPP into your old pipes and harden it with a curing light, strengthening your pipes and reducing the possibility of clogs. The lining has a 50-year warranty, and it only requires us to dig a single hole in the ground (as opposed to the two-hole pipe bursting method). This can save you thousands of dollars.
BAM! POW! Clean! Replace!
If prevention fails and your drain becomes clogged, you don’t need to worry. Just call in the heroes! We can examine your pipes to determine the best method for cleaning your system.
Our team members can auger or jet out the drain clog. Depending on the condition of your pipes, we may opt to replace them altogether—everyone’s needs are different, and we cater our services to you!
