plumbing tools for maintaining drains

If you’re like most homeowners, you don’t give much thought to your drainage system – until there’s a problem.

Unfortunately, problems with your drainage system can lead to major damage, costing you time and money. Taking the time to maintain your drainage system annually is a smart way to avoid costly repairs down the road.

Hydrojetting is a popular and effective way to clear clogged or slow drains, but it’s only the first step in maintaining a healthy system. What should you do after hydrojetting to keep your drains clean and running smoothly?

Here are five tips for keeping your drains flowing freely long after hydrojetting:

Avoid using chemicals on your drain – they can damage the pipes…

Nobody likes dealing with a clogged drain, so it is easy to be tempted to reach for harsh chemical solutions.

But, be careful because these caustic chemicals can damage the pipes and actually cause more problems down the road. In this case, prevention is key – taking the simple steps to protect your plumbing can save you money and hassle in the long run.

None of us want to compromise our precious home values, so using natural alternatives that are less harmful is worth trying first. Remember: Think before you use those chemicals!

Use a plunger to dislodge any blockages before hydrojetting…

If you’ve ever had a slow-running drain or a clogged pipe, a plunger is one of the best tools available to dislodge any blockage before hydrojetting.

There are different types of plungers: the traditional cup plunger and the flange plunger. However, before using a plunger, make sure that it seals securely around the drain opening; otherwise your efforts will not be effective.

The techniques for applying different types of plungers may vary, but essentially the same principal applies – use enough force to create an airtight seal and then plunge vigorously with several short strokes.

With luck and skill, this should displace whatever is causing the blockage in your pipes.

Flush out your drains with hot water after hydrojetting to remove any residue…

After hydrojetting, it’s important to finish with one more step to ensure your drains stay clear and well-maintained – flushing them out with hot water.

The hot water helps get rid of any dirt and debris left behind after the hydrojetting process, reducing the chances of clogging or slow drainage in the future. If you’re looking for something a bit more natural, vinegar and baking soda is your best bet.

Both ingredients work together to naturally dissolve residue that might be lingering in your pipes, leaving them clean and residue-free.

Flushing out your drains with vinegar and baking soda is a great way to keep your home’s plumbing running smoothly without losing any quality in the process!

Schedule regular maintenance appointments to keep your drains clear and functioning properly…

Western Rooter & Plumbing wants to remind you that keeping up with your maintenance appointments can play an important role in the long-term health of your plumbing system. If you want to avoid expensive, potentially avoidable repairs in the future, regular maintenance can help keep your drains flowing and functioning properly by removing blockages and catching minor issues before they get out of control.

Contact a professional if you have any concerns or problems with your drainage system…

When it comes to looking after your drainage system, it’s always best to call in the help of a professional.

Trying to mend a blocked or malfunctioning drainage system yourself can be time-consuming and even dangerous.

It’s invaluable to have someone who knows exactly what they’re doing when dealing with something as important as your drainage system; a professional will be able to identify the issue quickly and offer an accurate and efficient solution.

We hope this blog helped give you tips and strategies on maintaining your drains and ensuring they don’t clog up.

By avoiding harmful chemicals, using a plunger to dislodge blockages before hydro jetting, and flushing out your drains with hot water afterward, you can keep your drainage system functioning as it should.
