Sewer and Building Drain Cleaning
All of the drains in a typical home or commercial building are connected. Each toilet, bathtub, and sink are an intricate set of miniature water slides that lead to one big water slide which is the main sewer line that travels from the building to the sewer or septic system. Like a waterslide, these drain lines or pipes use gravity and water to carry the waste solids away from the building. In every sewer and drain line a small amount of waste sticks to the sides of pipes, especially grease, and creates buildup over time. Depending upon what that drain collects, such as food debris from a kitchen sink, it may see heavier amounts of buildup. This buildup can cause major clogging issues over time if left unmaintained. Also, the type of pipe can play a major role in the type of buildup seen in a drain line. Metal pipes, such as cast iron, is especially susceptible to rust and corrosion from the inside greatly reducing the smooth flow characteristics seen in new pipe. This rust and corrosion can increase the speed at which the buildup forms and eventually cause a major clog which could wreak havoc on an unsuspecting home or place of business.
