When the sewer stops flowing at one\’s home, it is just a matter of time before there is a huge mess. Fortunately, there is hope. A drain cleaning service is usually able to clear the drains so that the waste created in the home flows freely once again.

Waste water drains work using the force of gravity. Most of the waste lines are installed with a gentle slope. The gentle slope is used to encourage the water to move flush solids from the lines as it moves through them.

If a single pipe is not draining, the problem is likely in the trap that serves that fixture. The problem could be hair (especially in a tub or shower) or grease (in the kitchen). With single pipes that are not draining, there are several home remedies that prove effective. If accessible, the trap can be removed, cleaned and reinstalled to restore drainage to the fixture. Be sure to provide a large enough container to collect any water that is trapped in the sink.

If all the drains in the home are malfunctioning, the problem is likely with the main line that takes waste out of the home. When main lines are plugged, most home remedies are not going to work to clear the pipe. In this instance, the best option is to call for professionals that can clear the line of the accumulated debris.

Normally, the system works very well, however occasionally some of the solid material hits a small snag in the pipe and stops moving. Once the first solid is snagged those that follow are also caught. Over time, enough material is caught to stop the water from flowing. It is at this point that most people call for help.

Drains may be cleaned in several ways. Once simple tool attaches to a water hose. The device is placed in the line and the water valve is opened. The tool swells with water pressure to form a seal and move the material down the pipe using water pressure. Once the plug is moved, free flow is restored to the home.

In many instances, the snag that catches the solid waste in the beginning may be a tree root that has grown through the pipe. If this is the case, the root is likely to continue to collect solids and create more problems. A rooter is a plumber\’s snake that has a cutting head on the end. This device is designed to cut through roots to open the pipe and prevent further problems, at least until the root grows back.

Use of a drain cleaning service can preserve the landscaping and lawn of the home. In many instances, a line can be cleaned with no digging by accessing a pipe through a clean out. If no clean out is available, the professionals may need to remove a toilet to clean a line or dig a small hole in the yard to install a clean out that gives access for removal of the debris from the line.
