Drain and Sewer Line Cleaning in Livonia

Drain issues are much more than an inconvenience. Slow or blocked drains can cause waste, food debris, and bacteria to cling to the interior surface of your sinks, bathtub, or shower. This debris can be dangerous to your overall health.

If you are experiencing drain issues in your home or business, the professionals at Birmingham Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling can help. We offer maintenance services that can help keep your drains clean, preventing clogs and build-up. If you are already experiencing problems, we have the technology to find the issue, even if it’s deep in your sewer line. No matter what the situation is, we will have the solution.

What Causes Drain Issues?

Several factors can cause drain issues that require professional cleaning. Just a few of them include:

  • Sediment buildup. Minerals and other naturally occurring elements can build up in your drain and sewer pipes over time. These elements can harden, creating a narrowing of your pipe, or a complete block.
  • Food particles, fats, and oils. Food waste is a common culprit of drain issues. Food, oils, and grease should never find their way down your drains. There is a misconception that with a garbage disposal, anything can go down the drain. This is far from the truth. You have to be mindful of certain food waste that can solidify or cling to the walls of your pipes
  • Non-flushable items. Sewer lines can often become plugged with baby wipes, feminine products, paper towels, and other debris that isn’t meant to be flushed. These items don’t break down the same way as toilet paper. They can lead to clogs and other significant damage to your pipes.

What Are the Benefits of Drain Cleaning?

Cleaning your drains and sewer lines helps to keep your entire plumbing system working efficiently. Professional drain cleaning gets deep into the pipes, flushing out your sewer lines.

Clogs are often misleading. For example, you may think you cleared a clog in your kitchen, only to find other areas of your home start experiencing clogging issues later. The cause? The clog that started in your kitchen drain just moved into your main sewer line.

With our cleaning services, you’ll never have to question if the same build-up is going to come back. We do this by providing the best in cleaning with our hydro sewer jetting service.

Why do bathroom drains get clogged so quickly?
A bathroom drain will accumulate buildup more quickly than most homeowners think, especially with everyday use, which is why we inspect them. Hair, soap scum, body oils, and grooming products can build up in the pipe, forming a thick, layered buildup along the walls. As buildup accumulates, it traps more debris, restricting water flow and leading to clogs if left unchecked.
When we service kitchen drains, we routinely observe grease, cooking oils, and food particles adhering to the inside of the pipe. This matter adheres to the walls of the pipe, forming a coating onto which all manner of debris catches. As this coating builds up, it narrows the pipe until, eventually, water can’t drain through it.
When looking at bad drain smells, we often find that some organic material is left in the pipe. Bits of food, soap, and other debris may begin to rot, and rotten material gives off gases that travel back up the pipe and smell in your home.
In sewer line inspections, we tend to find general deterioration of the system due to a number of sources, including age. Reasonable ground shifts, aging materials used, as well as tree and shrub roots, can all contribute to underground pipes breaking down and leaking.
When a number of drains in a home are gurgling at the same time. That often means a clog in the main sewer line and, since sinks, toilets, and other fixtures hook up to that line, a restriction there can affect several parts of the house simultaneously.
Routine sewer cleaning is an integral part of an overall plumbing strategy. By clearing out build-up, you allow an unobstructed passage for wastewater and take crucial pressure off the walls. In the same way you take care of your car, keeping it running with simple maintenance, you extend the life of the system, potentially saving yourself serious issues.
