3 Things You Should Never Do That Can Clog Up Drain Lines

You may be wondering why the toilet is not emptying upon flushing, the kitchen sink continues to fill on water pour instead of draining away, or the washroom drain might be creating a flood. The cause behind all these is quite simple however difficult for us to resolve on our own. When a sewer or drain line gets clogged it restricts fluid from passing and flowing freely, disabling day to day normal usage. There can be several reasons behind drain line blockages, which you must avoid at all times to safeguard the drain lines from getting blocked, some of them are described below.

Accumulation Of Debris

The gradual accumulation of fatty/greasy food stuff or accidental plastic breaches in kitchen drain lines cause drain line blockages. While you may be wondering what is wrong in there since no issue seems to appear visibly, so you pour hot water and it does nothing to relieve but the water continues to store in the sink. This calls for the service acquisition of an expert who can assess the issue and help resolve it. The plumber will extract or dissolve the debris in order to clear up the drain line.

Make sure you use a dustbin to discard all the greasy stuff instead of draining it in kitchen sink drain. Also use basket strainers over your kitchen sink drain to avoid big pieces of non-dissolvable items from falling into the, and getting stuck in the drain line.

Non-Dissolvable Items

Using drain and sewer lines as a dustbin creates blockage issues.

Since items that do not get diluted with water can cause serious trouble in sewerage lines. Inappropriate discarding of paper towels and wipes in toilet systems leads to water not being able to dissolve it which means the items will continue to deposit at any place in the line and then eventually block it. While the issue can be avoided by one from occurring in the first place but if it has, then you will need Ottawa Plumbing Services from an expert plumber to unblock the sewerage line.

Roots Creating Hindrance

 Small trees, shrubs or roots can penetrate sewer pipelines while looking for water, breaking and blocking the pathway in the pipeline. This needs removal and repair process done by an expert, who will start with camera inspection to assess the blockage in the line so the area where the ground needs to be broken from can be done properly. After that the removal of the tree or root will be done to release the blockage and the pipe will be repaired. For the best blockage removal and pipeline repair you need an expert to perform these Ottawa Plumbing Services, since you can never do this on your own, without adequate equipment, tools and of course knowledge.

Although this issue is not very much in your hands to control if you are a tenant using a place, however, if you are having your home newly built, you must make sure with your builder that no trees should be present within a wide space from where the new lines will be placed.
