Drain Cleaning
Clogged Drains Can Be A Costly Nightmare!!
Clogged drains can cause serious problems. They can cause sewers to back up in manholes, toilets to overflow and not function properly as well as flooding of floor drains, etc., These drain problems can wreak havoc on your business, due to floors and ceilings needing to be replaced, limiting access to your facility due to sewer running amok causing a smelly health hazard and liability or stormwater overflowing the streets. These problems can cause a halt to production until the pipes are running correctly and proper cleanup, sanitization, and repairs have been performed.

DO YOU NEED ONGOING MAINTENCE TO DRAIN PIPES?
YES!!! You Sure DO!!
Like cleaning your teeth on a regular basis to prevent costly dental problems, or changing the oil in your car as preventive maintenance to prevent costly repairs in the future. It’s essential!!! to perform regular cleaning on your pipe systems to help reduce the frequency of collapses and blockages and prevent larger and more expensive problems from happening in the future.
Pipe cleaning maintenance can remove unwanted or unknown debris, grease, garbage, and other materials that can build up in sewer and storm lines over time. Pipe systems age quickly and deteriorate if not properly maintained, leading to an increase in clog formations, cracks, leaks, and other damage. Seasonal maintenance can help prevent storm drains from not working properly during those unexpected downpours that happen occasionally occur in this region.

We are experienced at being able to determine your maintenance needs. We will discuss your unique needs and come up with a plan of action that will help maintain your drain pipes and not break your budget.
Information as to Why Chemicals Should NOT be Used to Unclog a Blocked Pipe Line.
When a drain gets clogged, it can be tempting to turn to chemical drain cleaners for a quick and easy solution. Here are several reasons why you should avoid chemical drain cleaners:
Damage Pipes: Chemicals strong enough to clear clogs are extremely damaging to a pipe’s structure. The chemical dissolves the blockages, which ends up corroding your pipe in the process and causing severe damage. Corroded pipes can contaminate the water, cause severe clogs, breakages, and damage.
Not Always Effective: Chemical drain cleaning only works on materials such as hair and grease, however mineral blockages or large solids will not clear out the clog and will only end up damaging the pipe.
Harmful for Your Health: Contact with chemicals causes burns on your skin, are hazards to inhale, irritates to eyes, and damage to clothes.
Bad for the Environment: The chemicals in drain cleaners are toxic to the environment. Once poured down the drain, the toxins enter the water stream and negatively affect the wildlife and plant life that it encounters.
Chemical drain cleaners will only cost you more in the long run and are detrimental to the environment, and potentially your health. Please, don’t use chemical drain cleaners.
