Troubleshooting Drain Problems In Your Denver Area Home

The drains in my Denver area home keep getting clogged. Why?

Usually drains are clogged because people are not careful of what they put in them, especially in the kitchen. Often, liquid materials like grease and oil are poured down the drain, solidify and cause clogging. To avoid this problem, let grease and oils cool and solidify, then recycle them properly.

Other drains, like in the bathroom, get clogged because of hair and the oil residue from soaps and shampoos. To stop hair from clogging drains, purchase a ‘hair catcher’ to place over the drain. If you experience a stubborn drain problem call us for help.

In homes built before 1970, tree roots are attracted to nutrient rich sewer lines. The roots get in to sewer lines and clog the sewer pipe causing backups and poor sewage flow away from your house. Older homes sewers were built with clay pipes. Clay pipes are brittle and have joints that are prone to tree root infiltration. We can help clear and repair your sewer line.

Preventing drain odors in your Denver home

Drains, especially kitchen drains, can become coated with grease, oil, and food residues. In order to ease build ups, you can run very hot water through your drains to reduce and remove build up. You can also try these other ways to keep your drains odor free:

• Once a week pour a handful of baking soda and hot water down the drain
• Pour 1 cup of vinegar, let stand 30 minutes and then run some hot water
• Use cold water at all times when the disposal is operating
• Grind ice cubes to clean, lemon peels to freshen
• Read your maintenance manual
