Drain Installation in New Albany

Our drains go through a lot of wear and tear. They’re used on a regular basis every single day, and for the most part, don’t see a lot of upkeep or maintenance from homeowners. And while our drains and sewage system are certainly put in place so we can forget about waste and have more convenience in our lives, neglecting them can often lead to the need for repairs or early replacement.

How to Protect Your Drains

As a homeowner, you can protect your drains against the need for replacement. Keeping a few things in mind when it comes to how our brains function can greatly increase their life span and protect against major clogs and blockage issues down the road:

1. Do not dispose of trash in the drain.

While sewage material can certainly build up a blockage in your drains, it is far more common for an issue to occur when there is something solid for other particles to latch onto. Materials that don’t belong in your drains like hair, coffee grounds, rice, pasta, and large particles of food should be deposited in the trash instead of washed down the drain to protect against major clogs.

2. Do not wash grease down the drain.

Many homeowners get tricked into believing that, if washed down with enough hot water, that grease can safely go down the drain. Unfortunately, this just isn’t true. At some point in your drainage system, the grease will manage to harden back up and begin building upon the walls of your pipe. Not only does this decrease the space in your system for waste, but it also creates an ideal location for other particles to get stuck and create a blockage.

3. Watch out for tree roots in your yard.

This can be a really tricky one to notice and is more often than not caught after a certain amount of damage has already been done. Even the smallest crack in your drainage system can invite pipe-breaking tree roots to come closer with the promise of plentiful water and nutrient-rich waste. Their growth into this small crack will eventually break the pipe. If you notice that your lawn looks more fertilized – or if sinkholes begin appearing – you’ll want to contact a professional immediately.

Signs You Need Drain Installation Services

Unfortunately, even with the utmost vigilance, drains will simply need new replacements. If you’ve noticed any of the following symptoms, you’ll want to call in a professional for drain installation services. They can diagnose whether your drains only need a repair, or if you need to have new fixtures installed in your home.

  • Drains are draining slowly or not at all
  • Drains are old or corroded
  • Drains are leaking
  • Showers, appliances, and toilets are “backed up”
  • Drains make “gurgling” or “bubbling” noises
  • Drains have a strange smell
  • Fruit flies near kitchen or bathroom sink
  • Increase in household pests

Whether you simply require a drain installed in your kitchen sink or need help deciding how to set up a drainage system for your entire home and yard, the knowledgeable technicians at Summers Plumbing Heating & Cooling can help.
