It’s that time of year again–you’re hosting guests, from aunts and uncles to godchildren and everyone in between. The family gets together at your house, but your plumbing system may not be ready for it.
Your drains, in particular, undergo a lot of use during the holiday season. If you haven’t had drain cleaning or maintenance of any kind in recent years, they’re long overdue for a bit of work. Here’s why you’ll want drain cleaning services before those guests come knocking.
We’ve all seen commercials for drain cleaning chemicals before. They show abhorrent 3D mockups of what they want you to believe goes on in your pipes in an effort to simplify everything about your drains.
Chemicals don’t fix problems; they act as a short-term remedy for the immediate problem (clogs), but fail to provide a viable long-term solution. Most of the time they cause damage to your drains that result in bigger issues down the road. Here’s why these chemicals aren’t a proper replacement for professional drain cleaning services in Bellingham, WA.

If there is any problem that is pretty common among homeowners, it’s the problem of a clogged or dirty drain. Whether your drains are sluggish, completely backed up, or have a lingering odor to them, it’s not something you can ignore.
Of course, you might think the answer to addressing these troublesome drains is that bottle of store-bought liquid drain cleaner you keep on hand from the store. Unfortunately, however, this might only exacerbate the problem. Ironic as it is, the materials used in these “drain openers” only dissolve some types of clogs, and can actually create blockages of their own.
Additionally, the chemicals used in these “solutions” are caustic and can actually start corroding your drain pipes. Lastly, if you have multiple drains clogged, this is actually pointing to a problem much deeper–with your sewer line–and store-bought drain cleaners aren’t going to do much, if anything, for this kind of problem. Read on to learn when you should call on the pros for your drain and sewer issues.
It’s our hope that you made it through the holiday season without any huge plumbing mishaps. After all, it’s the most popular time of the year to need a plumber, whether it’s for clogged plumbing in the kitchen or in the bathroom of your home. Water heaters tend to get a lot of wear this time of the year too, as homeowners tend to have more guests using their showers and such.
Of course, the holiday season isn’t the only time of the year you can have a plumbing problem, particularly a drain clog. In fact, this is one of the most common reasons homeowners call a plumber in our area–and you should call a plumber!
It’s important that you not rely on store-bought drain cleaning chemicals when experiencing a clog, as these are very caustic and can actually do more harm than good for your plumbing system (more on this below). In the meantime, there are some things you can do to prevent drain clogs from forming, to begin with. Read on to learn more.
