Why Drain Cleaning Is Important 

Regular drain cleaning is essential for maintaining a healthy and efficient plumbing system in your home. Over time, debris can accumulate in your drains, leading to clogs and slow drainage. These blockages cause inconvenience and can result in unpleasant odours, water backups, and potential damage to your plumbing system and home. Routine drain cleaning services can address these issues, prevent costly repairs, and keep wastewater flowing freely and efficiently out of your home. 

Professional drain cleaning can clear away buildup and blockages caused by:

• Hair 
• Grease 
• Soap scum
• Food scraps 
• Mineral deposits 
• Toilet paper 
• Small objects (jewelry, toys, cotton swabs, etc.)
• Tree roots 
• Chemical residues
• Biofilm 

Clean drains contribute to better hygiene and reduce the risk of mould and bacterial growth. Investing in regular drain and sewer line maintenance ultimately extends the lifespan of your plumbing system and contributes to a more comfortable and sanitary living environment. 

How Often Should Drains Be Professional Cleaned?

Drains should be professionally cleaned at least once a year to prevent buildup and ensure smooth operation. However, homes with heavy usage or older plumbing systems may benefit from more frequent cleanings, such as every six months. Reach out to Knight Plumbing, Heating & Air Conditioning to come up with a drain cleaning schedule tailored to the needs of your property. 

Signs You Need a Sewer & Drain Cleaning Service 

Even issues that appear to be minor, such as slow sink drains or occasional gurgling noises, can be indicative of more severe problems like clogged sewer lines. Ignoring these early warning signs can lead to significant damage and costly repairs down the line. That’s why it's important to address them sooner rather than later by scheduling professional drain and sewer cleaning services.

Eight signs you need to schedule a drain cleaning service are:

1. Slow drains: Water is draining slower than usual in sinks, tubs, or showers.
2. Frequent clogs: Your sinks or toilets clog often and easily. 
3. Foul odours: There are unpleasant smells coming from your sink or shower drains.
4. Weird noises: Gurgling sounds are coming from the drains or toilets. 
5. Water backups: Water backs up into your sink, tub, or other fixtures. 
6. Multiple affected drains: More than one drain in your home is slow or clogged. 
7. Standing water: There are puddles of standing water around floor drains or in the yard.
8. Toilet issues: Your toilet struggles to flush or overflows often. 

Our team is here to help you avoid unnecessary plumbing issues by providing professional and effective drain cleaning services in Calgary. We adhere to the highest service standards and always aim to get the job done right the first time. 

Preventing Clogged Drains

Over time, debris can build up in any drain, including hair in shower drains (especially if members of your family have long hair) and fats and food debris in kitchen sinks. To help prevent these kinds of problems, you can rely on our drain cleaning services in Calgary:

• Use a hair trap in your shower. You can get this in any hardware store and it doesn’t require any installation.
• Never pour fat or grease down the kitchen sink – especially if it is solid at room temperature, like butter, lard or vegetable shortening.
• Remove all food debris from pots, plates and pans before washing in the sink or stacking in the dishwasher.
• Use Bio-Clean safe drain cleaner regularly.

Avoid Over-the-Counter Drain Cleaners! 

Over-the-counter drain cleaners should be avoided because they often contain harsh chemicals that can corrode your pipes and are harmful to the environment. Instead, our team uses Bio-Clean, an eco-friendly solution that utilizes natural bacteria and enzymes to effectively break down organic waste without damaging your plumbing. Bio-Clean is safe, effective, and provides a long-lasting solution to keep your drains clear and healthy.
