There are few things more frustrating than being forced to stand ankle-deep in your own shower water. Not only is this disgusting, but it defeats the purpose of showering to keep you clean. When this happens, it means that your tub, sink or toilet is clogged. If this problem is not taken care of, you may run into more serious problems over time. Worst case scenario, a pipe will burst and lead to your basement flooding because there are so many clogs that are backing up the system.

Cleaning up water damage can be a costly and time-consuming process. When a flood happens, you will also have to deal with the smell of sewage in your basement for hours or even days later. A drain cleaning is the easiest and best way to prevent this sort of disaster from ever occurring.

Flooding isn’t even the only thing a proactive drain cleaning can help prevent. It also means that you can have:

• A more hygienic home: Clogged sewage drains give off a sour smell. A drain cleaning eliminates those smells and means you won’t experience smelly wastewater in your basement.

• Constant water pressure: Flooding in your basement means you’re without water for a few days, but what about before the flood happens? A cleaned drain is one with good water pressure; it’s also less likely to burst and spill water into your basement.

• Smooth flushing toilets: Sewage pipes are some of the most common to burst and cause flooding. A toilet that flushes smoothly is one where you don’t have to worry about pipe damage and the flood that can result.
