Drain cleaning refers to the process of removing clogs, blockages, and buildup from drains in plumbing systems. It involves using various tools and techniques to clear out debris that may be causing water to drain slowly or not at all. Drain cleaning is essential to maintain the proper functioning of pipes, preventing backups, leaks, and potential damage to the plumbing system. Common methods of drain cleaning include using a plunger, plumbing snake, or chemical drain cleaner. Professional plumbers also offer specialized services such as hydro jetting, which uses high-pressure water to scour and clean the pipes thoroughly. Regular drain cleaning maintenance can help prevent future blockages and ensure a smooth flow of water in your household or commercial building.
