Probably a clogged drain that you want unclogged. Unstopping clogged up drains <em>is<\/em> an important part of drain cleaning, and it\u2019s a service people often call our plumbers to do. When you have a single drain or toilet clogged in your house, and a standard plunger won\u2019t take care of it, that\u2019s when you get in touch with one of our plumbers for the drain cleaning that will solve the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Drain cleaning, however, is more than simple unclogging. It\u2019s also an important <em>maintenance<\/em> job for your plumbing. If you\u2019re right now in the middle of your annual \u201cspring cleaning\u201d rituals\u2014whatever they may be\u2014we recommend you make scheduling regular <a href=\"\/drain-sewer\/drain-cleaning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">drain cleaning services in Cincinnati, OH<\/a> with our professional plumbers one of those rituals.<!--more--><\/p>\n<h2>The reasons this is an important service<\/h2>\n<p>\u201cIsn\u2019t it excessive to have drain cleaning done every year?\u201d you might ask. No, it\u2019s not\u2014because when you consider how often you need to schedule tune-ups and cleanings for many important appliances that do <em>less<\/em> work than your drains, it\u2019s easy to see why drain cleaning should be done each year.<\/p>\n<p>Consider what goes down your drains on a daily basis. Let\u2019s start with the kitchen. No matter how careful you are with keeping food particles from going down the kitchen sink drains, a large amount of organic material will still end up in the drains. Fats, oils, and grease (FOG) are the most insidious of these materials: they\u2019re byproducts of most forms of cooking, and when they cool down they turn into waxy solids. Over a year, the FOG build-up on the drains can threaten to start clogs as well as make your kitchen unhygienic. Drain cleaning eliminates this, which will not only prevent clogging trouble but will eliminate awful smells and drain flies.<\/p>\n<p>With bathroom drains, you\u2019re dealing with trouble from soap scum and hair. Drain covers can help prevent too much hair from getting down the drains, but again you can\u2019t stop all of it. Hair clogs build-up to become extremely difficult clogs to remove. Soap scum can be even worse, since chemical reactions in the soap can cause damage to the pipes. Regularly removing this build-up not only prevents clogs, it also protects the plumbing.<\/p>\n<p>Any build-up of any type, wherever it is in the house, can also cause a rise in water pressure, leading to cracked pipes\u2014or possibly even a fully burst pipe.<\/p>\n<h3>Thorough professional drain cleaning<\/h3>\n<p>Our drain cleaning services don\u2019t mean we come to your house and pour some chemicals down the drains. We don\u2019t recommend anyone use acidic chemicals for drain cleaning! Our process uses powerful hydro-jetting, which scours the inside of the drainpipes with high-pressure water. This not only removes all build-up, including hard water limescale, it won\u2019t damage the pipes. We\u2019ll leave your home\u2019s drainage system \u201clike new,\u201d and you probably won\u2019t need to call us for drain cleaning services until your next appointment a year from now.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Since 1972, Ken Neyer Plumbing, Inc. has <a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">served the Greater Cincinnati and the surrounding Tri State area<\/a><\/strong><strong>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We recommend you make scheduling regular drain cleaning services with our professional plumbers one of your spring cleaning rituals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[72],"tags":[87,46,125],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neyerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/872"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neyerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neyerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neyerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neyerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=872"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.neyerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/872\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":874,"href":"https:\/\/www.neyerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/872\/revisions\/874"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.neyerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=872"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neyerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=872"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.neyerplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
