About Washington, DC Drain/Sewer Cleaning and Repair Companies

To avoid drain clogs, many homeowners take preventative measures, such as installing drain screens or strainers to keep debris from going down the pipes. Even with precautionary steps, however, sewer and drainage issues can arise and fester for years, as the majority of the plumbing work is hidden underground or behind walls. Luckily, a drain and sewer specialist can help.

Clogs are common drain and sewer problems, and the usual culprits are food (especially grease) and hair; however, other materials can also impede drainage. Limescale is the mineral buildup often found in pipes from homes with hard water. Over time, limescale can lead to corrosion and further pipe damage. For common sewer clogs, one of the most common culprits is tree roots that grow into the pipes, but another factor could be the pipes themselves. Homes built before the 1960s often have clay tile or cast iron pipes, not the modern PVC pipes that are used today. Clay tile pipes last for less than 50 years, and when the pipes crack, they become susceptible to clogs from tree roots.  

Professional contractors have the equipment to effectively clean and repair damaged sewers and drains, including video cameras and water jetting systems. For professional advice, homeowners should contact the Best Pick Drain/Sewer Cleaning and Repair companies listed below.
