You hear a lot about plumbing in relation to the water and waste disposal devices in the home, but more often, many hear about the clogged up drains. Many would say this is one of the number one plumbing issues a family will deal with pretty consistently. It’s also the one thing that many avoid trying to fix thanks to the extra slab of bacteria you get when you start pulling out all that long hair that’s providing a bacterial scaffolding as it hangs sometimes 3-4 inches down in the drain, slowing the water flow and ability to drain.
The Uninvited Bacterial Shower Soaking
Drains that clog up from hair to the million other things we throw down it, can cause a nasty solution of backed up hair and a complex of soap resistant bacteria to back up into the already blocked/floating puddle of water in the tub up to your ankles. This creates a puddle around your ankles that is pretty disgusting when you realize how much bacteria is touching your feet and ankles from the dark side of the drain!
This bacteria can be sucked back into the tub as you move around sloshing the water around creating a current. This creates a suction at the drain which has some flow for the water to escape from but not enough to create a good (draining) flow to sufficiently drain the tub in real time. As air reaches the drain and water flows, then quickly stops again this back and forth motion of the water sucks that nasty built up bacteria out of the drain and into the water, the warm water that makes for a less than desirable shower environment (unsanitary).
With the prospect of your tub backing up and other drains in the home potentially clogged by years of build up and no maintenance done, Drain Cleaning in Perry Hall should be considered. You can call out a company like to come out and completely clean out your drains and plumbing in those drains so you start fresh with a clean and powerfully clean drain. You would be surprised how much nicer everything flows in the bathroom sinks, kitchen sinks, bathtubs and even the drain for the toilet, when nothing is in there mucking it up. Many don’t realize the potential their drains have because they never experienced them clean!
