Why Do I Need Drain Opening Service?

Drain clearing is necessary when your drains won’t allow water to flow freely. As you may know, a properly installed drain should never back up. Unfortunately, overtime, general use and contaminants can put a strain on your plumbing. Known clogs can be addressed quickly, but sometimes drain clogs or backups are the sign of a much larger issue. 

Drain clearing can be a preventative service that helps you reduce the instances of larger, more costly, and complex plumbing issues you might face in your Cincinnati or Covington-area home.

Ignoring a clogged drain can cause many problems, including:

• Home water damage
• Extensive clogging
• Severe piping damage

Even worse, using a DIY solution like chemical drain cleaning products can cause long-term damage to your pipes, which is a much more serious situation than a simple clog. This includes brands such as Drain-O and Liquid Plumber. They can harm you, your family, or the plumber who will most likely need to be called to resolve the issue. 

Don’t try to handle the problem yourself — contact the reliable plumbers at Schneller Knochelmann for quality, safe drain clearing.

When Is a Clogged Drain a Sign of a Minor Issue or a Major Problem?

Minor clogs usually drain slowly. The sink or tub may fill, then the water will gradually recede. When this happens, plunging or applying a drain cleaner will usually resolve the problem. More serious clogs are indicated when the water keeps rising and won’t go down the drain.

If plunging and drain cleaners don’t clear the clog, it means the problem is deeper in the pipes than you can reach.
