The Financial Benefits of Preventative Drain Maintenance
You might only think of drain cleaning as an emergency service – something you exclusively need when your sink, toilet or tub is no longer draining, or when it’s backing up with unspeakably foul liquid. Not true! By regularly maintaining your drains, you won’t just avoid the horrible inconvenience of a clog or backup. You will also save money.
That’s right: regularly maintaining your drains so they don’t become fully obstructed by soap scum, hair, grease, and other debris won’t just make your life easier. It also makes sense if you only look at it as a financial investment. Here’s why!
Emergency Prevention
As you’re probably already aware, 24/7 emergency services are significantly costlier than the kind you schedule ahead of time. It’s easy to appreciate why. Any drain technician who volunteers their services at 4am on a Saturday – or interrupts their busy schedule to take care of a rush job – deserves extra compensation for their trouble.
Preventative drain maintenance won’t eliminate the risk of an emergency. Even so, it will significantly reduce the likelihood of a terribly timed backup, which can save you the added expense of immediate service.
Early Problem Detection
An attentive technician won’t just clear out a drain and call it a day. They will also notice issues that could progress into more serious problems down the road. In doing so, they can warn their client about plumbing issues before they become far more expensive to repair.
Longer Plumbing Lifespan
A clogged pipe is an unhappy pipe. In addition to causing corrosion, a clog exerts extra pressure against a pipe’s interior walls. Newer pipes may not exhibit very much damage as a result of clogging. But given enough time, any plumbing system is bound to wear out faster if its pipes become clogged frequently. Replacing a home’s plumbing system can easily cost more than $10,000. We’re certain you can think of better uses for that much money.
Better Health
A clogged pipe won’t just threaten your health if it causes a sewage backup. It is also a perfect breeding ground for a wide range of harmful bacteria species including E. coli, Salmonella and Legionella. If you want to minimize your family members’ risk of contracting a blood, lung or skin infection – and avoid expensive hospital bills as a result – then preventative drain maintenance is one of the best ways to go about it.
