FAQs about Drain Cleaning
Posted: May 01, 2012

One of the most frequently asked questions about drain cleaning is: How do roots get into sewer pipes? Answer: Many older pipes have joints that are either filled with lead or have gaskets. Over time, these joints shift and hairline cracks form around the lead or gaskets. Roots don’t need much of an opening to grow into a sewer pipe.
How quickly will the roots grow back?
There are a few variables to consider. For example, how thick the permeation is and the time of year – during winter, roots grow slower. If a plumbing technician has snaked your sewer line and successfully removed any roots, you could perhaps expect the roots to start causing backup problems again in 18 months – 2 years.
Even if my main sewer line is not backing up, should I have it periodically snaked?
If you’ve had a pattern of sporadic backups (say every other year), then preventative maintenance would be a good idea. Also, sewer and drain cleaning is advisable if you’ve just moved into a newly purchased home. Furthermore, if your home is older than 30 years, and the sewer line has never been cleaned, it would be wise to have it snaked.
I’m so careful about what goes down my drains. Why do I still get clogs?
Even the most careful person cannot prevent oils, soap and other particles from accumulating in kitchen drains, laundry drains, toilets, bathtubs or main sewer lines. Eventually, a drain will become clogged, and if it’s causing a backup, professional drain cleaning will be necessary.
