Drain cleaning is a term many homeowners aren't that familiar with, even though it's recommended that you have your drains cleaned at least once a year, according to The Spruce. One of the benefits of this service is that it may help you to save money in the long run. Here are a few key ways regular drain cleaning saves you money.

Prevents Costly Clogs

If a clog is present in your drain, it can cause significant issues with using water on your property. When a clog appears, you'll need to hire an emergency plumbing service or drain cleaning company to remove it. However, it's better to invest in regular drain cleaning before an issue emerges. Routine drain cleaning helps to prevent clogs from forming in the first place, which may keep you from having to pay emergency plumbing rates to remove them.

Extends the Lifespan of Your Pipes

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, the average four-person American family uses about 400 gallons of water per day. This is a lot of water that travels through your pipes. Routine drain cleaning helps to remove buildup and residue that accumulates in your pipes. This can help to prevent the pipes from narrowing due to buildup, reduce the chances of the pipes collapsing or cracking, and extend the lifespan of your pipes.

Helps Avoid Property Damage

Lastly, a drain cleaning company helps to minimize the chances of a sewage backup occurring in your drains. This is important because if your shower, toilet, or sink backs up, it can cause significant damage to your property. When items are damaged by a sewage backup, they often need to be disposed of. After a sewage backup, you may have to call in a professional to help with cleanup and water remediation services. This type of service is expensive, not to mention the costs of replacing damaged items, so avoiding it with routine maintenance can save you money.

A drain cleaning company can be called if your drains are starting to slow down, if you already have a clog in your line, or if you'd like to invest in routine maintenance to help prevent narrowing and clogging.
