Most homeowners only consider drain cleaning services when they encounter wastewater backups. 

But you don't have to wait until your drains clog to schedule a drain cleaning service. Scheduling regular drain cleaning services can help prevent your drains from clogging. Furthermore, regular drain cleaning can help you save money in various ways. 

Here are three ways regular drain cleaning services help you save money. 

Preventing Frequent Drain Clogs 

If a plumber only uses regular drain unclogging techniques such as snaking and plunging, the clogs don't completely disappear.

Plunging and snaking agitates a clog, allowing the wastewater to pass through. Hence, it is a partial solution because the sludge and debris causing the clog remain in your drain pipes. As a result, it is only a matter of time before the sludge and debris re-assemble and cause another clog. 

Because of the above reason, most homeowners encounter frequent clogs. But frequent clogs can become an expensive affair if you have to call a plumber every few weeks or months to resolve another clog. Furthermore, the cost of calling a plumber so often can surpass the cost of a single drain cleaning service. 

Thus, when you encounter frequent clogs, it is best to opt for a drain cleaning service. A drain cleaning service eradicates all the sludge and debris in the drain pipe walls to prevent the recurrence of clogs. Hence, drain cleaning helps you save money by eliminating the need to call a plumber to resolve frequent clogs. 

Preventing Water Damage 

In the worst-case scenario, clogged drains result in wastewater backups. However, wastewater backups occur without notice. You might flush your toilet as usual only to witness the water overflow from the toilet bowl. 

Sometimes, wastewater backups happen in your absence. You might come home from work only to find your house flooded with wastewater. In such a scenario, it is easy for your home to incur severe water damage due to wastewater flooding. 

However, drain cleaning prevents the development of clogs that can cause wastewater to back up into your home. So, scheduling regular drain cleaning services as a preemptive measure against wastewater backups is advisable. 

Regular drain cleaning services can help you avoid water damage restoration costs caused by wastewater backups. 

Preventing Health Issues 

Untreated wastewater contains germs and bacteria known to cause diseases such as typhoid, cholera, and dysentery. Your drain pipes can also contain hazardous gases such as hydrogen sulfide and ammonia. 

Hence, when your drains become clogged, the wastewater and hazardous gases return to your house. In such a scenario, you become exposed to germs and bacteria and inhale the poisonous gas. Thus, neglecting drain cleaning services puts you at risk of contracting a disease.

Scheduling regular drain cleaning services prevents the possibility of contracting a disease from backed-up wastewater or sewer gases. As a result, you avoid hefty medical expenses.
