Sewer and drain repair and maintenance company Chapelwood Home Services, based in Newton, NJ, has released new information designed to help homeowners clean their own drains. There are many excellent products out there, as well as products or behaviors that will only make the situation worse. The company aims to make sure homeowners are less likely to have to call out an expensive repair service, instead being able to make do with regular servicing and cleaning and some DIY methods. Further information is available on the company's website on http://www.chapelwoodseweranddrain.com.
Matthew Miglin from Chapelwood Home Services says: "It is inevitable for a drain to get blocked every once in a while. Most of the time, however, this is something that can be solved very easily, without having to call out a professional. However, the list of products that can be used it so large that it can be somewhat overwhelming to decide which one to choose. We have released new information to help people make the appropriate decision."
The first thing people are told to find out is what the level of blockage is, as this will determine to a large extent whether or not they can fix it themselves and, if so, with what. People often turn towards enzymatic drain cleaners, but these are only suitable for smaller blockages, as they dissolve whatever is blocking the pipe slowly and over time.
"We have actually seen some people find the blockage in their pipe, only to then try to resolve it using a drill because that is what they have seen plumbers do," adds Matthew Miglin. "While it is certainly true that plumbers use drills, they are made specifically for this type of work and the plumber knows exactly what they are doing. If cleaning products don't work, we really recommend people phone us, rather than attempting these types of repairs."
Chapelwood Home Services is working together with another local plumber, http://www.sewercleanernewton.com/, to address septic tank issues. They want to encourage everyone with a septic tank to be particularly mindful of the cleaning products they use. This is because many of the chemicals included in drain cleaning products can actually interfere with the septic tank's performance.
