Your drains are a crucial part of your plumbing system. They move wastewater safely away from your home, but just like any kind of system, they can run into issues. Over time, your drains can be susceptible to wear and tear. You might deal with clogged drains, root intrusions, or simply breakdowns due to old age. Knowing the basics of drains and drain repairs helps you keep your system in good condition and avoid costly damages.
Drain systems are a network of pipes that move water from your showers, sinks, and appliances to your main sewer line. When this network is damaged or clogged, you’ll notice things like slow draining, standing water, foul odors, and strange noises.
In most cases, a drain repair will be the most cost-effective solution. A licensed technician will remove a stubborn clog or fix a cracked pipe. However, sometimes a full drain replacement is needed. In instances where your drains are extensively damaged or worn from old age, a replacement may be the safest solution (and save you money in the long run).
