Drain Cleaning & Drain Repair in Colorado Springs
Your property’s drains are a primary indicator of the health of your plumbing system. Whether you own a residential home, a commercial property, an industrial site – or all three – in the Pikes Peak Region, maintain a set of clear, smoothly flowing drains is essential.
Slow or clogged drains are an annoyance but can be a sign of much more serious trouble to come. In fact, if your drain becomes blocked, bacteria can develop inside your drain and present a health concern for all involved; if your drains back up completely, the resulting dirty, standing water can be hazardous to your home or business’s occupants. Fortunately, Hardcastle Home Services has years of experience handling drains and clogs of all types and can address your drain issues quickly and efficiently.
Common Causes of Drain Clogs
Whether you are dealing with a home or commercial floor drain, sink drain, shower drain, or tub drain; your drains have been slowly collecting debris over time. Eventually, this debris gathers on the interior of your pipes and hardens, forming a deposit that can narrow the diameter of the pipe, slowing the flow of water. Often, slow drains become completely blocked, though the nature of the debris or exterior root systems that eventually blocks the drain, can vary depending on the type of drain.
The most common causes of drain clogs include:
- Cooking fats, oils, and greases
- Other oils and greases
- Food scraps
- Hair
- Mineral deposits
- Toiletries
- Exterior root systems
