Winters in Bryan Mawr, PA are as brutal as they come, and they can be especially hard on the plumbing system in your home. Frozen pipes, stubborn clogs and other problems are common during the winter months, and a big part of preventing them means getting rid of any existing clogs before the first freeze sets in.
Food particles, caked-on soap, used toothpaste and other materials can build up in your pipes over the course of years in some cases. They could cause considerable damage if they’re allowed to freeze in the pipes: increasing the possibility of frozen pipes, which can eventually burst.
That makes now an excellent time to schedule a thorough drain cleaning, to get rid of that build-up before the first frost. A trained plumbing technician can use a number of different tools to perform the operation, tailored to your specific needs.
That includes a few new tricks, such as video camera technology, which runs a tiny camera on a line down the drain to examine it all from the inside out. It gives us an unprecedented look at potential problem spots, as well as determining whether formal drain cleaning is needed (and what manner of cleaning might suit your needs best). Not only does that reduce the amount of time and effort involved, but it ensures that the drains are cleaned.
When you factor in the high cost of addressing frozen pipes — and burst pipes, which are even worse — and the worries you may face on that front when you go out of town for the holidays, it makes sense to get them cleaned as quickly as possible.
