Can an Older Sewer Still Undergo Sewer Cleaning?

Monday, January 9th, 2023

This is an interesting question, and one we’d like to answer in a full blog post. An old sewer is going to be constructed out of different materials from a new one, and it’s likely prone to different problems. However, the answer is still going to be yes. An old sewer system will still benefit tremendously from sewer cleaning in Appleton, WI.

But if your sewer seems to be running just fine without leaking anywhere, then it might need cleaning to remove any clogging materials.

Monday, December 12th, 2022

We mentioned in our last blog how drain cleaning chemicals should be avoided if you’d like to extend the lifespan and functionality of your drains, but we didn’t really get into the details. There’s a wide variety of drain chemicals at hardware stores. Some of them are acidic, some are caustic, and others are just… well… we’re not really sure what they are. And that’s the problem.

Drain chemicals don’t take the precise, surgical approach to your drain clog that a professional plumber would. Pros are humans, people who can locate your drain clog, determine what’s causing it, and provide a solution that won’t hurt the lining or interior material of your pipes. Drain chemicals are like weapons; they operate by destroying everything in their path–without precision or discretion–whether it’s a drain clog or your pipe lining. Your best bet is to hire a plumber for drain cleaning in Appleton, WI and here’s why.
