It is called pipe plumbing, drain snake, sewer plumbing, plumbing snake, rooting out, reeming out, roto-rooter and more. Basically, a tightly wound cable kept on a reel is equipped with blades and pushed through the line. The blades rotate along the inside of the pipes, cutting away any debris in the line and pushing it to its exit. When an overgrowth of debris is in a line, it restricts water’s passage, causing slow drains or sewer water back-ups. Drain cleaning clears the clogged drain.
Catch pipe-clogging hair, lotion and soap by keeping them out of the drain by using a strainer, and clean the strainer regularly.
Put a trashcan in the bathroom near the toilet: diapers, feminine products and even facial tissue don’t belong in the toilet.
Stringy food items and grease don’t belong in the kitchen sink. Pour fats and cooking oils in a fat disposal jar, not down the drain where they can solidify.
Most of the time, that sewer smell is the result of a dry trap seal. Traps are designed to stop odors from entering the house when they are wet. Try running water in every drain at least once a month.
To freshen a garbage disposal, run some ice cubes and citrus rinds through it periodically with cool water.
Be sure to change your furnace's filter regularly.
If you tend to have a problem with roots in your line, consider a preventative maintenance sewer cleaning service to prevent a back-up.
Check your air-conditioning unit or evaporative cooler for debris.
The trick is to try to catch it before the cold weather hits. Pipes that are in unheated areas, such as crawlspaces, on north-facing walls and in garages, are the most likely to freeze. Try to insulate them or create a temperature in the area of no less than 55°F. Drain sprinkler lines and outdoor water faucets. In extreme cold, allow cold water to drip from the faucet that's served by exposed pipes. Remove your water hose from the outdoor faucet.
