How often should I have my drains professionally cleaned?

The frequency at which you should have your drains professionally cleaned can vary depending on several factors, including the type of drain, the usage patterns, and the condition of your plumbing system. However, as a general guideline, it is recommended to have your drains professionally cleaned every 1 to 2 years.

Regular drain cleaning helps prevent clogs, reduce odors, and maintain the overall health of your plumbing system. If you notice any signs of a drainage issue, such as slow draining, recurring clogs, or unpleasant odors, it is advisable to have your drains cleaned sooner rather than later.

Certain situations may warrant more frequent drain cleanings. For example, if you have a large household with several occupants, or if your property is prone to tree root intrusions or other external factors that can lead to frequent blockages, you may need more frequent professional cleaning.

Additionally, specific drains may require more frequent attention. For instance, kitchen drains that often deal with grease and food debris might benefit from more frequent cleanings compared to bathroom drains.

Ultimately, it's best to consult with a professional drain plumber like our team at Zoom Drain of New England who can assess your specific situation and provide tailored recommendations for drain cleaning frequency based on the condition of your plumbing system and your usage patterns.

    “My sewer pipe backed up on a Sunday, my usual plumbing company doesn't work on weekends so I called Zoom Drain, I had used them before for sewer issues. Rob M. was able to come within 2 hours. Rob was wonderful, he was very thorough determining the cause of the problem which turned out to be tree roots which he cut and removed. Because my home is 65 years old my pipes and fittings were a challenge but not for Rob he worked really hard to make sure all my lines were clear and would not leave until he was sure the issue was resolved. Rob was friendly, professional and very knowledgable at what he does. I highly recommend Zoom Drain and thank Rob very much for all his help and hard work, Rob you made an unpleasant and stressful situation much less scary.”
