And if you\u2019ve\nhad holiday parties and family visiting from out of town, your plumbing had to\nwork harder over the holidays and may have more accumulation of food and paper\nproducts than usual. That accumulation can cause slow drains that lead to clogs,\nodors, backups, or costly repairs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>You may be tempted to tackle slow sinks and clogs yourself by pouring chemical drain openers down the drain, but here are the cold hard facts: they rarely work. They leave most of the clog behind and can damage your pipes. And they\u2019re extremely toxic. You can do better!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>Saddleback Plumbing Heating &amp; Air uses hydro-jetting for the best <a href=\"\/plumbing\/drain-cleaning\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">drain cleaning in Orange County<\/a>. Hydro-jetting can remove any size clog with a high-pressure blast of water, which is safer for your family and for the plumbing system than chemicals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are several benefits to having your drains cleaned regularly\nby a professional:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It prevents clogs and slow drains<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Debris, waste, and minerals in your water can build up in\npipes over time, reducing water flow and slowing the drain. The debris can\neventually build up enough to clog the drain if left untreated. &nbsp;When water can\u2019t drain, it has nowhere to go\nbut back up, taking all sorts of waste and debris back up with it. The result\ncan be backed-up sinks and showers, which can turn from unpleasant to flooding very\nquickly. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The build up of debris can also trap water in the pipes,\nputting unnecessary stress on the pipes and leading to the growth of unhealthy\nmold, mildew, and bacteria.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It keeps foul odors out of your house<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Waste and standing water in the pipes can cause foul odors to seep up into your home. You can smell it but can\u2019t necessarily pinpoint the source. The best way to rid your home of the smell is to have the drains cleaned out properly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It quiets those noisy pipes<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When water flowing through the pipes meets obstructions, the\nresult can be squealing and popping noises in your walls. Drain cleaning can\nremove the obstruction, allowing the water to flow at normal pressure,\neliminating the source of those sounds. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">It extends the life of your pipes and save money<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Well-maintained pipes and drain systems last longer than\nneglected pipes. Poor maintenance leads to clogs and standing water that\neventually corrodes the pipes, causing leaks. Leaking pipes lead to higher\nwater bills and repair costs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Start the New Year with Peace of Mind<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Don\u2019t wait until the water backs up into your sinks! Give\nyourself the gift of knowing your drains are clean and flowing. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Saddleback Plumbing Heating &amp; Air has served Orange County since 1981. <a href=\"\/contact\/service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\">Call us to schedule drain cleaning today.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>There are several benefits to having your drains cleaned regularly by a professional.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[258],"tags":[46,69],"class_list":["post-3202","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-plumbing-service","tag-drain-cleaning","tag-orange-county"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saddlebackplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3202","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saddlebackplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saddlebackplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saddlebackplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saddlebackplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3202"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.saddlebackplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3202\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":3204,"href":"https:\/\/www.saddlebackplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3202\/revisions\/3204"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.saddlebackplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3202"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saddlebackplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3202"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.saddlebackplumbing.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3202"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
