COMMON CLOGS

There’s nothing more frustrating than a backed-up sewer system. Here are a few primary causes for clogs
in your pipes, so you can avoid them in the future:

Condition of pipe
Items can clog your pipe, but the condition of your pipe can cause problems as well. If the hubs become misaligned it
creates a smaller space for water and waste to exit through. Pieces of the pipe ceiling can collapse and cause a clog as
well. For those instances, excavation would be required. We never recommend chemical compounds because it can burn
a hole through the pipe, we recommend snaking or jetting to solve the issue.

DRAIN CLEANING VS. DRAIN CLEARING
WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?
That one little consonant changes everything. Believe it
or not, these two services are very different, yet both are
important and necessary to keep your drains flowing.
So, why are we making such a fuss about it?
Drain clearing is the removal of a clog, followed by a

BEWARE OLD HOUSE TRAPS!
OBSOLETE DRAIN FEATURES MAY CAUSE RECURRING PLUMBING PROBLEMS
Do you live in an older home? You aren’t alone – most people in Massachusetts live in
houses that were built prior to 1989. Old homes can be beautiful, but they’re also more
difficult to manage. This is especially true if your plumbing hasn’t been updated since
the home was built.
Certain plumbing materials and parts are outdated and could cause messy, even
hazardous issues in modern homes.
Among the primary offenders when it comes to outdated plumbing is an old drain
feature knows as a house trap. Originally, house traps were designed to keep sewer
gasses out of your home. Similar to how the p-trap beneath your sink holds water to
block odors from escaping through the drain into your home, the house trap keeps
some liquids in place in your main drain.
However, with the most recent technological advancements for our drainage systems,
the main purpose of house traps is obsolete. What’s worse is that the house trap also
causes blockages and makes it difficult to inspect the main line with a sewer camera
inspection. These plumbing components should be removed and replaced by a
professional. This is especially true when they are buried in the ground due to them
being unable to be cleaned out.
