Stopped Up Drains

This is one of the most common problems for every homeowner. After a period of time most drains will have a build up of wasted material in their lines.In most cases it cannot be helped.When this happens if you catch it early you can solve the problem by flushing the drain out with cold water.Lots of it.Most people wait until it`s too late and then try to unstop it with liquid drain cleaners  that they can buy at the local grocery store or hardware.Be careful with these because most of these have acid in them and can hurt you if you use them in the wrong way.The acid can also cause damage to your plumbing pipes and it will kill the good bacteria in your septic tank .If you are on sewer  it can remove the bottom layer of the pipe causing it to break down and have to be replaced.

Most of the time if you cannot unstop it with your plunger you will have to have it unstopped with a motorized drain cleaning machine.This is where your professional plumber comes in.It takes many years to learn how to operate these machines.They come in many sizes depending on what type and size the drain pipe is.If you try to do this yourself please be very careful because the cable is very strong and can wrap around you causing serious injury.Brad Hinton Companies has been unstopping drains  since 1973.Our service men are some of the best in drain cleaning,it`s one of the most common tasks that we do.

We have a product that you can use to help keep your drains from stopping up.Also it does not have acid in it.A 2 pound can of this product can treat up to 100 drain lines.If used properly you can stop having drain stoppage problems.This product is called Bio-Clean.We`ve be selling Bio-Clean for over 20 years.

If you have a drain that has roots growing in it we have a product called Root-X that will help stop the continued growth of the roots.After unstopping the drain with an electric cleaning machine you pour Root-X into the line and watch it foam up coating the entire pipe.This is different root killers.Roots enter from many different places and the Root-X  will find the roots and destroy them.You have to use it within 60 minutes after unstopping the line.The reason for this is the cable will cut the root to make it bleed,that`s when the Root-X goes to work.
