Floor Drain Clogged
Why do floor drains clog? well, why do we get sick? Why do we have to repair our vehicles? Why does anything happen?
Floor drains are subject for maintenance and repair just like anything else. You think just cause you can’t see something underground it should be perfect? Well think twice about that. Underground is a whole other world of broken pipes that we typically find out the hard way. You might ask yourself when? But, it’s not “when” it’s when your least expecting it and then your house floods and your in a panic.
Why do floor drains start to run slow?
Do you use your kitchen sink? Do you use your laundry tubs and washing machine? Does food, grease, lint, build-up and all other sorts of gunk get down your drains? Do bugs live in your drains? Does scum just grow? Do drain lines clog themselves?
If you’re using your kitchen sink from time to time, no matter how careful you may be, your drains will clog. It’s one of the inevitable’s of life. Just like we can’t stop the aging process no matter what we do. As for your laundry, there is so much soap, lint, detergent and dirt going down your drains constantly. Which clog you floor drains and any other drains in it’s path.
Why do floor drains not drain properly?
Once some debris gets down your drains, build up will start happening instantly. All it takes is one bend in the pipe to get clogged up partially.
Why have I been living in my house for years and just now we start having issues?
Clogged drains have nothing to do with why haven’t they clogged before. Pipes move and shift all the time especially as they age and as the ground settles over a period of time.

Floor Drain Clogged
Older drains that were cast iron have build up of scale and other deposits as to newer drains get clogged for several other reasons. Newer floor drains get clogged from us living in our homes and enjoying running water to shower, wash clothes and clean dishes. Water that we use goes into and down our pipes into our basements and then out the main line were it eventually ends up in the city sewer.
Floor drains get clogged from hard water build up, food, grease, lint and many other products that we use in our homes on a daily basis. If you have a perfect sewer system and water flows properly you won’t back up as much but should also clean your drains once a year. Just like our cars go in couple times a year for an oil change our drains need their own type of oil change as well.

roots in sewer line
Excavating any sewer line no matter how easy or hard in a pricey ordeal. Starting prices are around $2,500 for a single easy hole. If you have just undergone a major sewer repair make sure you tell your family and friends to get their sewer lines cleaned before an issue arises. Tree-roots aren’t friendly and they need to be cleaned annually.
Client of ours that get sewer lines cleaned annually are better off then the clients that call once every 3 years. Cleaning on a regular basis keeps the line in tact and roots to a control. Roots can quickly grow more then we’d like to see. In a dry season roots can grow in double speed. In years with plenty of water roots grow as well.
Ken’s Sewer Service provides quick and reliable service for both residential and commercial properties.
Our company doesn’t want to see roots like in the above picture in our line. Sewer lines that don’t have roots will have other issues like dipped lines and sag and hold debris and shifted broke sewer tile.
No matter what property you own, having your sewer line cleaned and inspected is the smart way to go.
The luxury life of a plumber
Help make your plumbing job easier and faster!
Everyone is familiar with the job and duties of a plumber. A plumber is the guy who stops leaks and installs all plumbing fixtures. Plumbers also have the knowledge to unclog any drain. People know that plumbers tend to work in dark, crowded, cluttered, tight areas. It’s not easy fitting in some spaces but we figure out a way to get the job done.
One easy way to make a plumber smile is to make sure the cabinet under your kitchen sink is friendly. Look at the pictures above, the top picture is what plumbers like to see. Plumbing in general under a kitchen sink can be confusing and isn’t always easy to deal with. Next time your going to install a kitchen cabinet for the sink make sure that wood board that runs down the middle isn’t there. Have them install it on one of the doors so when anyone is working under the sink it give them more room. By making this easier and more accessible it will first of all make the job easier and second get the job done faster which means less spend out of your pocket book.
