San Luis Obispo County's Quality 1st Plumbing and Drains is the answer for finding what's lurking down there.

PASO ROBLES Calif., April 19, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- A clogged sink or backed-up toilet might just be symptoms of an overloaded garbage disposal, or the family toddler gleefully watching a toy spin down the toilet drain. Or, clogs might be a signal there is something else lurking somewhere deep in the plumbing. How do we know what's down there and how do we get rid of it? Hydro jetting by San Luis Obispo County's Quality 1st Plumbing and Drains is the answer for getting rid of threats anywhere in the plumbing system.

Even the most easily solved clogs can be a sign of deeper issues, especially if they persist, or are accompanied by other signs. Kitchen and bathroom sinks, shower, and bathtub drains might clog occasionally. In the kitchen grease and food particles build up and eventually slow or stop the flow. Bathing products and hair are the usual culprits for bathroom drain clogs.

What are the signs a dragon is lurking in the pipes? Unlike the dragons of fantasy lore, clogs are real. When they are neglected, or not handled properly, they get worse and can lead to damage and major plumbing problems. Noticing drain problems early and taking appropriate action is key to preventing serious plumbing problems.

• Slow drainage is the most common sign of a clog and is usually the easiest to correct without calling the plumber. Something we don't think about, though, is that every time we plunge a drain, we might be forcing the problem deeper into the pipes. A persistently slow drain is a sign something is lurking somewhere in the plumbing.

Getting that clogging dragon out of the pipes is a two-step process:

• First, find it.
• Second, hydrojet it away.

Up-to-date plumbing technology includes using sewer or drain cameras to locate problems. From clogs to damaged pipes, camera inspections are the most efficient way to locate problems so they can be repaired and get the family back to normal life as quickly as possible.

When the problem is from clogged pipes hydrojetting, the process of sending water at around 3000 psi through the pipes, quickly blasts away any blockages, including invading tree roots.

It's also important to take measures to prevent plumbing clogs. Removing them is one thing. Preventing them is the secret to trouble-free plumbing. Taking steps such as using drain screens to catch food debris or hair before it goes down the drain or being careful about what is flushed down the toilet can go a long way toward protecting the plumbing system.
