Older homes can have unique plumbing challenges, especially when it comes to keeping drains clean and functioning properly. Aging pipes, outdated materials, and decades of use often mean special care is needed. Discount Drain Cleaning LV shares some key factors to consider when tackling drain cleaning in Las Vegas, NV for older homes.
Fragile Pipes
The materials used in older plumbing systems may not be as durable as modern options. Many older homes still have cast iron or galvanized steel pipes, which are prone to rust, corrosion, and eventual breakage. Cleaning these pipes requires a delicate approach to avoid causing damage, as aggressive cleaning methods can further weaken already fragile plumbing. Traditional drain snaking or hydro jetting may need to be adjusted or avoided, depending on the condition of the pipes.
Tree Root Intrusion
Older homes with mature trees nearby often face issues with tree roots growing into the sewer lines. Over time, these roots can block or even rupture pipes. Drain cleaning services, in such cases, involve not only clearing the blockage but also assessing the overall state of the pipe to determine if a more permanent solution, like pipe relining or replacement, is necessary.
Outdated Plumbing Layouts
Older homes may also have outdated or inefficient plumbing layouts. These systems may not drain as efficiently as modern systems, leading to more frequent occurrences of a clogged drain. In some cases, updating sections of the plumbing or installing additional cleanouts may be necessary for more effective drain cleaning.
It’s important to entrust all drain cleaning needs to a reputable drain cleaning company like Discount Drain Cleaning LV. With our expertise and specialized equipment, we can tailor our services to the distinct needs of older homes, making sure to efficiently address any issues and minimize the risk of damage.

I had the cartridge in my shower go bad and couldn't shut off my water. I called Walter at 6:00 am. He told me to shut off the water main and waited for him to get to my house and he fixed it in a matter of minutes, about 10-15 to be exact. I highly recommend them for any plumbing issues one might have.

We received a call from one of our tenants at a commercial retail center that all their toilets and sinks were backing up. We manage the property from out of town and rarely have plumbing issues, but now needed a plumber in a hurry. The tenant runs a childcare center and small children need access to bathrooms! After calling several companies who were too busy, one of them recommended Walter at Discount Drain. Lucky for us! Walter answered his phone immediately. He was friendly and committed to helping us out. He arrived at the property at the promised time and resolved our issue, keeping our tenants happy. His invoice arrived overnight with great detail and the price was reasonable. We won't hesitate to call upon Walter again.

Outstanding service. Was on time, price quoted was price charged, drains open and working in 30 minutes !! No mess to clean up, and was explained everything. Forget the ripoff plumbers in this city, that sell with the fear factor, and work you don't need. This is the only company to call.
