A properly functioning sewer system is essential for maintaining a clean and sanitary home. While regular professional sewer pipe cleaning in Summerlin, NV (at least once every 18-24 months) is necessary to address major buildup and detect any underlying issues, there are also several steps homeowners can take to reduce the risk of clogs in the first place. Discount Drain Cleaning LV shares what you can do to keep your sewer pipes clear between service appointments.
Not All Waste Should Go Down the Drain
Avoid flushing or rinsing anything that can cause blockages in your pipes. In the kitchen, grease, oil, and food scraps should be disposed of in the trash instead of the sink. In the bathroom, only toilet paper (an appropriate amount) and human waste should be flushed down the toilet. Other items such as wipes, cotton products, hygiene items, and dental floss often become the reason for clogged sewer lines, since they do not dissolve easily and can accumulate over time.
Use Drain Strainers
These simple and inexpensive mesh screens fit over the drain and effectively catch hair, food particles, and other small debris before they can get into your pipes. Make sure these strainers are a constant fixture in all your sinks, showers, and tub drains. Empty them regularly to prevent any buildup that could slow the flow of water.
Be Cautious With Chemical Cleaners
While it may seem like an easy solution to pour chemical cleaners down your drains when they are slow, relying on these products too often can actually cause damage to your pipes. They are often highly corrosive and can wear away the inside of your pipes, leading to potential leaks or even more clogs. Consider using natural sewer line cleaner alternatives, such as a mixture of baking soda and vinegar, to break down buildup.
Limit Tree Root Growth Near Sewer Lines
Trees with aggressive root systems can easily grow into and block pipes. To prevent this, make sure to plant trees and shrubs at least 10 feet away from where your sewer lines are located. If there are already existing trees in close proximity to your pipes and you suspect they may be causing issues, consider hiring a professional for tree root removal or trimming.

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.
