Plumbing

The pipes in your home play an essential role in your daily comfort: draining wastewater, preventing backups, and maintaining a healthy environment. However, drains gradually become clogged with hair, grease, soap residue, and debris. At Entretien Pro-Actif, we recommend regular inspection and cleaning of drains to ensure optimal flow and prevent costly inconveniences.
 

Why inspect and clean your drains?

• Prevent blockages: a partially blocked drain will eventually become completely blocked, causing stagnation and backups.

• Limit unpleasant odors: accumulated organic residues ferment and give off unpleasant odors in your kitchen or bathroom.

• Protect your fixtures: excessive pressure from a clogged drain can damage pipes, seals, and connected appliances (dishwasher, washing machine, shower).

Recommended frequency

• Monthly visual inspection: regularly check that water is draining without any noticeable slowdown.

• Preventive cleaning twice a year: twice a year, carry out a thorough cleaning to remove grease and residue.

Consequences of neglect

• Indoor flooding: a completely blocked drain can cause dirty water to back up into the kitchen or bathroom.

• Premature wear and tear on pipes: the pressure generated by a blockage promotes cracks and leaks.

• High repair costs: emergency unclogging, installing new pipe segments, or replacing connected appliances can quickly cost several hundred dollars.

• Health risk: Stagnant water becomes a breeding ground for bacteria and mold.
