Whether it is residential or commercial buildings, the proper functioning of the drainage system is a matter that usually does not concern us, until it concerns us for good according to Αποφράξεις Αντωνίου. Let’s change this, let’s control those that can have an unpleasant effect on the spaces where we live and work.

In fact, in the case of blockage, the damage does not only affect the manager, but those who live and work inside the building. Simply put, what one day may seem like savings, the next can be revealed as a huge expense.

What should you do to ensure a perfectly functional sewer?

1. Attention to daily drainage care

It is good to adopt some simple daily habits, which can radically help the situation. For example, you can clean leftover food from your plate before putting it in the sink. Then you shouldn’t throw papers in the toilet bowl, but neither should you throw hairs in the bathtub and the sink, so as to delay the next blockage.

2. Regular drain maintenance and cleaning

Frequent maintenance is always the best prevention. By taking care to keep your home’s drainage clean, you will prevent the problem before it grows, avoiding unnecessary expenses and removing germs in time. About 2 times a year, it is good to take care of the professional cleaning of the central drain.

3. Avoid chemical cleaners

One of the tips that all experienced blockage repair shops will give you is to avoid chemical cleaners. Although these preparations promise immediate and drastic solutions, the truth is that they gradually destroy your drain and cause damage and corrosion to the drain pipes.

4. Finding the right professional

Whatever the cause of the clogged central drain, the best thing to do is to contact an experienced professional to identify the source of the problem and deal with it at the root. Drain blockages require knowledge and special equipment that is not often available in homes, such as a drain camera.

Whether it is a business building or a home, for each sewage system its proper operation is one of the most important hygiene issues of the area, because it affects not only the administrator but also those who live or work in the building. Never neglect the maintenance of your drain because no one likes odors coming from the drain or even worse standing water created by a blocked drain because it has not been maintained properly or at all.

Improper maintenance of the sewer network or piping will, in the long run, result in frequent blockages.

Therefore, do not neglect to carry out the maintenance of your network at the right time and also with a specialized workshop for blockages of sewer networks, because what may seem like an economy one day, the next day may end up being a huge expense and a source of contamination of space.

Every sewer has its own maintenance period, because in every building the sewer is different (different construction, different pipes, different length, different use), so this does not mean that because a friend, relative or neighbor apartment building does sewer maintenance every 4 or 5 months, your own building needs sewer maintenance that often.

How many times have you been washing your hands and the water in the sink is going down slowly?

Wash the dishes with soapy water “covering” the unwashed dishes? Or even pull the faucet and think the water will come out of the basin? Surely some of these have happened to all of us.

This means something is malfunctioning.

But why does this happen?

Over the years, the diameter of the pipes decreases, because dirt, salts, organic matter etc. collects on their walls, it slowly hardens and the result is that the pipe closes over time. Therefore, by passing an object (paper, baby wipe, etc.), it can block the now narrow diameter and not let the water pass as easily as before, as a result of which it leaves more slowly and thus temporarily accumulates in the sink, in the basin , even in the well.

The first thought someone might have is that they need a blockage. True, but maybe not exactly what you need.

Network maintenance is another option, perhaps more appropriate in this case. It helps to remove any objects and at the same time keeps the diameter of the pipes in such a condition where the water will pass easily, so that blockages are avoided, which is unpleasant for our daily life inside the house.

And how is this done?

The machine either pressure or rotary passes through the entire length of the malfunctioning line (eg: kitchen line/bathroom line, etc.) or the malfunctioning network, removes objects or freshly stuck material on the walls of the pipelines, as a result of which their diameter is maintained to the extent that blockages are prevented.

The maintenance of your home’s lines or networks is a preventive measure for the proper functioning of your building’s drainage system.
