 DRAIN CLEANING: 

 
One of the most inconvenient problems of all is a clogged drain. The inability to flush your toilet, take a shower, or do the dishes without waste water backing up into your home or business. Drains are not meant to clog. Typically there is a reason a drain is backing up; roots infiltration, improperly installed drain line, old piping, or maybe just too much stuff or the wrong stuff was put down the drain.

At Day & Nite Plumbing & Heating our plumbers are equipped with drain cleaning equipment right on their trucks including Cable Machines and Maintenance options. We believe in using the right tool and method to suit the circumstance of your job. That is why our plumbing technicians not only are ready to proceed with unclogging your drain when they arrive on site, but they have other modern methods and equipment available to them to help you. And, because we send plumbers to unclog your drain, our plumbing technicians are able to make a repair or replacement if necessary. That is why we consider ourselves a full service plumbing & heating company.

Sewer Camera & Locate:
With this equipment we can locate where your sewer pipe is and how deep the it is. This gives us the ability to pin point a particular problem with the pipe such as a crushed pipe or bad fitting in the ground. It is also a helpful too to see exactly what we are dealing with in a sewer drain. With the ability to visually see the problem and locate it in the sewer line. It really helps the decision process to determine if a repair is necessary, and, if so, keeps the costs down by getting a real good idea of where in the line the problem exists.

Drain Treatment & Maintenance:
Maintaining your drainage system is just as important as being careful of what is put down your drain. It is normally best to clear a clogged or slow drain by a mechanical means, such as a cable or hydro jet. Our Plumbing Technicians do have commercial strength drain treatment additives available to them as an option, but more importantly we have an environmentally friendly drain treatment that can help keep your drains clean. This product builds a bacteria culture in your drainage system that is designed to eat dead organic material. Bio-Clean is safe around pets and children and works well on sewage spill cleanup, pump chambers, septic systems, or waste systems to the city sewer.

Other options include annual drain cleaning with a cable or hydro jet. This option is often used to maintain commercial drains in restaurants, grocery stores, or factories and in residential drains to keep a compromised drain in service until a proper repair or replacement can be made.

Some heavy use commercial drains need to implement the use of a treatment injector to systematically treat a drain for heavy grease or dose with Bio-Clean.

Back To Drain Cleaning

Copper Piping systems are much improved over Galvanized. They tend not to rust through or rust shut. They do get thinner with age, use, and corrosive water. Typically copper pipe tends to pinhole through the wall of the pipe as it gets older and thinner. Pinholes tend to occur earlier on systems installed incorrectly, installed on homes using well water, or other high use or corrosive applications. Usually signs of pinhole leaks occur on hot lines first as hot water tends to be more corrosive than cold water. Often repairs can be made but usually, given the age of the system and/or how often repairs are being made it is more cost effective and less hassel to simply have a repipe done or waterline replaced.

There are also other piping material that are no longer made but tend to be problematic and difficult to repair such as blue poly waterlines and Kitec piping. There are other inferior piping materials and if this is the case in your home, though our plumbers can often find a repair solution, a water line replacement.
