Corona Drain Clearing

Getting Water Flowing Again in Corona

When it comes to plumbing in Corona, few things are as important as the drain. These areas are not only where wastewater flows out but also serve as the link between your fixtures and the rest of your pipes. So, when one becomes damaged or clogged, it won’t take long to notice a problem. This can be something as noticeable as a backed-up sink to as subtle as a slow-draining bathtub. Still, whether the problem is big or small, it’s important to give it immediate attention.

Clogged drains can cause lowered water pressure and complications throughout your plumbing system. These universal symptoms can make it difficult to pinpoint the origin of the problem. Luckily, as someone who lives in the Corona area, you have access to Authority PHA’s plumbing experts. Our local plumber will quickly pinpoint the root cause of your clog or drain problem and present a customized solution.

To clear that stubborn drain in Riverside or Yorba Linda, reach out to us by phone or fill out our form.

Signs You Need a Drain Cleared

Blocked or poorly functioning drains can be a major source of frustration for homeowners in the Corona area. The larger and more stubborn a clog gets, the more expensive the plumbing issue will be to repair. That’s why it’s vital that you know the warning signs of a drain issue. These telltale signs include:

  • Water backing up in or outside your home
  • Sudden, frequent leaks in your home
  • Slower than usual draining of tubs or faucets
  • An unpleasant odor coming from your drain or pipes
  • Peeling paint or staining in plumbing areas

The Trouble with Liquid Drain Cleaners

Now, before calling us, you may be tempted to handle the clog yourself. You might go as far as to pick up a bottle of chemical drain cleaner from the local store. But—though advertising implies otherwise—these toxic liquids are not safe for you or your pipes. If used regularly, these corrosive substances can eat away at your pipes, leading to a much more expensive problem.

So, while that bottle is a lot cheaper than our service call, you need to keep the following in mind:

  • Liquid Cleaners and Toilets Don’t Mix: Many chemical cleaners use heat to dissolve clogs and congealed substances. But this reaction won’t work on most toilet clogs, leaving the substance to settle on the bottom of the bowl. The increased temperature can crack the porcelain.
  • Drain Cleaners Aren’t Eco-Friendly: Though there are “green” options out there, most drain cleaners are harmful to health and the environment. Because they are so dangerous to breathe, it’s best not to use them in homes with pets or children.
  • Not a Guaranteed Fix: There’s nothing on the bottle that promises your drains will flow freely again. Some cleaners only work on certain clog types. Hiring a professional plumber, however, ensures that the obstruction will be removed. It also ensures the fix is a permanent one, not a band-aid in a bottle.

If your drain is clogged, don’t resort to chemical warfare. Just call Corona’s go-to plumbing experts—Authority PHA.

What You Can Do to Avoid Clogged Drains

There are a few things homeowners in the Corona area can do to lessen the chance of drain blockage. These simple solutions include:

  • Installing a Hair Stopper in the Shower: You’d be surprised how often a clog is nothing more than a ball of hair. Installing a drain cover or hair stopper will only cost a couple of dollars. These go between your drain and the pipe, allowing you to fish hair out before its washed into your pipes.
  • Add a Lint Trap to Your Washer’s Drain Line: You probably didn’t think about what happens to all the dirt and debris from the clothes you wash, but you should. These items are often washed out of the pipe at the machine’s back and into the sewer line. Installing a lint trap where the two meet, can prevent the fabric from clogging up your main sewer line.
  • Add a Food Stopper: If you don’t have a garbage disposal, then a food stopper is a must-have. This small piece of metal is placed over your drain to stop anything but water from flowing through. With one of these installed, the constant need for drain cleaning will go away.
  • Regularly Rinse Your Drains: Create a mixture of warm water and vinegar once a month. Pour this down the drains. Then, turn the hot water on to wash the bubbling liquid throughout your plumbing system. This will help dislodge any debris.
