Drain plumbing refers to plumbing that is specifically related to drain usage and drainage. The process of drainage occurs when wastewater is taken away from your property. A trap is the component of the drain system that traps water and prevents gas from coming out of pipes. Sometimes problems occur and these traps can malfunction or get damaged, leading to clogged drains and sinks. As a result of this flooding and hazardous waste occurs. Septic tanks also need to be pumped out every few years to prevent blockages. Drain plumbing solves these issues by taking care of all of your drainage repairs and maintenance to prevent future issues from occurring, keeping you and your home safe.
So what is a plumbing system anyway?
Most homes have a basic plumbing and drainage system. Suburban and urban residential areas obtain water and have their wastewater drained by their municipality. Modern drain pipes are usually made up of copper, plastics polyvinyl chloride (PVC), and acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS). When it comes to wastewater removal of the drainage system, each fixture has a drain line and all of the fixtures connect to a mainline. Vents, in particular, are an important component as they allow water to easily pass through frains. In modern homes, the venting occurs through the roof and is led by rubber and metal sheets.
There are single drain and multiple drain systems. Public areas such as pools and fountains have multiple drains as this is mandatory for the safety of the public. These are public areas that are more at risk of drain damaged and clogging, hence the need for multiple drain systems for increased protection. The Virginia Graeme Baker Pool And Spa Safety Act of 2008 establishes rules for consumer protection concerning pool and spa drains.
However, not every plumber knows drain issues. Not every plumber has the right equipment for drainage issues either.
People often confuse a drain plumber with a general plumber. A general plumber deals with basic plumbing issues and plumbing services relating particularly to water on a property, These include dripping taps and faucets, internal pipe leaks, basin, and toilet repairs, etc. Not all plumbers work on drains. Plumbing professionals specializing in drain plumbing are often technicians in their field with expertise relating to drain systems. Sometimes general professional plumbers may also have the expertise but lack the equipment necessary for drainage issues. A drain plumber has the equipment, especially for drain blockages. He/she will use special equipment to fix any drainage problems you have.
You may wonder why this is important for you as a homeowner or someone who is having drainage issues. Well, knowing the difference between these experts and plumbing terms will save you time and money when it comes to dealing with any drain issues you have. You’ll know existing issues and you’ll know the right questions to ask if future issues occur. You won’t risk relying on a plumber who is not specifically trained to handle drainage problems. He/she may cause more damage or not fix the existing damage in the first place. When it comes down to drain issues, you need someone skilled enough to fix and diagnose problems the first time. Good plumbing and drains are essential to your everyday life and good well-being so you want to choose someone reliable and quick.
This is one of the reasons why drain plumbing is so important.

Drain cleaning
Drain cleaning refers to the extraction of blocked or slow-running drains. If the water is your drain stands or if there are unpleasant odors, this is a good indication that you need to get your drains cleaned ASAP. Backed-up drains can eventually lead to leakage in pipes, flooding, and lots of waste issues. It is also both unhygienic and inconvenient as you will have to use another sink, bath, or resort to using another person’s home. WaterWorks Canada has a drain cleaning service that begins with a drain inspection using the latest CCTV camera to pinpoint the exact location of the blockage. Drain cleaning is accomplished with an expert plumbing tool called a “Drain Auger ” or more commonly referred to as a drain snake cleaning can be messy if you don’t use the proper plumber for the job.

The more stubborn the blockage, the more likely it is that your plumbing expense is going to be bigger. It is better to avoid a clogged drain altogether to save you time and money in the long term.
