Residential Drain Repair Services in Omaha

• Drain Trap
  • P-Trap: The drain trap, also known as the P-trap, is a curved pipe below a plumbing fixture shaped like the letter “P.” It’s designed to hold standing water and seal the drain system while preventing sewer gasses from rising into the home.
  • Toilet Trap: A toilet trap is a curved drain that functions like a sink or bathtub drain to prevent sewer gasses from entering the bathroom. It is part of the toilet and can be seen from the side of the toilet bowl unit.
• Drain Line: The main drain line is a large, buried pipe that transports household sewage to the municipal sewer line. It runs horizontally under the lowest floor of a home, typically 4 inches in diameter, and may be made of ABS, PVC plastic, clay, or cast iron. It is rarely visible due to its location under the home’s basement or foundation slab.

Sewer pipe cracks may cause major health dangers as well as costly and substantial property damage if ignored. Keep an eye out for blockages in drains, continual drain issues, water accumulating near basement floor drains, or strange sounds coming from pipes and toilets. These problems may indicate that further mainline sewer inspection, repair, or replacement is necessary.

What Can Cause Drain Issues?

A blocked or damaged drain can be the fault of a variety of different issues. Some of the most common causes of drain issues are as follows:

• Soap Scum Buildup - Soap scum buildup can lead to standing water.
• Broken or Cracked Pipe - A broken or cracked pipe may cause a foul, rotten egg-like odor to come from your drain.
• Tree Root Invasion - Should there be sewage present in the standing water, there may be a tree root intrusion in your underground pipes or a broken sewer line.
• Kitchen Grease - A buildup of grease in the kitchen can be the culprit of a minor blockage in your drain, and it is recommended that you have the pipe flushed.
• Hair - If there are small blockages caused by hair or grease buildup in the drains, they might be able to clear the obstruction by using high-pressure water to flush the pipes.

Avoiding Drain Issues

• Don’t Put Things Down the Drain - Refrain from running eggshells, coffee grinds, and other non-soluble materials through the garbage disposal. Don’t flush fat, grease, or oil down the toilet.
• Use a Drain Strainer - To collect hair, food particles, and other waste, use a drain strainer.
• Regularly Flush Drains - Use hot water to regularly flush drains to help break down buildup.
• Drain Maintenance - Preventive drain maintenance will help preserve the functionality of your drains. Consider calling Burton AC, Heating, Plumbing & More to schedule routine drain inspections with our friendly professionals.

Why Choose Burton to Repair Your Drains?

Our $99 or Free Drain Opening Special

What is drain opening? The process of opening a drain involves snaking a particular wire down a difficult drain. When the cable finds the source of the barrier, it punctures it and restores the flow of water. The blockage is eliminated in a matter of seconds because the cable is connected to a strong motor that turns a blade at the end of the line. For common blockages, such as cooking grease or hair accumulation in the bathroom, opening the drain is an easy repair. Additionally, it’s a wise choice for blockages in older, more sensitive plumbing because it’s the gentler clog clearing alternative.
