Common Problems with Storm Drains

Wednesday, March 5th, 2014

Here in California, we don’t normally get a lot of rain. Unfortunately, that often means that our civic drainage systems are unprepared for any kind of serious storms, like the kind we experienced at the beginning of the month. Storm drains exist to prevent the kind of flooding that heavy rains engender, keeping your property safe and dry during even the biggest winter storm. Here in Glendale, drain cleaning services can install a storm drain for you, as well as correcting with your existing storm drain. Common problems with storm drains are usually something a trained expert can fix.

Most storm drain problems all stem from the same source: clogged or overloaded pipes.  Clogs can occur via build-up in your system, damage to the pipe itself, and saturation of the ground, as well as more direct causes like tree roots or even animals lodging debris at the grates. When rain storms hit like they did at the beginning of the month, those clogs can quickly turn disastrous, leading to all manner of serious problems. What kinds of problems? The most troubling is flooding, which can severely your yard and basement, and lead to a great deal of costs to repair. Yard erosion can be a particularly big problem, especially if your home is on a hill or somewhere else with higher elevation (very common in Glendale)

In some cases, storm drains that are too small can also cause flooding problems. This is actually fairly common in California, where we consistently underestimate the severity of our rains. In any event, the result is much the same as it is with clogged storm drains: flooding, backing up and wreaking havoc on your property in the process.

Benefits of Regular Drain Cleaning

Monday, November 11th, 2013

You probably don’t give them much thought, but it would be difficult for any homeowner to carry out many of their necessary daily tasks without the use of a good drain system. Your drains dispose of many tens of thousands of gallons of water every year which can cause a lot of wear and tear on them that often leads to clogs, cracks, and leaks. Here at My Drain Company Inc we offer total drain cleaning in Glendale, CA and we wanted to share some of the benefits.

Why Get Regular Drain Cleaning in Glendale, CA

When you sign up for a drain cleaning plan, you will usually get annual visits from your plumber. Here at My Drain Company Inc, our plumbers will use our hydro jetting and video camera pipe inspection technology to clean out your drains and inspect them for problems like leaks and clogs. Doing this has several potential benefits.

  • Fewer repair – Plumbing problems usually develop slowly over time as your drains operate. It isn’t until they reach a “critical mass” that they actually start to impact your daily life. You may notice that your drains are slow, that they’re making noises, or producing foul odors. But if you get your drains cleaned on a regular basis, you could be able to avoid many common types of repairs by finding the cause of the problems early.
  • Better performance – It’s frustrating when you’re trying to do dishes and the water won’t drain or when your laundry machine doesn’t drain completely. These problems are caused by clogs in the drain slowing it down. In order to keep your drains flowing freely, drain cleaning is necessary. Regularly removing clogs will keep your drains nice and clear so that they can quickly drain away your waste water.
