San Diego is one of the most popular cities in California. With its beautiful beaches and exciting culture, it is no wonder that the real estate market in the city is as hot as its sunny Mediterranean climate. San Diego is also home to Chula Vista, a popular coastal hub for sailors, surfers, and swimmers.
Taking the keys to the front door of your home is like taking the steering wheel of a ship. You’re the captain, and it is your responsibility to keep everything and everyone afloat.
In a place that has so much fun to offer, you may find the outdoors making their way into your home. Sand, grass, and mud somehow infiltrate into showers and sink on afternoons after everyone has become exhausted from a morning of outdoor sporting. The accumulation of material in drains can cause clogs which lead to severe plumbing issues.
A clogged drain is unsafe and unsanitary, as it tends to trap most of what is meant to flow through it. Moisture is a catalyst for bacterial growth, which can lead to flooding and health hazardous water damage. No one likes to do the dishes over a rancid sink or bathe in a putrid tub. Slow-draining water is both a nuisance and a sign for an intervention.
A ship and a home both require frequent inspections and maintenance to ensure the comfort and safety of everyone in it. Neglecting your ship or home may feel painless in the immediate or short term, but doing so will amount to greater damage and higher repair costs. Cutting corners should not be performed on a home or a ship. The Titanic tragedy is a moment in history that will never be forgotten. It was not equipped with a sufficient number of lifeboats, illustrating how shortcuts can be fatal. Household drain cleaners are often considered an easier, cheaper alternative to calling a professional plumber. However, do-it-yourself methods can also be fatal. Drain-cleaning liquids are corrosive, flammable, and toxic. They can potentially cause chemical burns and respiratory difficulty if used incorrectly.
One of the best professional plumbing methods is hydro jetting. Non-invasive and non-chemical, hydro jetting clears clogged drains with water and water pressure, performed by a professional plumber with equipment. However, older homes may have weak pipes that are unsuitable for hydro jetting, which may be unclogged with snaking instead.
Always call a professional plumber if you experience a drain blockage. Incorrect or DIY methods may appear to have dislodged a blockage when in reality, it has only been displaced further down. A persisting clog can corrode and fracture pipes due to the presence of standing water rusting and rotting the pipes. Broken pipes will require repair or replacement.
Without water, sailing, surfing, and swimming wouldn’t be possible. Water cleanses, heals, and nourishes. And water that has become contaminated or stuck when it should be safe and flowing is a problem that needs to be professionally addressed as soon as detected.
