What Is a Drain Cleanout?
Most newer homes and older homes with new plumbing have two drain cleanouts, one on either end of the main sewerage pipe. A cleanout is an exterior access point for your home’s main sewer line. Sometimes they may be hidden just beneath the dirt, mulch, or a concrete slab. However, many homeowners can find their access by identifying a square piece of PVC that sits just above the ground. The primary purpose of a drain cleanout is to allow easy access to your home’s sewer line without entering your home.
What Are the Benefits of a Drain Cleanout?
There are numerous benefits to installing and maintaining your home’s drain cleanout for both the homeowner and plumbing professional. Our plumbers can help you understand the benefits of keeping your drain cleanout clear for usage.
- Avoid Water Damage - With an exterior drain cleanout, it’s less likely you’ll experience water damage in the event you do have a clog in your drain.
- Faster Service - If your home doesn’t have a drain cleanout, a plumber will need another access point, usually a toilet. The toilet needs to be removed, which takes time and money.
- More Sanitary - With a drain cleanout installed on the exterior of your home, you won’t have to worry about accidental sewerage spilling into your home. This keeps you and your family safer.
