4. Know for a fact that most gases found in residential drains, as per the words of the best drain cleaning services, are a derivative of methane which if released the right way just diffuses into the atmosphere and remains harmless. Problem starts say most commercial drain cleaner, when these gases collect in closed places. In the absence of much needed air, their concentrations may increase to dangerous levels which may, if not tackled on time, be fatal to human life. This, is also the gas to be found in most community sewer lines where invariably ONLY trained personnel enter and that too with proper authorization, gears and back-ups. www.ageneralsewerservice.com

5. In the case of most homes, as per the best drain cleaning service, these gases spread when the traps at the end of sinks, wash-hand basins and drains run dry. Traps, the way they are, are always supposed to be laden with water as the latter forms the barrier which does not allow the passage of foul-smelling gases from drains to enter our homes. With the traps running dry, the gases have a field-day going all over the place and making lives miserable. And why do these traps run dry? Most drain cleaning service in NJ will give you the following reasons, namely: www.ageneralsewerservice.com

6. - Traps full of debris This, any drain cleaning service, will tell you, is the most common cause! And the cause behind this is either ignorance or negligence- either of which can be dangerous. Paper, hair, make-up, plastics, cooking oils and greases etc which do not dissolve easily are one of the main reasons behind insufficient water getting stored in the traps. Result: Gases escape from the gaps in your homes! And raise a stink which refuses to die down! The answer to this is fairly simple: Be aware! www.ageneralsewerservice.com

7. - Traps un-used for a long time- especially in dry months Other than the extreme north where the weather remains cold, the rest of the country is either warm of hot- conditions which cause evaporation of water – even from your sewer-water traps! This being a natural occurrence, the answer too has to be natural. Just see to it, as a matter of habit, that these gullies have sufficient water all the time! - Traps that leak Leaking traps occur in old, unused homes. With time, the material of these traps (cast-iron in the gold old days, and plastic today), start to disintegrate, and with that water leaks and what you are left with is smelly gas! The only solution to this situation is to call in the best drain cleaning service. And of course, await the opportunity to break a sizable part of your kitchen and/ or bath area! But, it’s far better than being surrounded by smelly and often dangerous gases! www.ageneralsewerservice.com

8. - Traps that have been installed incorrectly Even a slight tilt when installing these traps can result in water slowly draining out and giving just a bit of dry space for the gases to pass through. Even the thickness of a hair is enough to allow gas to pass through! The commercial drain cleaner of your choice needs to be brought in who is sure to do only one thing. Break open the offending trap and install a new one. And this time, hopefully without any gaps! www.ageneralsewerservice.com
