Alfred Hitchcock Presents debuted this day in 1955. Featuring the portly ….”Mast of Suspense” weaving tales of mystery. Homes are filled with lots of mysteries too. Like, why drain lines seem more troublesome at some times of the year than others – like now? Are your drains running slower these days? Maybe even clogged up? Here’s why drains may not be flowing free and why “Fall” may call for a look-see, Summer is both Hot and Dry and when trees get thirsty they send roots in search of water. One logical source are drain lines. Tiny roots go in through poorly sealed joints and there they multiply quickly and start catching all sorts of debris. That soon reduces flow and slows drains and ultimately leads to blockage if not removed. The solutions, during summer water generously and should drains slow, run a root-killing liquid through your lines. If that fails, in the fall have sewer lines inspected and those pesky tree roots done in by a pro.
