Helpful Information
Arizona is pretty arid year-round and receives relatively little rain throughout the year, so you might think that drainage and drain cleaning are not that important. However, drainage is incredibly important in arid climates to ensure that water drains properly and doesn’t flood. Keeping your drains clean and clear is a surefire way to keep your plumbing system in good condition throughout the year. With that in mind, the team at Thompson Family Plumbing & Drain is here to discuss the many benefits of drain cleaning.

Benefits of Drain Cleaning
Below are just a few benefits of investing in regular drain cleaning.
Faster Drainage
Slow drains are the number one sign you need drain cleaning. When drains drain slowly or not at all, it greatly increases the risk of flooding. Slow drains increase change your plumbing system’s internal pressure, which can cause water to back up out of drains and flood your home.
Protect Your Plumbing System
Clogged and slow drains can also increase the strain on your plumbing system. Clogged drains increase plumbing pressure, and high pressures can cause pipes to crack and start to leak. Effective drain unclogging reduces the strain on your system and extends its lifespan.
Eliminate Bad Smells
Clogged drains are also a breeding ground for bacteria and bad smells. If you notice a musty or foul smell coming from your drains, you should probably clean them to eliminate any bad odors.
Stop Blockages
Above all, regular drain cleaning stops blockages from forming in your drains and pipes. Drain blockages can cause flooding and sewer backup in your home, which can pose a significant safety and health hazard.

“Price was more than reasonable, especially last minute”
What a great local family company. Had a little issue today (Saturday). Gave them a call. The lady said she would have someone here between 3 & 5. It was at 1 when I called. 3:00 on the nose Don was here. Don was very friendly and had the broken pipe fixed in no time at all. The price was more than reasonable, especially last minute on a Saturday.

“Took care of it in no time”
Plumbing technician Dean Taylor came over last week to set up a line so I could get a dishwasher installed. I didn’t have the proper setup but he took care of it in no time! Now the installers will have no problem doing it. He was very knowledgeable and professional. I will definitely have him come back for other plumbing jobs. From start to finish everyone I spoke to was very helpful! Their customer service is outstanding!

“Gave me great peace of mind”
Great experience with TFP! They were super professional and friendly, exactly on time, fixed the issue, AND were inexpensive. I received a text when to expect them with a picture of my two technicians (Dean & Kade) AND their license numbers included in the text. This gave me great peace of mind as I am a woman that lives alone. I highly recommend Thompson Family Plumbing!

“Integrity and honesty”
I cannot say enough good things about this amazing company. We found them through reading other people’s reviews on Yelp. They have helped us with a plumbing issue and installing a new hot water heater. They are prompt, reasonable, and incredibly helpful. John’s integrity and honesty along with the rest of the crew would make it a pleasure to recommend to anyone and everyone.
