In our today's lives cleaning and hygiene has become more important than "Roti Kapra aur Makaan" because "Jaan hai to Jahan Hai" have used a mix of some Indian old saying in today's context of our living. Be it our home or office, cleaning & hygiene is very important for every one of us. We have this cleaning and sanitization exercise every day in our homes and almost periodically every hour in our offices, all due to the number of footfall and frequent visitors in an office. Similarly, our washrooms, pantry, cafeteria, kitchen too gets all the cleaning done every day in a house and every hour Maintenace in office for us to live in a clean & hygienic place. "All that Glitters is not Gold" fits here, all that we do take care of is what is visible through our naked eyes, if we see pests roaming around in the house or an office, we get the pest control done for cockroch, termite, mosquito, flies, drain and fruit flies etc. A very few of Indian Household i.e only 5% of Indian Population takes care of proactive pest control in Urban Cities primarily but when it comes to maintenance of the unseen drain lines that contains grime, gunk, algae, decomposed food carrying pathogens, harmful gases sometimes throughout the day, we ignore its cleaning and sanitization untill it's overflown. The proactiveness percentage comes down to 0.1% of the population in this case. Hence untill unless the drains overflows, 99.9% of the population do not get the maintenance cleaning done in even the Urban Cities. A blocked drain or a unclean kitchen drain and washroom drains are breeding ground of harmful bacterias and this can cause serious sickness, infections and specially during change of whether. The high level of moisture found in a clogged drain provides the ideal environment for certain types of bacteria that breeds in the sink, floor traps with the readily available food source.

• Campylobacter: Raw milk, raw animal food, vegetables, and unchlorinated water can be sources of this bacteria that sometimes make their way to your drain. Exposure to these dangerous bacteria can lead to symptoms like muscle pain, headache, fever, and bloody diarrhea.
• Escherichia coli (E. coli): Drains exposed to contaminated food or drinks can be harboring E. coli, which causes a range of symptoms, from nausea and vomiting to fever, abdominal pain, and diarrhea.
• Salmonella: This type of bacteria usually ends up in the drain from raw meat, dairy products, or fresh produce. It can cause severe gastrointestinal symptoms, including nausea, vomiting, bloody stool, and diarrhea in addition to child and headache.
• Staphylococcus aureus: Staph bacteria thrive in wet environments, waiting to find a host, which makes your drain particularly tempting. Staph causes everything from infected wounds to toxic shock and pneumonia.

Signs of a Clogged Drain

There are some common signs that your drain is in dire need of drain cleaning services:

• Slow draining. If you have a clog and water flow is impeded, then the drain will not allow water through as quickly as it normally does.
• Bad odor. If you notice a smell emanating from your kitchen drain, it's usually caused by waste that is clogging the drain (and harboring untold bacteria). Your best move is to schedule drain cleaning right away on www.urbanhygiene.in . Keep in mind that if you smell a bad odor from more than one drain, you may have a problem in the sewage system.
• Gurgling noises. Air in the drain can cause your drain to gurgle and make strange noises, and more often than not, the air is the result of an obstruction from grease or dirt that creates air bubbles. Professional drain cleaning can help clear the debris from your drain so that air and wastewater moves freely.
• Food particles in the sink. If you run your dishwasher only to notice that you later have food particles in your sink, then you can pretty much guarantee that you have a clog. The problem can lie with the drain itself or the dishwasher.
• Repeat clogs. If you are continually plunging the kitchen drain or a drain in the bathroom, you may have a larger problem lurking somewhere in your plumbing system. An evaluation and inspection is the first step to eliminate the problem once and for all.
• Multiple drains clogs. You may have an advanced plumbing issue if you have more than one drain clogged at once; a main sewer clog can sometimes be to blame, and drain cleaning is in your plumbing system's future.

Hence a quarterly drain cleaning & maintenance program shall be taken for being free from the above nuisances and compromising own and family's health. Urban Hygiene Solutions offers a 360 Degree Drain Cleaning Service which is a 5 Step Drain Cleaning DrinOscopy Service program which contains:

1. Camera Inspection of Drains (DrainOscopy of Drain Lines just like EndOscopy is done for Human Body) to understand the current situation).
2. Botanical Solution application with hot water in the drain lines (Just like cleaning chemicals used for cleaning any surface to dilute the dirt to take out from the surface and sanitize it).
3. Cleaning with the use of Drain Cleaning Machine with Auger Heads (Just like we use cleaning brush, floor cleaning machines to agitate a surface to lift the dirt out completely).
4. Use of Hydro jet to clean the floor traps & Nani traps (Traps are the face of the drain lines, cleaning 100% here is most important of all to be pathogens free and odour free)
5. Installation of NRV (Non-Returnable Valves) wherever required (in case of sewer kind of smell / pest's presence still persists due to plumbing design challenge, an NRV does it all by restricting entry of pests or odour upwards, this happens due to the P trap or nani trap does not work as desired and the water level does not fill till the level to stop sewer smell or pests' entry.
