Help with a Clogged Bathroom Sink Drain
When dealing with a clogged drain, it’s best to start simple and inexpensive. We like to try the easiest solutions first so we don’t charge our customers for unnecessary work.
A bathroom sink clog can almost always be found in the small pipes directly underneath. It’s a simple and fast fix. In this case, we can easily take the pipes apart and clear the lines. The trick for the do-it-yourself crowd will be to reconnect the pipes so that they don’t leak. A professional plumber can make sure you don’t end up with a small pond inside your cabinets.
Clogged Tub and Shower Drains
With a tub or shower drain, it’s easiest to run a mini rooter with 15 feet of drain snake down the pipes. This is usually enough to break up any nearby blockage. If the problem persists then a bigger problem with the sewer pipes running out of the house may be the issue.
Sewer pipes can become stopped-up by major blockages. Tree roots are also a major threat to sewer lines running through your yard. Our plumbers have experience clearing major lines.
Plumbers with Phoenix’s Rooter and Plumbing Service use powerful drain cleaning machines. We have the right-sized cable for the different pipes in your home. One size of cable doesn’t fit every pipe. It’s important to have every width of cable on hand for every potential problem.
We also have the right length of cable for any long-distance issues. Clogs can be hiding 100 feet or more down a pipe and thankfully, we have enough reach to find and destroy them.
A Plumbers Help with Clogged Toilets
If a plunger won’t dislodge the issue, then our plumbers can utilize a toilet auger if the problem is near the toilet bowl. Augers can be purchased at home improvement stores if this is a recurring problem in your house.
If this doesn’t clear the clog then a more serious problem in the sewer lines may be the problem. A plumber with the right cables would be able to determine the blocked section and quickly rooter it away.
What not to do when You have a Clogged Bathroom Drain
A plumber in a bottle is not a good idea. Products like Draino introduce harsh chemicals into your pipes that supposedly dissolve the clog but can also dissolve your plumbing. Any relief these chemicals provide will only be temporary. If you are to the point you want to try a chemical solution, it’s time to call a plumber and get the issue cleared the right way. You’ll save money and hassle in the long run.
You can also buy or rent drain snakes and drain augers at places like Home Depot and Lowe’s Home Improvement. They can be hand-cranked or electric. If you have some experience with plumbing repair you may be able to be effective with these tools.
You can run into problems because these businesses usually only supply you with one size of cable. Your problem pipe may be too big or too small for the cable provided. Also, these rentals may only come with 50 feet of cable and that could be just short of reaching your blockage.
Remember, if you try the do-it-yourself route and can’t get results don’t hesitate to call a professional. You can save a lot of money on home repairs if you have an expert locate your issue.
