3 Ways to Deal With Clogs
That Really Works
- Everyone hopes to never have to deal with clogs, but the harsh reality is, you eventually will, especially if until now you haven’t managed to have regular maintenance in place or have not called in a professional plumber to permanently fix your drain issues. A clog problem should not be a situation to cry over if you know how to deal with it as soon as it happens, but when you take it for granted and let it fix by itself, that’s where plumbing problems start to compact and create more problems. Flooding can immediately follow too, so why not do something about it before a lot of things go wrong in your plumbing? Check out the 3 effective ways we’ve put together for you to deal with clogs in your home.
- 3 Ways to Deal With Clogs That Really Works
- 1. DIY method
- It probably didn’t come to your mind that you’d be fixing a plumbing problem yourself, but it would be the most logical thing to do as soon as something goes wrong. Unless it’s something beyond your ability to do. Fixing a problem as soon as it happens avoids the possibility of making it worse. That’s why it goes a long way to have basic understanding on how to fix a simple plumbing problem with what is available at home.
- You can go for DIY homemade solutions like a mixture of baking soda and salt, or baking soda and vinegar followed by boiling water. This combination proves to work magic on drains with clogs that are not too tough. Since it is a mixture of kitchen staples, it is fixture-friendly compared to chemical drain cleaners. But don’t be surprised if you won’t be able to clear the clogs the first time. Sometimes it takes a few tries to completely get rid of a clog. Drawback of DIY, is that whilst it is effective and by far the cheapest option there is, it has a low success rate because it entirely depends on how good you are at carrying out the procedures.
- There’s just one thing to keep in mind with using DIY home solutions, while it may effectively work at some types of clog, it doesn’t warrant a permanent fix.
- Key Benefits
- – Avoids the danger of chemical drain cleaners
- – Cheaper compared to store-bought cleaners that contains harsh chemicals
- – Effective on weak clogs
- – Safe to your family especially when you have kids and pets at home
- – Non-toxic to the environment
- Drawbacks
- – You’d have to do it yourself, most of the time
- – It takes time compared to chemical drain cleaners
- – You have to be good at following the right mixture, or application
- – It’s messy and can get downright disgusting, especially when dealing with toilet clogs
- – It doesn’t guarantee a permanent fix
- 2. Regular maintenance
- It’s not surprising what a routine plumbing check can do to your plumbing. Just like your every trip to the hospital for regular checkup, your plumber can catch many minor problems that have the potential to become a major repair sooner. Every inspection includes a camera inspection to check the pipes inside out for clogs, gaps and damages so it’s a great way to safeguard your home from leaks and other emergency situations.
- Make sure to hire a plumber who comes with not just tools on his bag but as well as an array of plumbing skills because sometimes one routine checkup can mean a lot of repair to do. That way, if something else comes up during the maintenance, it will be corrected right away.
- Key Benefits
- – Plumbing downtime is reduced
- – Major repairs are avoided
- – Increases life expectancy of your plumbing
- – Improves safety for everyone in terms of risk factor because of a bad plumbing
- – Improves overall condition of your plumbing
- – Avoids plumbing emergency instances
- Drawbacks
- – It will cost you money every time a plumber needs to check on your plumbing
- – You can expect regular water service downtime
- – Cannot fix busted pipes
- – Risk for over-maintenance due to required planned service, even if your plumbing doesn’t need to be checked as often as planned
- 3. Professional blocked drain repair
- Often clogs can be remedied with homemade solutions, but they are less likely to clear all clogs away, especially that in most cases, tree roots causes the problem. Professional blocked drain repair in Sydney services proves to work more effectively because professional plumbers use advanced tools and equipment to make sure you’ll never run into the same trouble, unless of course there’s more to it than what you think is just a simple clog. For example a broken pipe joint or a fractured section. These types of pipes will never be fixed with just normal drain repair.
- When we repair a blocked sewer drain or blocked sewer pipe, we send a camera down the drain to check the cause and the exact location of a clog. We clean the drains with a jetter and feed through a robotic mechanical cutter to cut away all tree-roots. Then we send a camera down the drain again to ensure all roots have been cleared and will never have a chance to grow back into your pipe again.
- Key Benefits
- – You’re guaranteed with permanent fix
- – A professional will fix the problem for you
- – Your tree roots will never have an opportunity to grow back
- – All types of clogs can be eliminated, all at once, for good
- – Improves condition of your entire plumbing
- – Saves you time and money from repeated drain repairs
- – Avoids plumbing emergencies
- – Increases life expectancy of your plumbing
- – Reduces chances of future clogs
- Drawbacks
- – Cannot fix fractured pipes
- – It requires a fee to clear the clogs
- – It cannot be DIYed
- – You cannot fix the clog at your desired time. You need to book in a professional for the job
