Common Roots of Clogged Drains

Tools and Techniques Employed by Professional Plumbers

Plungers

Types of plungers include cup plungers and flange plungers as well as accordion-style plungers. Plungers can be used to treat small blockages and minor obstructions to the surface.

Augers, snakes of drainage and drains

Manual drain snakes are operated by hand, while motorized versions use an electric motor for added power. Augers, drain snakes or even augers are ideal for more difficult clogs and more severe blockages.

Hydro jetting involves using high-pressure water to blast away blockages in pipes and to clean them. Advantages of hydro jetting include its efficacy and green credentials but its limitations are the potential for pipe damage when not done properly.
