Clearing Clogged Drains
December 21, 2012
All plumbing systems develop clogs, and there's no way to avoid them. However, if you develop a clog most of the time it can be fixed without calling a plumber as long as you have the right tools and a little determination. Remember, if you can't clear a clog after a few attempts, turn the job over to a drain-cleaning service or licensed plumber. You want to avoid exerting too much force that can permanently damage a pipe or fixture.
Clogged drains can be caused by residual buildup, broken or fractured pipes, and even tree roots. If you realize your problem is a serious one, you need to contact a professional. When seeking a dependable plumber, be sure to research the company's longevity, reputation and work guarantees. They should have the expertise to quickly diagnose and repair any drain cleaning issue you have. Many professional plumbers utilize several blockage remedies, including an electric snake, hydro flush, and other techniques, depending on the severity of your drain cleaning issue. At Benjamin Franklin Plumbing our certified, dependable plumbing technicians will easily diagnose and repair your drain blockage.
In addition, if your pipes need to be replaced, the technician will determine which type of piping is best suited for your home or business, since different types of pipes have different benefits. For example, some homeowners choose copper pipes because of their durability and longevity. Other homeowners, and home builders, may choose plastic or PVC pipes because the piping is lightweight, less expensive and easy to transport. As you know before attempting any plumbing issue, make sure to obtain a professional's advice.
At Benjamin Franklin Plumbing, we value our customers and make their complete satisfaction our main priority. Our experienced, certified technicians are available for all your emergency plumbing needs.
