Pittsburgh, PA (PRWEB) December 10, 2012
According to Pittsburgh plumber, Mr Rooter, a clogged drain can be a stubborn hassle. Strange noises, odors and poor water flow or backflow means the homeowner has a serious plumbing problem. For a drain blockage, how do you decide whether or not you need Mr Rooters professional plumbing service?
Common causes of pipe blockages include hair clumps, greasy buildup or tree roots interfering with pipe flow, says Bob Beall, licensed master plumber and owner of Mr Rooter Plumbing Pittsburgh and Youngstown.
Beall adds, If you have problem, dont wait too long to take care of it. Backed up water can become a breeding ground for harmful bacteria. Waiting to clean it can make the problem worse and could lead to more costly repairs in the long run.
There are many times that you can clear a clog by yourself. You can try pouring hot water and baking soda. Most homeowners use a drain cleaning liquid. Usually these products are strong enough to partially dissolve a drain blockage. Mr Rooter Plumbing recommends BioChoiceEs, thegreen-friendly solution for healthy drain maintenance.
This may not end the problem, says Beall, because most drain cleaners only dissolve away part of the blockage. If this happens, the blockage can reoccur.
TRADE SECRET: If you overuse drain cleaning liquids on a persistent clog, the chemicals can eventually damage or corrode your pipes.
Whether you have a stubborn problem or not, its a good idea to try to find out what is causing your clog. Be careful with the materials you let go down the drain. Installing a sink strainer will stop waste products from entering the pipes.
Some stoppages, such as those caused by or tree roots, require the skills and tools of a plumber with the most innovative trenchless pipelining system available through Mr Rooter Plumbing.
When a drain wont clear with chemicals, or a clog in your sink or tub keeps recurring, then you may really need to call the most referred and trusted Pittsburgh plumbing specialist, Mr Rooter.
Mr Rooter Tip Of The Day
Tip #1 To rod a drain line, it will be necessary to find and open a cleanout closest to the clog.
Tip #2 Very carefully and slowly open a small crack to see if there is any fluid underneath. If none, remove the plug.
Tip #3 Insert a sewer tape into the line.
Tip #4 Rent a high-powered rodding machine (very expensive by the hour and extremely aggressive to operate). A rodding machine will send a cutter head into the line. A foot switch (inset) is mandatory for safe operation. This procedure may take two men to operate, at best.
Tip #5 If you are successful in clearing the main sewer line inside of your home or business, run a hose in the line full force for several minutes. This requires the pressure of your water to be reasonably high professional plumbers use a Hydrojetting machine especially for this purpose. Video inspection is also available to investigate the sewer line from your cleanout to the street where the sewer connects to either the septic tank or the municipal service.
WHAT CAN GO WRONG: After following Bealls expert plumbing advice with no success in unclogging your sewer drain the problem most likely is between your house/business drain and the street.
