The drains that leave a person’s home rarely see any maintenance until a problem occurs, However prevention is always better than cure, so it pays to keep on top of your drain maintenance instead of footing a costly repair bill.
If you do have a blocked drain, there are a few things that you can do to unblock it before you have to call in the experts.
A plunger can be bought quite cheaply from a DIY store. The vacuum effect the plunger has on the pipe is usually enough to free any blockage which is sitting just under a sink or a bathtub.
Like a plunger, a drain snake can also be used to clear a blockage. The snake is fed into the drainage pipe and when rotated is usually enough to clear the offending debris from the drainage pipe.
In some situations you might find that a drain cannot be unblocked using conventional methods alone. When this happens it is always a good idea to call in the drainage professionals, who will have all the right equipment to solve your drainage problem.
