Having a clogged drain in your house does not seem like that big of a deal until it comes time to wash the dishes or to clean something off. When a sink is left clogged and none of the water can drain properly, it can start to get disgusting and smell, among other things. When someone gets a clogged drain, they should hire the assistance of a plumber. Lutz residents might not know how to unclog a drain themselves, or they do not have the necessary tools needed to get the job done. Here are the most common ways that a professional may help their clients unclog drains.
Using a plunger
Using a plunger tool is one of the least invasive ways to try to unclog a drain by plumbing professionals. A plunger utilizes the forces of suction and compression to pull the water in the drain up, ideally trying to loosen the blockage, and then forcing it back down. When a plunger is used by a plumber, Lutz residents should understand that it is not the same as a toilet plunger because they do not have a flange, or collar, that wraps around the dome to create more of a seal.
Snaking a drain
This is often the last line of defense for clearing out a drain when clearing the trap nor plunging the sink fixes the issue. Snakes work the opposite of a plumber, and instead of using suction to looses the blockage, it tries to retrieve the blockage and pull it out. When a snaking a drain has to be done by a plumber, Lutz residents should be aware this is most likely because the clog or blockage is deep in the drainpipe. Plungers work on shallow clogs and blockages, but they are not effective at clearing out debris deep down in pipes.
