If you only face a small draining problems and just want to clear it on your own then there are ways to go about it. Drain clearing can be done fairly easily and you have probably done it sometime in your life. If your toilet was clogged and you took a plunger to unclog it then you have probably cleared a drain before.
For small drain clearing problems, here are some of the tools you will need the following:
Plunger – Basic unclogging tool
Cable auger – To clear any problems further down in the drain or you can get an electric powered one which cost more, but is more effective
Closet auger – Little bit more effective in getting drains that are clogged further down cleared, usually used for toilets
In a sense, if you want to be able to clear small drainage problems without calling professional then using these tolls will most likely get the job done. But in some cases drains may not only be clogged and could be broken. These types of drains can not only allow for water to leak into your property, but can cause odors that are many of the times dangerous and unhealthy to breathe in.
Broken drains are not something that should be unclogged, trying to repair them will be an extremely tough feat. Instead you should call for a service that can do it for you. Many of the pipes are made from cast iron and steel and are not easy to fix, the hardest thing about broken drains is figuring out where they are located. Having a broken drain under your driveway can lead to some major leakage and sewage issues. Most likely you do not know how to fix a drain under your house or even your sink and even if you do, it will not be fixed properly.
Finding a proper service, whether it be commercial drain cleaning or residential drain cleaning and it depends on your situation, is very important. Drains that are broken not only need to be fixed, but also needs to be realigned and properly taken care to make sure additional problems don't arise. Locating your drainage problems, inspecting your property for any additional issues, eliminating odors, clearing your drain, fixing broken pipes, and/or reinstalling new ones can and should not be done individually.
Many services out there may be just too expensive and you will not be able to pay for them. That is why you should find a high quality service that does all of this for a cheap and reasonable price-Robert
