We have qualified and experienced plumbers to clear up the mess, open the drain and get your house back to proper working order. Symptoms to look out for that warn that the drain is starting to clog is when water starts pushing up between toilet and shower or bath In the Ferndale area tree roots have been found to be a common cause for the blockage as it is a well wooded area. Other reasons for clogged or slow drains is that old no, no of putting fat or grease down the sink, even when flushed down with hot water it gets cold down the line and builds up eventually blocking the drain and sometimes causing a real headache when you least need it, prevention is cheaper than cure in the case of a blocked drain and the cost to open it. The trouble with trying to open drains with caustic soda or liquid drain cleaners is getting the product to the blockage and they are often very corrosive and dangerous to work with. Clogged drains occur, if foreign objects are thrown down the toilet or drain that do not breakup.

Not everyone knows that kitchen towel paper is not recommended to dispose of down the drain or toilet as it is like news paper and does not not to breakup easily, it builds up on a compaction area like a bend and becomes solid once dry, voila you have problem. Baby nappy liners, women's "that time of the month" products and condoms are just a few of the examples we can mention that clog up drains. Long hair and soap residue are quick to block up drains especially in showers and baths. Cleaning the sieve out after use in the shower or bath is highly recommended. Once roots have pushed into the old, possibly cracked sewer lines, to find water, the drain will often continue to clog up quicker from roots and sand other debris filling up the drain unnoticed, in Ferndale. If you find the blockages, as result of tree roots only occur once a year, from trees sending down roots if it we haven't had much rain, then the need to replace the sewer pipe is not necessary. But if it starts clogging up more and more often then it would be cost effective to replace that section of the sewer line, possibly reroute the line and even remove the offending tree. While attempting to open a blockage in a drain, if we find that the rods or drain machines extension line gets stuck and brings out sand or roots, we explain to the owner that the drain is collapsed or compromised. We quote before any work is done, give guarantees on the work to give you peace of mind and offer a damage report to claim back from insurance.
