  1. Tools used by PLUMBERS for Unblocking Drains

  2. Introduction The plumbing system in any building is one of the most critical aspects of the structure. A building without a proper plumbing source cannot function. But any plumbing system will experience some problems at some point even it is well maintained. And one such problem is clogged drains. Although simple DIY and tools can mitigate the problem, sometimes one may need plumbers to handle it professionally and less fuss. If you are experiencing blocked drains all over your house at the same time, or you keep experiencing blocked drains every so often, it could be that you have a blockage in the main drainage pipe. To unclog the drainage, a plumber has to locate the main drainage pipe on your property. There are different methods that the plumber can use to unclog the drain.

  3. The plumber will use a tool known as a plumber's snake or auger to try and dislodge the blockage. This is a long cord that is made from wires and is lowered into the drainage pipe. The plumber's snake is pushed in until the blockage is reached. The plumber will then crank the tool until he can get right through the blockage. If the blockage is too severe, the plumber may decide to use an electric- powered plumber's snake. Plumber's Snake

  4. Hydro Jetter In case the plumber is not able to unclog the drain by using the plumber's snake, he can try a different tool known as the hydrojetter. The hydrojetter consists of a nozzle that is fixed onto a pressure washer. The hydrojetter is lowered into the drain until the blockage is reached and the pressurized water is let to run. The pressure that comes from the washer will break down the particles of the clog and will get rid of any grime that is stuck onto the pipes. This is a more effective method than the use of a plumber's snake.

  5. Closet Auger A closet auger is very similar to the plumber's snake but is specifically created to clear clogs in the toilet. It consists of a cable that is inside a stiff tube. The auger is bent at one end and pushed down the toilet drain curves until the clog is reached. The auger is then rotated until the blockage has been cleared from the drain.

  6. A plunger is used to remove the clog in sinks and toilets by plumber. If you want to unclog a sink, you should first remove any metal strainers and place a plunger on the drain opening. You should fill up the sink with water up to the halfway mark and before you begin plunging. You should ensure that you have a firm seal as you plunge vigorously. After you have plunged several times, you can pull the plunger up to check whether the water drains uninterrupted. Plunger
