Sinks clog. It can’t be helped. And drains clog. Showers and bathtubs clog. It happens in every home.
Pouring liquid or crystals down a clogged drain may be all you need to clean out and unblock that clogged drain or pipe. Sometimes it works, often it’s not enough.
Even when it seems to work, the clog just comes back in a few days, because the liquid did not do a complete job and only partially removed the clog.
We at Mr. Speedy Plumbing know the exact value of liquid cleaners: we use them to clean and sanitize the drain after the clog has been removed.
Clogs can occur for a number of reasons. The most common is hair, which doesn’t go down the drain easily and is easily caught. Hair, grease and rust will eventually and inevitably combine to block up and choke off your drain, leaving you with a sink full of dirty water. This is not only a major inconvenience, it can soon become a health hazard.
No worries – just call Mr. Speedy Plumbing!
Our special drain cleaning tool, called a “snake” is inserted into the pipe. The flexible snake conforms to the shape of the drain pipes and acts as an auger, chewing up the clog so that its emulsified remains can be flushed through the pipes and out of the house.
The second biggest cause of sink blockages is because an obstruction – probably something you dropped in there – is preventing the water from draining. We often receive calls from customers who have dropped wedding rings down.
Our expert technicians quickly access the sink trap (the bend at the bottom of the drain pipe) which is where the ring is most probably caught – waiting for rescue.
