When Should I Call a Professional Plumber?
Property owners typically want to try clearing their drains themselves before calling a licensed plumber to effectively finish the job. One method you can try involves letting most of the water in your sink or tub drain and then carefully pouring boiling water down the drain to break up the hardened materials. Pouring chemical drain cleaner down your pipes could cause more damage to your plumbing system, so we recommend avoiding store-bought chemical cleaners.
If our first recommendation doesn’t effectively clear the clog in your drain, you can try using a plunger and drain snake to pull the clog close to the top to pull out the materials. If neither of these methods is effective at clearing the clog, you can schedule an appointment with the experienced, licensed plumbers at Mr. Rooter® Plumbing of shasta-county for professional assistance.
Should I Clean My Drains Myself?
Draining cleaning is a plumbing service you should leave to professional, licensed plumbers with the right tools and expertise for the job. You might want to try saving money by purchasing a DIY drain cleaning kit or chemical drain cleaners, but these tools and chemicals can damage your plumbing system and won’t effectively clear clogs for future prevention. Fortunately, the team at Mr. Rooter® Plumbing of shasta-county has the best tools and equipment for residential drain cleaning to get lasting results without damaging your system.
