More often many people don't actually think about their homes' plumbing. It is just there, concealed from plain view yet always doing its significant job. And it only gets noticed when something is amiss. There's a tendency that you're going to rush in looking for ways so as to fix your plumbing problem quick.

Since there is now a requirement for water conservation, the toilets which are used today have been retrofitted and utilize less pressure as well as less water. Yes, this is good, this is for the environment, drain repairs Bournemouth but it doesn't always get the flushing job done. Along with that, blocked drains can be due to an accumulation of "stuff," including hair. Aside from that, if your house has a septic system, things such as plant roots can create cracks in the pipes leading to several sewage leaks which in turn causes your residential area to have a foul odor.

While you get to know what is causing the blocked drains, you could do something about it. Like putting the plunger to good use. There's something else blocking your drains, in case your plunger fails at its task. If its grease, you can utilize boiling water to clear the clog. You can even call a drain cleaner nearby just in case since this works wonders for clogs caused by food and hair.

In case all possible solutions for your blocked drains work to no avail, then your only recourse could be to contact your local professional plumber. The plumber will use particular tools and implements such as a high pressure water jet. This shoots a steady stream of water into the pipes and this could cause what's blocking the pipes to get loose. If it so happens that what is blocking your drain is a lot more solid than first thought of, then your plumber is going to use a tool called a pipe snake.

The plumber places such a tool within the pipe in order to cut whatever obstruction there is and create a smooth flow of liquid within the pipe. The pipe is then flushed with water in order to see if the blockage has been cleared completely.
 Blocked drains could be quite a mess. Nevertheless, knowing the cause and addressing it is your key to unclogging the problem. When in doubt about what has got your drains blocked, your best option to remove it is to call up your friendly neighborhood plumber, who certainly knows what should be done.
