Welcome! My name is Sally. This is my blog about plumbing. I decided to start writing about plumbing after a very scary experience. I arrived home from work one day only to discover that a pipe burst in my home. When I opened the front door, I saw a torrent of water pouring down the stairs. I panicked and ran next door to my neighbour. Luckily, he used to work as a construction contractor, so he has a lot of experience in dealing with household problems. He helped me to turn off the mains water and helped me to mop up the mess. After this event, I decided I wanted to learn more about the plumbing in my house, so I went to a night school class.

The most common cause for a blocked drain is the accumulation of materials and foreign objects in the pipes that transport waste. These materials can include in their composition fats, foods, pieces of hair and even soap! As a result, you need to regularly clean your pipes in order to avoid completely blocking them. A blocked drain can cause you lots of stress because of the inconveniences that they create as well as the unpleasant odour that they produce. Here are just some of the reasons why you should consider hiring a professional for blocked drain cleaning.
Quality Use of Equipment and Chemicals
When you hire a professional plumber, you have the assurance that they will thoroughly evaluate the problem at hand and give you a description as to why your drain is blocked as well as professional solutions on how to unclog it. Once the evaluation is done, the plumber will be able to use professional equipment such as CCTV cameras to see the insides of the sewer lines, or high pressure cleaners in order to wash the drains.
In addition to having access to the latest equipment, plumbers are also authorized to use dangerous chemicals that you don't have access to as a simple homeowner. Even if you do manage to get your hands on these chemicals, it's highly ill advised to fiddle with them by yourself because of how dangerous they can be.
Money Saving
By hiring a professional plumber, you ultimately end up saving money. Imagine if you decide to spend the little money you have on trying to solve the issue yourself and fail to do so. This can become a disaster since you won't have fixed the problem nor would you be able to pay someone to fix the problem. It becomes clear at this point that by deciding to go to a professional plumber the first time you end up saving more money in the long run.
Protecting Yourself from Toxins
You have to remember that the waste water found in sewer lines is extremely toxic. It contains tons of dangerous toxins that cause a plethora of diseases to anyone that comes in contact with it. A professional plumber is trained to protect himself and those around him from these harmful toxins while working around the sewer.
When it comes to emergency blocked drains, hiring professional plumbers is the way to go. In addition to everything mentioned above, they are capable of giving you tips on maintaining your drain and avoiding any future problems. A good plumber should be experienced, skilled, and finally, licensed.
