There’s nothing worse than a drain that’s clogged or a pipe that’s leaking. A leak can make a large mess and cause mold problems in a building. A clog can cause a slow-running toilet or drain and release a foul smell in a home. Plumbing Contractors in Portland OR can easily correct these problems in a short amount of time.
Sewer lines can get clogged when pipes break or tree roots block the line. A video inspection of the pipe will determine the cause of the clog and suggest the correct solution to the problem.
Clogged Drains
Drains can clog under a sink at the trap. This is the pipe under the sink that bends and prevents gas smells from entering a home from the sewer lines. Although over-the-counter drain cleaners might seem like a great idea, they contain a lot of chemicals that are harmful to the environment and can push the clog to another area in the line. Reducing the amount of food that enters a drain will reduce the chance of a clogged drain.
Clogged toilets happen when too much toilet paper is used or when a foreign object is flushed. Feminine hygiene products should never be flushed down the toilet because they can cause serious clogs.
Sewer Drains
Sewer drains in the floor can be clogged with dirt, grime, and grease. A plumber’s goal is to make the owner comfortable while fixing the problem. Hydro-jetting might be used to flush a nasty clog from a floor drain.
Repairs
When a sewer line is broken, it doesn’t mean the entire yard needs to be excavated to repair it. In certain situations, Plumbing Contractors in Portland OR can repair the pipe by putting a new liner inside the broken pipe. This eliminates excavation of the yard needing to be performed.
Waterlines
A broken water line is a mess to a homeowner and can be frustrating if the owner attempts to resolve the problem without professional help. Older lines can easily break because of corrosion from years of use. If you have a plumbing problem, Clog Busters LLC can help.
