Many times when a homeowner finds they are having reoccurring issues with the drains in their home it may be due to problems far into the plumbing of the home. While he or she may be able to remedy the problem some by using a plunger or other household devices, very often the issue will return. In this type of situation, it can be best to contact a Plumber in Philadelphia who can perform a more thorough inspection to determine the exact issue.
Generally, when a plumber is called in this type of situation, they will first perform a visual inspection of the plumbing in the home. Sometimes they will be able to notice areas where water may be accumulating or other issues are presenting which a homeowner may not have noticed. Once this is done, the plumber will also be able to perform a visual inspection of the interiors of the pipes. This is often done using a specially designed camera, which can be fed through the pipes and send back pictures for the technician to view while it is making its way through the pipes. This can be a great way for the plumber to determine not only where the problem is, but also what is causing the problem.
Once a Plumber in Philadelphia has this type of information, he or she will then know how they can best correct the problem. Many times if the clog is just too far in the pipes for other types of devices to reach, the plumber can use a heavy-duty or power snake to work a cable through the pipes and reach the clog. Once this device reaches the clog, the blades at the end can begin destroying the clog quickly and efficiently. This type of repair is generally best handled by a professional who knows how to use this type of equipment correctly and will not cause damage to the pipes or other elements of the home.
In some cases it may not be a specific clog which is causing the problem, but rather a buildup of grease, soap scum, hair and other matter which is coating the inside of the pipes. When this occurs, a plumber from Zoom Drain and Sewer Service will need to use a special machine designed to send high-pressured water through the pipes to remove this matter. Often this cleaning of the pipes will correct the issues.
