Questions to Ask Your Plumber Regarding Drain Cleaning

Do you need drain cleaning drain cleaning in San Fernando Valley, CA , from All City Plumbers? When you need a drain cleaning company , rely only on LedingEdge Plumbing & Rooter. Nevertheless, there are two questions you can ask to make sure that you know how we will deal with your clogged drain pipes.

  1. How will you clean my drains?

The drain cleaning services used to clear your clogged drain will depend on the type of clog and the pipe material. The most common type of drain cleaning method is drain snaking, which involves the use of a plumbing auger. The plumbing auger is threaded down your drain pipe and rotated with the help of a small motor. On the end of the auger is a hook or claw. As the claw rotates, it breaks apart the clog. Once the clog is broken apart, water is flushed down the drain to clear the debris.

  1. What will you do if you find out that my drains need more than cleaning?

If your drain pipe appears extremely worn, has thin pipe walls due to corrosion or a tree root infiltration, you may need more than a drain cleaning service. If we do find that the structural integrity of your drain pipe has been compromised, we will notify you immediately and recommend the appropriate repairs. We will also give you an estimate for those repairs so that you can make an informed decision.
