Blocked Drains and Unblocking Them

We used a steel rod or a cane to clear clogged drains when we first began. All power and force came directly from the plumbing, twisting the rods manually. This is a physically draining and difficult technique, especially when the rods are 6 feet long and the blockage is 20 feet down the pipe. drainage company Bracknell

The Electric Eel/Drain Snake was born, a boon for plumbers. This device changed the way plumbers cleaned drains. The machine was simply connected to the power supply and the cable could be fed into the drain. The rotation of the cables could be controlled by a lever. This would be similar to your hand screwdriver or electric powered drill.

The most recent technology and by far the best is the High Pressure Hydro Jetter. They are mounted on the backs of our vans. The High Pressure Hydro Jetter is fed into the pipes. It then "jets" the lines, sending high pressure water down to the pipe system at approximately 5500 psi.

High Pressure Hydro Jetter provides many advantages over either the Electric Eel (or Drain Snake). The cables are more eco-friendly and can travel 450 feet (or 150 metres) into a drain pipe or pipe. The best part is that water is cleaning the pipe, and not a steel rod or canerod. unblock sink Bracknell cost

Some plumbers use older methods to clear clogged drains. This can still cause damage to pipes, which in turn can lead to complications. So make sure the Plumber you choose is equipped with the right equipment.
