You’ve got a clog, and nothing you do is helping. Or, perhaps your drains smell bad, and you can’t get rid of the horrible odor no matter how many times you clean them. These two things signal more than a normal plumbing problem, which is why it’s a good idea to enlist some expert help. Not only are OTC drain cleaners filled with dangerous chemicals, but they can also be ineffective, as can DIY solutions that are less toxic. Five Star Plumbing is here to help you with your plumbing problems, no matter what they are.
Home Remedies
Don’t get us wrong. We are not bashing home remedies. Cleaning your drains with baking soda and vinegar is an excellent way to discourage the buildup that causes clogs and odors. The problem with home or over-the-counter drain cleaners is that they cannot identify the exact problem. They fix things generally, which in many cases ends up being a bandage-solution to a gaping wound. They might work right away, but you’ll end up with the same problem or worse in a few days, weeks, or months.
Professional Remedies
Whether your plumbing problems include clogs, odors, both, or something else, trained and certified plumbers will find the exact plumbing problem so it can be fixed right away. For example, let’s say that your bathroom sink constantly clogs no matter how many times you clean the drain. We will use a camera to go down your bathroom sink’s drain and determine why the sink keeps clogging. It might not be grime or hair clogging the plumbing; it could be you have a damaged pipe way down the line.
If you have a clog, your home or OTC remedies will not solve the problem if you must keep using them. Rather, professional, pressurized cleaning that is safe for your exact plumbing type will remove all debris to restore water flow. This cleaning also helps with smelly drains, which, by the way, could be caused by sewage or septic backup about which you aren’t aware. This is another plumbing problem that cannot be fixed by DIY or OTC plumbing remedies.
