How Do We Resolve Clogged Drains?
Clogs can occur in various areas of a building due to different factors. Depending on the complexity and location of the clog, we choose the safest and most efficient solution for your pipes:
For minor to moderate clogs in kitchen sinks, bathtubs, or toilets, we use manual or electric drain snakes. The rotating snake breaks down built-up grease, soap scum, hair, and small debris, clearing the line without scratching or damaging the internal PVC walls.
For severe main line clogs, outdoor sewer overflows, or tree roots that have penetrated the sewer lines, we deploy high-pressure hydro-jetting equipment. The blast of water sweeps away sludge, heavy scale, and root intrusions, fully restoring the sewer pipe to its original diameter.
To ensure the blockage is completely resolved and to check for hidden structural defects (like collapsed pipes or joints shifted by soil movement), we insert a high-resolution waterproof camera into the line, giving you an accurate diagnostics of your plumbing system.
How to Prevent Clogged Drains at Home?
Prevention is the best way to save on repair costs. Here are simple tips to keep your drains flowing freely:
- Use Strainers: Place drain mesh strainers in all sinks, showers, and tubs to trap food scraps, hair, and soap chunks.
- No Wet Wipes in the Toilet: Wet wipes do not dissolve in water like toilet paper. Flushing them is the number one cause of sewer backups in Israel.
- Dispose of Cooking Oil Safely: Never pour hot oil or cooking fat down the kitchen sink. Let it cool, pour it into a container, and throw it in the trash bin.
