for Unblocking Drains
Introduction
The plumbing system in any building is one of the most critical aspects of the
structure. A building without a proper plumbing source cannot function. But any
plumbing system will experience some problems at some point even it is well
maintained. And one such problem is clogged drains. Although simple DIY and tools
can mitigate the problem, sometimes one may need plumbers to handle it
professionally and less fuss.
If you are experiencing blocked drains all over your house at the same time, or you
keep experiencing blocked drains every so often, it could be that you have a blockage
in the main drainage pipe. To unclog the drainage, a plumber has to locate the main
drainage pipe on your property. 
There are different methods that the plumber can use to unclog the drain.
 The plumber will use a tool known as a
plumber's snake or auger to try and dislodge
the blockage. This is a long cord that is made
from wires and is lowered into the drainage
pipe. The plumber's snake is pushed in until the
blockage is reached. The plumber will then
Plumber's crank the tool until he can get right through
the blockage. If the blockage is too severe, the
Snake plumber may decide to use an electric-
powered plumber's snake. 
Hydro Jetter
In case the plumber is not able to unclog the drain
by using the plumber's snake, he can try a
different tool known as the hydrojetter. The
hydrojetter consists of a nozzle that is fixed onto
a pressure washer. The hydrojetter is lowered into
the drain until the blockage is reached and the
pressurized water is let to run. The pressure that
comes from the washer will break down the
particles of the clog and will get rid of any grime
that is stuck onto the pipes. This is a more
effective method than the use of a plumber's
snake.
Closet Auger
A closet auger is very similar to the plumber's
snake but is specifically created to clear clogs in
the toilet. It consists of a cable that is inside a
stiff tube. The auger is bent at one end and
pushed down the toilet drain curves until the clog
is reached. The auger is then rotated until the
blockage has been cleared from the drain.
A plunger is used to remove the clog in sinks and toilets
by plumber. If you want to unclog a sink, you should first
remove any metal strainers and place a plunger on the
drain opening. You should fill up the sink with water up
to the halfway mark and before you begin plunging. You
should ensure that you have a firm seal as you plunge
vigorously. After you have plunged several times, you
can pull the plunger up to check whether the water
Plunger drains uninterrupted.
