As you might guess, shower clogs are most commonly caused by human hair. Gross! Also, not as easy to clear as you might of thought: hair clogs can extend far down the pipe, beyond the reach of many store-bought hooks and snake tools. If your shower has clogged, stop running the water right away and call in our plumbers.
Most often, kitchen sink clogs are caused by an accumulation of food waste, and can be cleared by running a garbage disposal. If your home doesn’t have an in-sink disposal unit, you’ll need one of our plumbers to come to your home and clear the clog. In more serious cases, grease and oil buildup can cause a blog further down the pipe or in the sewer line.
Most toilet clogs can be cleared with the use of a plunger, which uses pressure to remove clogs. However, more stubborn clogs may need professional intervention. If you’ve been struggling with a clogged toilet, call in the plumbers here at Southern Air – Air Conditioning.
The tools of the trade
Our plumbers carry a wide variety of tools for clearing clogs and cleaning drains. These include specialized snake tools for reaching around the U-bend of pipes to clear tough clogs. Many of these tools can have rotors attached at the end that cut away at clogs.
In the event that something valuable has fallen down the drain (such as a wedding ring), our plumbers also have specialized tools for fishing those out of deep within pipes. Of course, a plumber’s tools are only as good as the plumber using them. That’s why our plumbers are experienced drain cleaning professionals who have seen and done it all.
At Southern Air – Air Conditioning, we offer 24/7 emergency plumbing services. If your shower, sink, or toilet has clogged, give us a call right away, and we’ll send out a plumber as soon as possible to help.
A quick note: if all the drains in your home are clogging all at once, shut off your water and call us immediately. This could be a sign that your sewer line is clogged.
