It is recommended that you initially check with
your neighbors to see if anyone else is
affected. If the blockage is minor, you may be
able to deal with it yourself and save yourself
time and money. A set of drain rods, a plunger
or liquid drain opener should be sufficient to
clear most clogged drains.
Do not use unsuitable equipment such as lengths
of timber because if some breaks off, the
problem can become far more difficult and
expensive to deal with.
Protective clothing should be worn by anyone
attempting to clear sewers. However, blockages
of a more serious nature will require
professional help.
Sewers can be blocked for example by
miscellaneous items placed in the system or
sometimes by tree roots. They can collapse
through subsistence or break down through
general wear and tear. In such instances, or
where the sewer cannot be cleared with drain
rods, you will need to call Fix All Plumbing
your Los Angeles rooter service specialist.
