Blocked Drains 

The first step in fixing blocked drains is diagnosing it. The importance of this is that some diagnostic problems will be able to identify if the problem is a drain one or a septic one. This is so as to figure out if you would need the help of experts who offer services like boiler repairs or you can do the repairs yourself. But of course the confusion between the drain and septic will only exist if the building you are in is connected to the sewer system or the septic tank.

 

You should check the plumbing fixtures of the building first. If the clogged drain is on the higher floors then it would be logical that the drains below that are alright. If the clog though is on the lower floors, there is a higher probability that the higher floors are also affected. After checking the location of the blocked drains, you may also want to check if the drains had similar problems before or if there were situations when the drains are slow. If from the start it has really been slow then the problem may be in the installation and that the drains may not be clogged at all. If the drain functioned normally before but drained slower this time around, then that’s the time where the problem may be on the pathways of the drains.

 

There are a lot of options you can choose to fix slow-running or blocked drains. You can use a water ram, plunger and finally a plumbing snake depending on what you are more comfortable to use. All tools though are helpful in clearing blockages in the drains. If you do not want to do the repairs for your blocked drains, you can consult a professional plumber. You can even make him do boiler repairs if you need one. They have better tools and more knowledge in the field compared to you. Some services like this can be included in your insurance depending on its inclusion. In this way, you get to save more and money and at the same time have the right to emergency and free consultation and services.
