Clogged drains can be detrimental to your home’s plumbing system. When they become worse, you can hire a plumber in Grove City, OH from DrainMaster to make repairs. Although you might be tempted to snake your drains by yourself, it’s not advised for a few reasons.
Incorrect Plumbing Snake
The average homeowner owns only one plumbing snake but doesn’t realize that there’s no such thing as a one-size-fits-all for the tool. In other words, there’s a plumbing snake for each type of drain. If you have the wrong one for the drain with the clog, it won’t be usable and you’ll still need drain cleaning in Grove City, OH from the pros.
Porcelain Can Get Scratched
If you’re inexperienced at using a drain snake, performing a DIY job could result in porcelain getting scratched. Regardless of whether you do a thorough job clearing the clogged drain, you’ll be stuck having to replace the plumbing fixture you scratched up.
Pipe Damage
One of the worst things that could happen when you DIY drain snaking is that you could damage the pipes. If you aren’t absolutely sure you have the right snake and don’t have proper experience, you can easily damage the pipe below the drain. You’ll end up spending more money than the original job was worth.
Potential Injury
DIY snaking isn’t wise for another reason: if you have a motorized plumbing snake, you can suffer injuries if it rears back on you. It’s just not worth the risk and you will still need drain cleaning services performed by a professional.
Incomplete Job
With DIY drain snaking, you may be able to release and eliminate part of the clog. However, there’s a good chance that the majority of the debris will be left behind. This is more trouble than it’s worth.
