What can I do about a clogged drain?
A clogged drain is often a symptom of a larger issue, such as severely damaged pipes, which can become a costly problem if not addressed correctly. Factors like old pipes, tree roots, minor leaks, and damaged pipes can lead to a disaster, especially when a local plumber employs more traditional methods like snaking. Proceeding with snaking without conducting a video camera inspection first can result in severe damage to the original pipe, resulting in the time-consuming task of digging trenches.
