Today we are going to talk about different problems people within their plumbing system. Often I get calls to snake a line and people don’t understand why they’re having problems with the plumbing.
And often, it’s just simple maintenance. First, let’s talk about roots. Roots in the line are typically due to an offset, a breach in the line, cracks with the gaps would be, where the couples would be, where the pipes would join together.
Roots are in the ground and they’re getting in and searching for water and they’re getting into the pipes…really really bad bad situation when you have roots in your lines.
Next would be feminine products, often wipes, as well, are villains they say can be used toilet, etc. whether it’s a shorter wipe or more absorbent wipe, wipes do not go down the drain. There one of the plumber‘s best friends for having us out to clear lines.
Those wipes, especially the bigger ones get caught up in the roots if there are roots there and another common cause of blockage other than just too much toilet paper one time, would be when there’s a belly in the line, so there’s a belly line that means the gravity is not working and water is accumulating in the pipe so keep that in mind those are common problems of people have with their lines, not draining properly
