Burien has it’s share of older houses and homes, and it takes a professional plumber with a lot of years of experience to know just how to handle each and every kind of plumbing material used.

Did you know that some of the homes in the Burien area, actually have clay sewer lines running out to the street? And as you can imagine, clay doesn’t hold up forever. Especially in an area where there are trees and bushes with deep roots.

Roots can end up pushing their way into a clay, or even a concrete pipe. After that, small spider web like roots begin to restrict the flow of the pipe, until suddenly, you have a drain cleaning emergency.

The first thought by many is, “no problem, I’ll just go rent myself one of those fancy rooter snakes, and we’ll get this clogged drain all cleaned up.” The problem that most home owners do not realize is that plumbers have to be trained to use such tools for a reason. Rooter snakes can be very dangerous if they are not used properly. The rooter snake is a long flexible cable, and when it begins to feed down into the drain, it starts to tighten up. The more you feed in and twist it around, the tighter it gets, until it can violently snap back. This back lash motion can lead to bruises, cuts, and even worse injuries. So please, before you go out and just rent a tool that you don’t know how to use, call the Drain Cleaning specialist, Thriftway Plumbing, and let them handle the dangerous project.

Another way that many people think they are saving money on is by using harsh chemicals to clean their drains. This can potentially be even worse than trying to use a rooter snake. Harsh chemicals can lead to damaging your plumbing, and possibly even causing you to have to replace plumbing that would have been fine, had you not dumped harsh chemicals down it. Suddenly you saving a few bucks by trying a quick fix has actually cost you thousands as you have to re-pipe your drain system. Not to mention that all those harsh chemicals are horrible for the environment.

They do make some supposedly environment friendly Drain Cleaner, but it still doesn’t make it any better for your plumbing pipes.
