Plungers Can Easily Fix Your Plumbing Problems
The first thing that most likely comes to your mind when you hear the word plunger is toilet clog. That is because that is what the number one use of the plunger is. Unclogging the toilet isn’t the only use for a plunger. There are multiple ways to use a plumber.
Have you ever had a sink, either the kitchen or the bathroom sink or tub clog up on you and you have no Liquid Plumber in the house or any Drano?
Next time that happens simply take your plunger and go to the sink and plunge. Depending on the toughness of the clog will depend on how many times you have to pump the plunger. A simple clog can go on one or two. But the clog does not unclog itself within 5 minutes of plunging then you may need to use the liquid or powdered clog cleaner.
Then, if that still doesn’t work then you have to call a plumber. The moral of the story is to try to exhaust all possibilities before you spend money when the answer may be right in front of you for free. You should always keep a plunger on hand for clogged toilets but now you have a second reason to keep one handy. They are cheap and could save you a lot of money in the long run.
The 3 Types of Plungers
Plungers are a non-invasive and easy way to restore the flow and solve your plumbing problems. Use a flat or cup plunger for your sink or drains and a bell-shaped or flange plunger for your toilet. There is also an accordion plunger that is used for toilet clogs. Even though it has a flat edge the accordion feature builds pressure to unclog the toilet. If the plunger doesn’t work, it’s time to call a Plumber!
