Clogged or Blocked Drains
When the residents of Ottawa, have a drain clog, and need drain cleaning services, they look to John The Plumber to ensure the job is carried out properly. There are many different reasons that drains will clog up. Simply unblocking a drain doesn’t give you much insight into why the drain itself is blocked. Sometimes a drain stop is an indicator of a bigger problem, such as a blocked vent stack, or a sag in the pipe.
Grease in your kitchen sink
My mother used to pour the bacon fat in a tin can, and then wipe out of the pan with a paper towel before rinsing it off in the sink. It turns out she had learned this lesson with a call to the plumber years earlier. Grease, even in small amounts will cause blocked drains over time. These are also one of the hardest types of blockages to clear.
OTTAWA BACKFLOW PREVENTION PROGRAM
About the program
The Backflow Prevention Program assures that devices are installed to prevent contaminated water from flowing back into the city’s water supply. Ensuring public safety and long-term safety of shared water resources. Many people are unaware that backflow conditions can jeopardize system water quality, posing a health risk to consumers drinking water from the system.
What is backflow?
In most cases, drinking water flows from the City’s distribution system into a property’s private water system. Backflow happens when there’s a reversal of water flow, usually due to changes in water pressure. This ‘backflow’ can cause pollutants to enter the drinking water system.
RANDOM PLUMBING TIP
Toilet Clogs: First things first, don’t panic! Most toilet clogs can be fixed with your trusty plunger but sometimes it’s not that easy. If you’ve tried to use your plunger and your toilet is still clogged you can try the dish soap technique. If you can get your hands on 1 cup of dish soap and a few cups of hot water, this may help you. Put both the dish soap and hot water in your toilet and let it sit for about 15 minutes, then flush the toilet. Since dish soap can help break up and dissolve grease on dishes it can do the same thing to help your toilet.
If your toilet is still clogged, give our professional Ottawa plumbers a call today!
