The Mother of All Blockage Breakers: Hydro Jetting
John the Plumber Hamilton has years of experience in draining and de-clogging drains and pipes of all kinds. Pouring corrosive drain cleaners down your pipes to loosen a clog is not an option to us, and sometimes a block is so bad that a snake or hand auger will only make a small hole in it, or push the blockage further down.
Insulation: Don’t Let The Pipes Freeze!
The Hamilton Region is known for extreme temperatures, and if you have lived through even one winter you probably have experienced a pipe freezing in your home or know of someone who has. Water expands as it freezes. If given the chance it has the potential to expand as much as 10%, and can cause one or multiple pipes to burst.
