Clogs & Drain Clearing Done By Our Plumbers In Federal Way

In newer homes, pipes are most often made from PVC or copper, materials that are smooth and less likely to clog. Older homes were constructed using galvanized or cast iron pipes, materials that are subject to corrosion and rust which can cause certain substances to clog when you flush them down the drain. The diameter of those pipes, due to the thickness of the exterior, was also smaller than that which you'll find in new pipes. Between the rough sides that grab hair and the smaller area water has to flow through, drains have a tendency to get backed up in older homes quite frequently.

Replacing some of that old pipe, particularly in the areas closest to sinks, tubs, and toilets, is a good idea if you're planning on owning your home for a while. The materials that are used in constructing plumbing equipment today are far more advanced than they were even ten years ago. Companies like Toto, American Standard, Kohler, and Gerber have led the way in fixtures and the discovery of new alloys and manufacturing techniques has helped advance our industry to an entirely different place.

Technology has revolutionized the plumbing industry as it has all other service industries. An old-fashioned plunger is still your best bet for trying to unclog a drain on your own, but if you need us to do it you'll be amazed at what we bring over to clear out that clog.
