This results in water draining slowly and even backing up into the sink or tub. While some over the counter products can help to alleviate the dirt and grime, if there is hair clogged in the pipes it can be very difficult to get rid of, especially when it’s farther down the drain than most drain sticks can reach. Calling a plumber when this happens means you’ll have the drain running as good as new in no time.

A licensed plumber has all the right tools to get at the clog, no matter how far along it is. They have snakes that can go up to 300’ along, ensuring they can reach the clog even if it’s happened close to the sewer line. For tough to reach clogs they can utilize special tools to locate the clog so they know exactly where it is and what needs to be done.

Kitchen Sink Clogs

Another area which can get easily clogged is the kitchen sink. There are a lot of known reasons a kitchen sink can get clogged. Thick food being put down the garbage disposal, such as potato peelings, can cause it to clog, just like sticky pasta can. Another common reason the kitchen sink can get clogged is because the garbage disposal isn’t strong enough to chop up what’s being put down it.

While only professional garbage disposals can really work on things like potato peels or banana peels, a garbage disposal with a high horse power can usually do the trick. So for anyone who thinks their kitchen sink clogs too often, it may just be a matter of getting a garbage disposal with a higher horse power. Any licensed plumber can install one of these easily in a short period of time, enabling you to be able to not only get rid of more stuff, but to also get rid of slow draining sinks which can begin to smell over time.

So when you’ve got a clogged drain or kitchen sink that’s not working, a licensed plumber in Melbourne, Florida can get you back up and running in no time. They are well equipped to handle any clog and can do it quickly and efficiently, saving you time and money in the long run. To understand the best option for you, give your local plumber a call and get your home up and running in no time.
