THE BEST PLUMBER NEAR ME
HIRE LOCAL EXPERTS FROM HITECH FOR TOILET UNCLOGGING SERVICES!
Plumbing problems often require immediate attention due to the increasing risk of flooding and the resulting costly damages. While many homeowners believe they can handle these issues on their own, they often lack the necessary skills and experience to do so effectively.
DIY methods for unclogging drains are popular among Canadian homeowners. Techniques range from mixing vinegar and baking soda to pouring hot water down the drain. However, these methods are not always effective and can sometimes harm your pipes. The plunger is another common tool, but it must be used correctly to avoid damage.
To use a plunger effectively, ensure it is covered with water. Adjust the water level as needed. Position the plunger to cover the drain hole at a 45-degree angle, then push until the water starts to flush without breaking the seal. If these methods fail to resolve the blockage, it's time to call in the professionals for mechanical and hydrodynamic drain cleaning.

PERFORMING TOILET REPAIR AND REPLACEMENT
Toilets, though reliable, can encounter various issues beyond blockages, leading to questions about whether to repair or replace them. Here are some scenarios where repair may suffice:
- Running Toilet: If pushing down on the flapper stops the leak, a professional can replace the flapper for a proper seal.
- Faulty Flapper or Broken Lift Chain: These can prevent flushing and may need professional repair.
- Low Water Level: Check if the tank shut-off valve is closed. If the bowl has a partial clog, it may need professional cleaning.
If repairs are insufficient, replacement might be necessary in cases like:
- Frequent Blockages: Constant use of DIY methods like baking soda and vinegar indicates a deeper issue.
- Multiple Porcelain Cracks: These can harbor bacteria and cause leaks.
- Continuous Fixes: Ongoing problems may be more cost-effective to resolve with a new toilet.
Avoid DIY replacement attempts and trust our experienced professionals with the right tools for the job.
BENEFITS OF DRAIN SNAKING FOR YOUR TOILET
Traditional DIY methods like baking soda and vinegar or chemical drain cleaners are only effective for minor clogs and can damage pipes. Plungers can also cause harm if used incorrectly. The most reliable and gentle method is drain snaking.
A drain snake is a long, retractable cable designed to remove clogs without damaging porcelain bowls. The process involves:
- Inserting the Snake: Insert the cable into the bowl and down the drain.
- Turning the Lever: Rotate the lever clockwise until the snake passes through the drain.
- Removing the Blockage: Rotate the lever counterclockwise to pull out the clog.
Inexperienced homeowners risk worsening the issue with DIY snaking. Professional technicians ensure safe and effective clog removal.
UNCLOGGING A SEWER LINE
A properly functioning sewer line is crucial for your home’s plumbing. Blockages can lead to severe issues, including waste backing up into your home. For effective sewer line unclogging, contact HiTech Plumbing Services.
Sewer lines are wider than individual drain pipes, making blockages more challenging to remove. Professional tools like hydro-jetting or drain augers with rotating blades are necessary. Hydro-jetting uses high-pressure water to clear debris, and it can be a preventive measure as well as a solution.
Our round-the-clock service ensures prompt attention to your clogged sewer line. With professional tools and techniques, we provide effective and lasting solutions. Take advantage of our valuable coupons and promotions to save on our services.
FIXING A LEAKING TOILET
Leaking at the base of a toilet is a common issue caused by loosened tee bolts, worn-out wax rings, or condensation problems. Prompt professional attention is essential to prevent further damage.
Our specialists diagnose the cause and choose the appropriate solution:
- Tightening Tee Bolts: Using an open-end wrench to ensure the wax ring’s compression.
- Replacing Wax Rings: Disconnecting the toilet, removing the old wax ring, and installing a new one.
- Addressing Condensation: Replacing the flapper or insulating the water tank as needed.
A single call to HiTech Plumbing Services ensures efficient and cost-effective repair of your leaking toilet.
REPLACING TOILET DRAIN PIPES
Detecting minor drain pipe issues is difficult; the consequences, such as a rising floor or sewer smell, are more evident. Common causes include worn-out wax rings, corrosion, or other defects. Here’s how we handle toilet drain pipe replacement:
- Removing the Toilet: As described earlier.
- Removing the Flange: Unscrew and remove deck screws.
- Cutting the Floor: Carefully cut around the drain pipe and remove part of a nearby wall, if necessary.
- Installing New Pipes: Fit the new pipe and flange securely, ensuring proper sealing.
Only experienced technicians can guarantee a proper drain replacement. Contact HiTech Plumbing Services, even on weekends and holidays, to hire skilled professionals with over 5 years of expertise. We look forward to serving you!
