Clear Clogged Drains

One Plumbing & Drain Cleaning — Sat, 18 Apr 2026 23:54:54 +0900

As the pool of water collects around the drain, you get a sinking feeling in your stomach. You dread another costly visit from the plumber. However, clogged drains are usually easy enough to correct on your own. An average homeowner should be able to clear most clogs in two hours or less, depending on the severity of the clog. This article explains a number of simple ways to unclog drains and how to avoid clogged drains in the future.

Locating the Clog

When faced with a clogged drain, the first thing you need to do is to figure out where the clog is. If only one sink, shower, bath, or toilet in the house is backing up, relax. Your task should be fairly simple since the clog is probably confined to the trap of that fixture. If more than one fixture is clogging up, the blockage will usually be in the main drain line. Unclogging the main drain is a little more difficult, but not impossible.

Cleaning Strainers and Stoppers

Many clogs collect around the strainer or stopper in the sink or bathtub. To unclog the drain, all you may need to do is remove the strainer and clean it. Here are a few tips:

If there is a strainer over the clogged drain, you should remove any screws holding the strainer in place and then pry the strainer up with the tip of a standard screwdriver. When the strainer is loose, remove and wash away anything that has collected around the strainer. Clean around the top of the drain.

Stoppers need to be cleaned on a regular basis since hair tends to twist around their base. First remove the sink stopper. Some stoppers are removed by turning them with your fingers. Others require that you unscrew a pivot rod that is connected to the opener. This rod should be located under the base of the sink. If you need to use pliers to remove the stopper, make sure to pad them so you won't chip the chrome finish. Once the stopper is removed, clean it and wipe out the base of the drain opening.

Using the Plunger

One of the most trusted tools for unclogging drains, the plunger, can usually clear the blockage if it's not too far into the main drain. Follow these tips to make plunging more effective:

Block the overflow holes, other drains in adjacent sinks, or any other openings by stuffing wet rags into the holes.
If water is not already present in the basin, run two to three inches of water over the drain hole. The water helps to force the obstruction out of the way and lets you know when you succeed in pushing the clog out.

Apply a thick layer of petroleum jelly to the rim of the plunger. The petroleum jelly helps to create a tighter seal, thereby producing greater suction.

Force the plunger handle down powerfully numerous times. After plunging for a minute or two, stop to test whether water will drain from the sink. Try plunging again if the drain is still sluggish. When clear, run hot water to flush away any remaining particles from the clog.

Cleaning the Trap

If a plunger won't clear the clog, you'll need to clean the trap under the sink as follows:

Make sure you have a bucket in place to catch waste water.
Check to see if there is a clean-out plug in the trap; it will be a square or hexagonal plug in the base of the bend. If so, remove the plug and push a straightened coat hanger or bottle brush around the bends of the trap to remove debris.

If the trap does not have a clean-out plug, remove the trap by loosening two couplings that hold the trap in place. If you have chrome pipe fittings, you'll need to pad the water pump pliers to protect the finish. Penetrating oil may help to loosen a stubborn trap joint.

Hold the trap over the bucket and insert a straightened coat hanger or bottle brush into the trap. Force the hanger or bottle brush around the curves and push out debris.

Wash the trap with hot, soapy water.

Before reconnecting, check the trap for wear or corrosion. The metal or plastic material may begin to thin and start to leak. If you notice wear, replace the trap. When you reassemble the trap after cleaning, you many need to reseal the threads. Use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape.

Using a Sewer Snake

If the trap is clear and the drain still clogs, the blockage is further into the sink's drain pipe or the main drain. To clear these drains, you'll need a plumber's auger or, as it is more commonly called, a sewer snake. Use as follows:

With the trap removed, insert the snake into the sink drain line and push in until you meet the obstruction.

When the tip of the snake is against the clog, try to hook the clog by twisting the snake's handle clockwise.

When the debris is solidly hooked, twist and push the clog back and forth until you break up the clog. Flush the pipe with cold water.

Once the clog is gone, reassemble the sink's trap. When you reassemble the trap after cleaning, you need to reseal the threads. Use pipe joint compound or Teflon tape. Run water for a few minutes to make sure the clog is completely flushed and the trap is not leaking where it has been reconnected.

Clearing With Chemical Drain Cleaners

If the methods above fail, the next logical step is to use a chemical drain cleaner. Fast-acting chemical drain cleaners usually contain a high concentration of lye or sulfuric acid to burn through all sorts of tough clogs quickly and thoroughly.

When using a chemical drain opener, make sure to read and follow all of the directions and warnings on the bottle. After following the directions on the bottle, remember to run plenty of water to flush the chemicals out of your pipes.

Unclogging the Main Drain

If more than one sink, bathtub or toilet is clogged, you'll need to clean out the main drain line or the sewer.

To clean out the main drain line, find the clean-out plugs located on the large drain pipes. Look for these plugs on the vertical pipes in your basement or crawl space. In some houses these drains may be located in a garage or pantry closet, or there may be access to these plugs outdoors along the foundations of your house. Usually these pipes will be vertical, but occasionally a plug may be located on a horizontal pipe.

When you find a steel or plastic cap for the pipes with a square fitting at the top, remove the fitting with a wrench. Be sure to have a waste bucket in place when opening up the drain.

Use a plumber's snake to break up any clogs. Make sure to insert the auger in both directions of the pipe. You can also use a powerful stream of water from your garden hose to break up any debris.

Replace the steel cap of the drain pipe.

Preventing Clogged Drains

Okay, you've finally gotten that drain unclogged. You'd prefer never to experience the mess and inconvenience of a clogged drain again. Keeping your drains clear is probably easier than you think. With a few simple precautions, you can prevent your drains from clogging.

Tips for the Kitchen Sink

Pour grease into cans and throw them in the garbage. If you empty grease into the sink, the grease collects along the sides of the pipe and then food particles stick to the pipes, eventually contributing to a clog. Also too much grease can eventually cause sewer blockages since the bacteria in sewage systems cannot readily break down grease.

When you are grinding up food in a disposal, run plenty of cold water to flush food particles down the pipe. Using too little water can contribute to the particles collecting along the sides of the pipe.

Don't empty coffee grounds in the sink.

Pour a kettle of boiling water down the drain once a week to melt away any fat or grease that may have collected.

Tips for the Bathroom

Clean the pop-up stoppers in sinks frequently. Hair often collects here and causes clogs.

Never flush heavy paper products down the drain. Excess paper can clog the toilet and/or the whole sewer system.

General Tips

Never dump chemicals like paint or paint thinner down the drain. Avoid pouring hot wax or other substances in the drains.

If you have your own home septic tank, have a professional inspect it every two to three years. Some regions require septic tank inspection on a regular basis. Check with your local health board about the rules in your community.

Every six months, keep your drains running clear by using a non-caustic drain cleaner.

What People Say

One Plumbing & Drain Cleaning — Thu, 2 Apr 2026 00:14:15 +0900

Chen

I had a really bad drain blockage that another plumber couldn’t fix even after several hours. Then I called One Plumbing, and he cleared it completely in one visit. I’m so grateful for his expertise and honesty. Highly recommend his service!

Answer: I really appreciate your thoughtful review! I’m really glad I could help resolve the tough blockage for you after the previous attempt didn’t work out. I always do my best to get everything flowing perfectly again. I truly appreciate your trust and recommendation!

Brian

Today, while cleaning under the sink by chance, I discovered that an electrical wire was exposed and didn't know what to do. So, I sought the help of Red Seal Plumber, Yong Won Song. He also recognized that this was a very dangerous situation and handled it cleanly, for which I was very grateful. He kept the appointment time accurately, was very kind, and explained everything in detail, and resolved the potentially significant problem well. I am very thankful and recommend him to everyone.

Shiv Bercasio

Was able to help in an emergency. Was very professional, detailed and helpful.

Jeff Knox

While I did not use their business, they were very prompt and detailed explaining why they could not handle my particular job requirements. This saved a potentially wasted service call and showed they are trustworthy and reliable.

Answer: Hello, Mr. Jeff Knox.
Camera inspection tasks are sometimes not simple. I saw photos of the house on the real estate website and gave you some advice to help you make a better choice. I wish you the best of luck. Thank you.

Tony Kong

Very good service. Came immediately on a Saturday within half an hour and even taught me to unclog the toilet! Highly recommended.

Answer: Thank you for your comment! I hope I taught you enough for you to unclog your toilet. Perhaps you will never need a plumber again.

Sophie Ludtke

Won was so helpful. He got here really fast for an emergency.
He was able to fix a really bad clog and stop a huge leak that soaked the entire downstairs.
He was very informative, professional, and answered all of my questions too.
Very polite and patient while we were panicking and explaining everything.
If you want fast and good service, call this company.

Answer: Hello, Ms. Sophie Ludtke. Thank you for your review.

Scott Venton

Great service. Went above and beyond.
Took the extra time to video the whole storm drain and walk and
talk me through the problems that he found.

Answer : Hello, Mr.Scott Venton. I hope that your neighbor will work with you to get rid of trees.
I think the tree right next to the fence is stubborn.
Digging would be meaningless if the tree is still there.
The tree will grow for the rest of its life and it will continue to plague your storm drain line.
Even if you replace the drain.. I sincerely wish you good luck. Thank you!

What Kind of Problems Can Plumbing Camera Inspection Detect?

One Plumbing & Drain Cleaning — Mon, 2 Feb 2026 01:29:49 +0900

Even for professional plumbers, it can be difficult to detect what’s really going on in your plumbing system with the naked eye. How do you know what’s going on out of sight, below ground? That’s where plumbing camera inspection comes in. In order to diagnose the true cause of your plumbing issues, you need a plumbing company who has the right knowledge and the right technology to see what’s happening below ground level.

A plumbing video camera inspection can help discover those hard to identify problems that can occur out of plain sight. Here are some of the problems that a video plumbing inspection can discover:

Tree Roots

A video camera inspection is an excellent way to discover if any tree roots have penetrated your drainage system. If tree roots are discovered in your system, our camera system ensures that digging will only occur in the exact location of the problem. Mess, time and cost are kept to a minimum. To prevent roots from penetrating your drainage system in the future, plastic pipes will be used, and tree roots will be treated to prevent re-growth.

Damaged Pipes

Cracks, deformed pipes, misaligned joints or crushed pipes are all very common issues that can be discovered during a plumbing camera inspection. The condition of your pipes is essential to the overall functioning of your drain system. A video camera inspection can quickly identify which types of damage your pipes are experiencing, and where the issues are located. Your plumber can then target the exact areas that need to be excavated and replaced.

Blockages & Buildup

Blockages or grease buildup in your pipes can be a serious issue. Blockages can be caused by compacted paper, grease, hair or other substances becoming trapped in your pipes. If you suspect there a blockage somewhere in your drainage system, it’s best to call in the experts.

Why Should You Have a Video Camera Plumbing Inspection?

Whether you are already experiencing major plumbing issues, or are looking to purchase a new home, a plumbing camera inspection can help you correct and prevent problems from becoming more serious. A complete understanding of what is happening in your underground plumbing and drainage system is necessary to properly address major issues in basements and to make drain repairs. These are some of the most costly repairs to make, so you’ll want to be 100% sure of what the problem is so it can be fixed correctly.

Ceiling wet due to toilet leak

One Plumbing & Drain Cleaning — Mon, 1 Sep 2025 00:07:40 +0900

The flange should sit on top of the finished floor, if it doesn't you'll have to modify the plumbing or find another way to achieve this.This problem causes the toilet to leak.

Notice in this image how the toilet waste pipe sits just inside the flange opening, this is the proper way for a toilet to sit on a flange. Even without a wax ring, this union is not likely to leak under normal circumstances.

Wax as a waste pipe?

Some folks recommend using a thicker wax ring, or even doubling up wax rings. The problem with this, is that you end up with a waste pipe made from wax. Now this might hold up, but more than likely it's eventually going to fail, and leak.

Modify the plumbing

If you have access to the flange from below, you might be able to modify the plumbing to make the flange sit atop the floor. In most cases, however, this is not an option.

a toilet flange basically affixes your toilet to the floor/plumbing. In order for a toilet to properly form a seal with the wax ring underneath it, the flange needs to sit above the surface of the floor by around ¼ inch. That seal is what keeps your nasty toilet water from making its way between the layers of flooring and subflooring. In a worst-case scenario that water eventually makes its way into another room. Yuck. To help you visualize the difference between a toilet flange set too low and one set correctly, I’ve made a quick diagram, below.

When Dale Kennedy of Scarborough, Ont. had some water in her basement this past October she was concerned she could end up with a flooded basement.

“I had a backup in my basement and water coming in and I didn't know what to do," said Kennedy.

The senior went online and found a plumbing company that could come over to check the problem right away. Kennedy was told she had a breakage in a sewer pipe near the exterior wall at the front of her house.

Kennedy was told the problem could be repaired but would require an excavation, take three to five days and cost her $33,335.

Is there a clog in my main sewer drain?

One Plumbing & Drain Cleaning — Sun, 1 May 2022 23:59:05 +0900

Is there a clog in my main sewer drain?

Is your toilet emitting strange burbling noises? Does water bubble out from your shower while running your washing machine. You can rest assured that your house is not haunted. These are amongst the signs that indicate you might have a choked main sewer drain line, which is a severe plumbing problem. The plumbing all over your house can be impacted by a clogged sewer drain line. In extreme scenarios, you may end up with raw human waste backing up out of your drains.

What leads to a choked sewer drain line?

In the majority of cases, especially in old houses, the smooth operating of your sewage system can be hampered by tree roots. Tree roots attracted to the moisture and warmth of a sewer line, creep in through loose joints or tiny cracks in the plumbing. These roots, feeding on the abundant nutrients over there, grow and block the sewer line. Eventually, other debris including toilet paper gets trapped by the roots, preventing water from flowing freely through the main sewer drain line.

Flushing sanitary products, like extra-thick toilet paper, feminine hygiene products, facial tissues, or even paper towels, can clog your sewer line too. However, these problems are limited, considering that sewer pipes are typically 6″ in diameter. In other words, clogging the drain requires a lot of loose material.

Signs of a Clogged Sewer Line

Check for these early cautionary signals of a clogged sewer line, so that you can fix the problem before it escalates into a costly emergency.

All of your drains are draining slowly, despite your best efforts to unclogged them. The chances are that the blockage is in your sewer line if you have unsuccessfully attempted all of the DIY unclogging pointers in this list sans any solution.

Several plumbing fixtures are clogged simultaneously. If your shower, tub, kitchen sink, and toilets are all backed up, chances are you have a blocked sewer line. Toilet outlets have the biggest drain line and the most direct route to the sewer. Your toilet will be first affected in case the clog is in your sewer line. In case your toilets are working fine, but the other fixtures in your home are still draining slowly or are backed up totally, your main sewer line probably does not have a block.

Does water back up into or comes up in the shower or tub when you flush the toilet? This happens when the sewer line is clogged, preventing water from flushing down the drain. On the contrary, it flows back up the pipes and surfaces at the lowest point… typically the shower drain.

Do your toilet gurgles and bubbles when you run water in the bathroom sink? This happens due to air trapped in the plumbing system. Run water for about a minute in the sink closest to the toilet. You may have a clogged sewer line if the toilet gurgles or if the water level rise in the toilet.

Does water backs up in the shower or tub or does the toilet overflow when your washing machine drains? You probably do not have a blocked sewer line in case your toilets are flushing correctly.

How to Unclog a Sewer Line

Thankfully, you can restore your plumbing system to pristine condition by taking prompt action.

Release the pressure:

Turn off the water supply from the main supply when you first observe symptoms of a clogged sewer line. Survey your roof, basement, or yard and see if you can locate your sewer cleanout line. This is typically a 3 or 4-inch diameter short white pipe, sealed with a screw-on cap. Remove the cap after identifying the cleanout line. This ought to release the pressure in the sewer line and force any backed up water into your home to drain.

Chemical drain cleaning:

You can use chemicals to remove the clog in your sewer line if they are caused by tree roots. Certain plumbers suggest killing tree roots by flushing copper sulfate down the toilet; however, this substance quickly flushes away, implying that you may have to repeat the process several times to clear the clog. Be aware that certain municipalities prohibit the use of copper sulfate. Also, it is not safe for septic systems. Try flushing down a root-killing foam that contains the dichlobenil (an herbicide) down your toilet in case copper sulfate is not a suitable option for unclogging your sewer line. Its foam adheres to the pipes and eliminates the tree roots in a couple of hours. However, it may still require a couple of months for dead roots to be eliminated from your sewage system.

Mechanical cleaning of drains.

Professional sewer cleaners possess tools for removing clogs from main sewer drain lines. One of the most popular tools is a flexible and specially designed cable known popularly as a drain snake or an auger. This tool is often used electricity to run. A few of them are truck mounted and are fed bit by bit into the sewer line until the plumber can reach the clog and break it apart. Plumbers may also employ a high-pressure water jet to blow away other debris and tree roots down the sewer line. While you “can do this job yourself by renting these tools, both of them can damage your pipes if misused.” according to the Arizona plumbers at grandcanyonac.com. Therefore, it is best to leave this cleaning job to a professional.

Camera Inspection.

You can request for a visual (camera) inspection to find out the cause of the blockage if the water jet or auger does not unclog the sewer line. The miniature camera can reveal breaks and cracks in the sewer pipe, as well as other issues in the line that may require the attention of your local sanitation department.

What is Drano?

One Plumbing & Drain Cleaning — Wed, 2 Dec 2020 00:49:08 +0900

What is Drano?

Drano is lye-based household drainage cleaner product sold in several forms, consisting in variations of sodium hydroxide (lye), sodium hypochlorate (bleach), sodium nitrate, sodium chloride (salt) and aluminum.

How it Works

When Drano is poured down a drain, several chemical reactions happen at the same time. Drano’s main ingredient is sodium hydroxide, commonly known as lye, a substance that decomposes most organic matter. Hair and grease included. The lye is mixed with small shards of aluminum, creating a strong reaction that generates heat at near-boiling temperatures. The high heat theoretically speeds up the decomposition process.

Tap water, too, reacts with the lye to produce more heat, softening deposits lining a dirty drain. Lye then reacts with the softened grease, creating soap that the hot water dissolves, and again with the aluminum to form hydrogen bubbles. The bubbles loosen the clog particles, creating space for the hot water to carry it all down the drain. In just one slosh you’ll get intense heat, soap making, bubble forming, dissolving proteins and fat breakdown. In other words, much more than your drain should have to handle.

Why Drano is Dangerous

1. Drano damages plumbing systems. Drano sits in a pipe until the clog dissolves, continually reacting and generating heat. Toilet bowls can crack. PVC pipes can soften and eventually break. Old, corroded pipes can be easily damaged, and Drano can quickly eat away at the glue holding pipes together.

2. Drano is unpredictable if combined with other products or equipment. When using plumbing tools, like a plunger or an auger, Drano can splash up and burn your skin, and get into your eyes and lungs. If even a small amount of Drano remains in the drain, and you use a chemical cleaning product soon after, the two products might react unfavourably to create toxic fumes. You never know what kind of chemical reaction you might get when introducing Drano to a plumbing system.

3. Drano can burn skin, irritate eyes, and hurt lungs. Drano is caustic, meaning it has the ability to burn or corrode organic tissue by chemical action. When a Jiffy plumber gets called in to to fix a clogged drain, they typically ask the customer if they've tried Drano already. If so, the plumber comes back 24 hours later because Drano makes their working conditions unsafe.

Final Word? Forget Drano

Our plumbers would never use Drano in their own homes because they've witnessed the extensive damage it can cause. It’s dangerous for you, harsh on your plumbing system, and bad for the environment. Even if you think it's an effective quick fix, Drano is never a long-term solution.

British Columbia Contractor License Requirements

One Plumbing & Drain Cleaning — Mon, 2 Nov 2020 01:28:41 +0900

British Columbia Contractor License Requirements

B.C.'s Homeowner Protection Act is a set of builder licensing laws established by the Homeowner Protection Office (HPO). This came about as a result of a large amount of unsafe buildings and ones that were built cheaply and were not keeping out water. Many buildings became inundated with mold and rot causing millions of dollars of retrofits. Much of the cost for this damage could not be charged back to the building companies because they no longer existed.

In the province of B.C. provincial licensing is required for the following contractors and trades:

What is TQ#?

Hello, the BC Building Code, Part 7 Plumbing Services 7.1.4.1. 1) personnel performing installation, alteration or repair on a plumbing system shall

a) possess a British Columbia tradesman's qualification as a plumber.

TQ# is the tradesman qualification as a journeyman plumber, this you must have to apply for a business license to work within the City on plumbing systems.

Licenses

Licensed Residential Builder

Any person engaging in the process of constructing a home in B.C., including Vancouver and Victoria, must be a Licensed Residential Builder and must provide home warranties covering the building. The term of this warranty is usually up to 7 years and is a restricted insurance. This contractor is responsible for everything to do with the construction from pulling the permits and excavating to finishing off the landscaping. He or she must also make sure that the trades such as electricians and plumbers, are also licensed by the province.

Licensed Building Envelope Renovator

A building envelope renovator is a contractor who remodels the building without making major structural changes. He or she can add a portion onto the home and move some walls but the foundation must. Not only must a building envelope renovator be licensed as same but must also provide warranty insurance on the renovation. Just like the residential builder the building envelope renovator must use licensed subtrades where applicable. This includes for kitchen and bathroom remodeling.

Gas Piping License

Not to be confused with a gasfitter the holder of this license also has a Sheet Metal trades Certification of Qualification (C of Q) and may install and test gas piping. Due to the explosive nature of highly pressurized gas a special license is required.

Gas Venting License

The holder may alter, repair and install venting in high pressure natural gas and propane applications. Again, due to the explosive nature of highly pressurized gas a special license is required.

Certification of Qualification (C of Q)

In other trades the workers must show that they have achieved certification training called the Certification of Qualification (C of Q)

Refrigeration and Air Conditioning Mechanic

These mechanics provide installation, maintenance and rebuilding for residential, industrial and commercial refrigeration and air conditioning systems. To work on refrigeration units and air conditioning systems require compulsory C of Q. However, a skilled apprentice is also allowed to work in this trade on the advisement of his or her supervisor.

Sheet Metal Worker.

A certified sheet metal worker is responsible for the design, manufacture, installation, erection, assembling or dismantling of sheet metal products including air supply systems. They also repair and service a wide variety of sheet metal-based equipment. These include furnaces, fan systems and ventilation devices.

Plumber

2.2.1.2. Personnel Performing Plumbing Work

1) Personnel performing installation, alteration or repair on a plumbing system shall

a) possess a tradesman's qualification certification as a plumber,

b) be an indentured apprentice supervised by a journeyman possessing a tradesman's

qualification certification as a plumber.

Plumbers need to be licensed and qualified to install,

operate or perform maintenance on certified equipment.

Plumbers and companies working with regulated technologies must be licensed.

Some contractors and Field Safety Representatives need a certificate of qualification to train or supervise others.

- CANADA Building Code in National Plumbing Code and B.C Safety Authority -

Electrician

An electrician in British Columbia does not have to be licensed but requires a Certification of Qualification to work in this trade. This certification training also relates working in cities like Vancouver and Victoria.

Electricians are allowed to work on residential, institutional, commercial, industrial and civic electrical systems. This includes residential work such as wiring kitchens and bathrooms

Gas Fitter

Only registered contractors and licensed employees of registered contractors may install or alter a gas system. As with the rules in other provinces gas fitters have varying degrees of certification training that must be registered. This includes installing gas fittings for kitchen remodeling and bathroom renovations where gas-fired tankless systems are installed. In other works a plumber can install the water linkage but a gas fitter has to hook up the gas lines and test the system. This designation is required in all parts of the province including Vancouver, Prince George, Kelowna and Victoria.

Gasfitter Class A: This classification allows a gasfitter to install or alter any gas system.

Gasfitter Class B: This gasfitter has a piping trades qualification and may install and/or alter atmospheric appliances with ventilation hoods and other equipment and vents up to and including 690,000 btuh (220kW).

HOW TO BECOME A PLUMBER

One Plumbing & Drain Cleaning — Sat, 7 Sep 2019 23:31:34 +0900

HOW TO BECOME A PLUMBER

1) Get your High School Diploma, GED or Equivalent:

A plumber needs a solid foundation in math, physics and blue print reading. Although not mandatory, a high school diploma or equivalent is recommended.

2) Pre-Apprentice Training:

Plumbers are required to start off as an apprentice in their respective fields. But before getting an employer to hire you as an apprentice, you will need some prior training. This is where a pre-apprenticeship training program can mean the difference between finding employment or not. At the Skilled Trades College, we have a Plumbing Pre Apprentice Program to give students the right mix of theory and hands-on experience needed to make them successful apprentices. Plumbing classes at Skilled Trades College of Canada will provide you with safety training, introduction to plumbing, theory, plumbing code, residential prints, math for plumbers, and plumbing practical techniques. The certificate will help you learn your water supply, drainage systems, as well as working with piping equipment.

3) Start your Plumbing Apprenticeship:

After you have successfully completed a plumbing pre apprenticeship program, you will then take part in your apprenticeship, where you will earn while you learn, where you get paid for the work you do while learning the respective trade, and ever so often, you will go back to school for eight-week blocks of technical training. After completing 9,000 apprenticeship hours, you can apply to write your certificate of qualification exam.

4) Get your License:

After completing your plumbing training, obtaining and completing your plumbing apprenticeship, and passing your C of Q exam, you will then obtain your license to become fully certified in your region.

Plumbing Maintenance Tips

One Plumbing & Drain Cleaning — Sat, 7 Sep 2019 09:21:29 +0900

Maintenance For Pipes:

Dripping faucets
Dripping faucets is a common problem in most homes but also the most assumed problem. Most of us tend to assume it since it seems to be an issue that cannot lead to much water loss. However, this is not the case. If you use a drip calculator to find how much bills it adds you, you might end up changing this misconception. Besides, if you happen to leave a bucket filling water from these drips, you will find that a lot of water is lost from the drips that you ignore. Moreover, if you leave this problem for a long time, It can result to wearing out of the silicone that enhances a tight water seal on your faucet, thereby leading to water flowing from your faucet even after closing your tap. While it might appear easy to replace the worn out silicone, it is better off left for professional plumbers who have the right tools and knowledge to handle the problem and avoid greater damage.
Low water pressure
Reduced water pressure is a problem that arises in many households as a result of various reasons. Since you may not have an idea of the reason behind such a problem, you need to engage a professional plumber to help you in the inspection through the piping system so you can detect the cause. The main leading causes of low water pressure are clogs due to sediments and minerals that form a layer on the inner surface of water pipes or shower heads, failing or partially shut valves, hidden water leaks, and many others. Therefore, if you note a sudden or over time change in water pressure, have a plumber come and inspect your piping system before the problem becomes too complicated to solve.
Running toilets
Overflowing toilets is another issue in homes that can cause a lot of water wastage and hiking bills. Most causes of toilet running problems are easy to fix while some aren’t. Toilets can run due to a flapper that no longer seals. You can detect such if you note that the water from the tank seeps around the flapper and into the bowl. The best solution to this problem is to purchase a similar flapper and replace it by following the instructions given on the package. Another problem that can result to a running toilet is a loose chain or an out of place floater which you can easily fix by placing back the floater to its place or tightening the unhinged chain. Therefore it is necessary to first check out for the route cause for you to handle the issue correctly. However, if none of the above problems are the cause of running in your toilet, it is necessary to have a plumber help you find the route cause as there might be a clog in the system or a silent leak hard for you to detect.
Leaking pipes
This is a problem that you commonly find in your kitchen but less affects your bathroom which mainly occurs at the pipes joints. This issue is temporarily fixable using suitable compounds or commercial joint fillers to keep water from splashing. Some of the primary reasons behind a leaking pipe are corrosion resulting from a chemical reaction or tubes getting old, a sudden change of water pressure to too much that a tube cannot manage, clogs and many others. For a lasting solution to this problem, the need to replace sections of the affected parts is necessary whereby you need to have a professional plumber to replace these joints for you.
Slow or clogged drains
Clogged drains can either be a partial clog or a complete one. These clogs happen due to various reasons such as an accumulation of debris in your pipes causing water flow barrier, or flashing of big matter through the pipes. Minor clogs can be flashed out using home remedies where you can use a mixture of vinegar and baking soda and then run hot water in the system, or by using a plunger. However, if the pipes fail to unclog, the problem might be severe meaning that you will need a plumber who can professionally deal with the blockage. Note that you can avoid most of the problems that arise due to a blockage by taking extra caution of what you flash from your toilet or sink. Therefore, to be on the safe side avoid shooting items likely to cause a blockage and regularly use bio clean for your drains.
Absence of hot water
There are cases when you go for a hot shower but find out that there is no hot water or the water is too hot compared to other days. Such a sudden change in water temperature means that there is a problem with the plumbing or the water heater. Therefore, you need to get the cause of the issue. Lack of hot water in your bathroom may be as a result of a defect in the pilot light, a fail in the heating element, sediment buildup at the bottom of your water heater or a thermostat that isn’t working correctly. Also, if your water heater is a gas water heater, a leak in the gas line leading to the heater may be the cause of the problem. Such a problem should be handled by a professional plumber in the soonest time possible as it can be a very dangerous issue.
Frozen pipes and drains
For most homeowners, many plumbing problems arise due to frozen pipes and drains. You may occasionally experience a burst in your pipes as a result of a change in temperatures, a close down of your drain system, or persistent plumbing issues. All these problems should give you an idea that your pipes might be frozen. The best part of this is that you can remedy these problems by finding out the reason of the freezing. Some of such reasons include a sudden drop in temperature while no flow is in the pipes, lack of insulation on your pipes, or improper thermostat setting. So, to avoid lots of issues in your plumbing as a result of frozen pipes and drains, it is necessary to consult a plumber to detect the cause of the freezing and remedy the problem appropriately.

Having discussed the plumbing problems that you are likely to come across as a homeowner, you can see that some of them are easy for you to repair while others need a plumber. When you decide to fix some of these problems by a do-it-yourself, below are some tips to lead you through.

Quick Maintenance Tips:

Cut off all water supply to the pipe you are repairing. Hence you need to be aware of the location of all valves.
Dress appropriately since fixing a pipe can get messy.
Buy replacement parts from a trusted supplier for quality material.
Have the contacts of a professional plumber by your side just in case you require one.

Why You Need Regular Maintenance For Your Pipes

With regular maintenance of your piping system and the involvement of a professional plumber for your plumbing issues, you can be sure of extending the life of your pipeline system. So apply the above tips to maintain your system and call for a plumber to avoid making the plumbing problems even worse.

Plumbing Maintenance Tips For Coquitlam Homeowners

Inspect your system regularly
Note that you may use your sink, bathroom or toilet daily, but you might not have an idea a current plumbing issue. So, it is necessary to make a regular inspection for silent leaks or changes in the water bills as this can help you avoid greater plumbing problems. Also, open your taps and check whether there is a change in water pressure as this can be a result of an undetected plumbing problem.
Repair any problems the sooner you detect them
You should avoid ignoring those problems that may seem minor to you, such as slow draining sinks or dripping faucets. Failure to repair such issues early may result to a greater problem that cannot be solved latter unless replaced. So, do not assume minor issues when it comes to your plumbing. Also, repair any leaks as soon as you can to prevent the leaks growing bigger.
Insulate pipes located outside
Most plumbing problems crop up during winter periods as a result of freezing pipes. So, it is necessary to keep your pipes protected by wrapping them with insulated covers and avoid waiting until it is too late.
Know the piping system
In case a pipe bursts in your home; it can cause greater damage if you do not have an idea of where the shutdown valve is. Besides, if you need to repair a problem, the first step should always be to shut down all water running through the pipes. So, it is necessary to know where all valves are located in case an emergency arises for the safety of your property.

With regular maintenance, you can keep the problems covered below at a minimal state. However, some of the challenges may still come up despite a routine maintenance. So, keep reading through and have an idea of some common problems that homeowners deal with when it comes to plumbing, and also have an idea of when to call a professional plumber.
