The problem is that there are many different ways that a drain can be clogged. You could have a drain clogged by toilet paper, or by a tree root. Both types of clogs can be dealt with in different ways. Chemicals can be used to deal with the blog caused by grease or toilet paper, while machinery, like a grinder, has to be used to get rid of a tree root.
Not knowing what type of blockage is in your line can cost you money, time and effort. As well, if you are going to remedy a flooding situation, you want to make sure that what you do doesn’t damage the pipes you have in the ground outside your home.
