HOW TO DE-CLOG DRAIN PIPES – THE<br />
EASY WAY<br />
Don’t use guesswork when it comes to your blocked drain.<br />
A gurgling toilet or slow sink can soon turn into an all-day<br />
backyard exploration mission! But your plumber doesn’t have to<br />
spend all day digging up your beautiful yard and turning it into<br />
a messy mud pit just to fi nd the pesky problem.<br />
<strong>The</strong>re’s a better way to get your toilet fl ushing again. A special<br />
camera and high-pressure cleaner specifi cally designed for your<br />
pipes can save both time and money. A camera is sent down<br />
the pipe to pinpoint the problem; the pipe is then cleaned<br />
without digging up the pipe.<br />
