If you have noticed a gurgling in your sink, or that your toilet appears to be draining more slowly than it should, then you could have a foul water blockage in your pipes.
A proactive person might be tempted to try and solve this problem themselves, and head off to their local DIY store to pick up a set of drain rods ready to feed down the drains and attempt to dislodge any blockage.
Not Secure
Unfortunately, the kind of drain rods that are freely available at what appears to be an affordable cost is not entirely fit for purpose. Feeding a rod down a complex drain system is an unfamiliar task to most homeowners so it can be tricky even with the best equipment, but DIY drain rods screw together by hand, which means that they are far from secure.
In the process of trying to work the rods down the drains and through a blockage, the plunger or screw attachment or even the rods themselves can come loose and get left behind in the depths of the drain. This means that you could soon find yourself calling out a professional to help you, and end up paying a higher fee for a more complex job.
So in the long-run, DIY drain rods can be a very false economy indeed.
