What Does "Stoppage" Mean?

What Do I Do If I Think I Have a Stoppage?

If you notice that water is not draining properly or seems to be blocked in certain areas, it’s likely due to a stoppage. In some cases, you may be able to alleviate the issue yourself by using an over-the-counter drain cleaner. However if this isn't successful, it's best to contact your local plumber who should be able to diagnose and resolve the problem quickly and efficiently.

How Do Plumbers Fix a Stoppage? 

In most cases, plumbers will use a drain snake to remove the blockage. This device is inserted in the pipe and works by pushing through any debris that is blocking the path of water. If a drain snake does not resolve the issue, your local plumber may recommend other methods such as hydro-jetting or chemical treatments depending on what’s causing the stoppage.
