BLOCKED DRAINS - D.I.Y. Buying rods or loaning rods? Use your head! Trying to clear your own blockage is an admirable idea, and never to be discouraged, however, a word to the wise… This cost saving idea may just turn out to bite you in the proverbial. Rods readily available for D.I.Y. purposes, off-the-shelf so to speak, are very basic, cheap, and poorly constructed universal rods. These poor-quality rods snap at the ferrules, loosen, detach in the drain and before you know it you have an even worse blockage on your hands. And to compound the problem, when this happens there’s usually an attachment on the end of the rod, a plunger for example. Universal rods have been around for a very long time, but the construction, if anything, has only got worse. And D.I.Y. is not going away anytime soon, especially in the current economic climate. And so, people, use these universal rods, but just be aware of the consequences should the worst happen. Removing lost rods and attachments from drainage systems can often be problematic, time consuming, sometimes involving necessary excavation and therefore costly.
