By Punch Rockgroin

The experts at Las Vegas plumbing are there to help the real estate investor or the first time home buyer. Las Vegas like many areas have been hit by the home foreclosure crisis. Many homes are up for sale by banks that have taken back properties from the original borrowers. Real estate investors and first time home buyers have the same challenge; having to rehab the foreclosed property after buying it.

When people have their homes go through foreclosure they have a few months before having to vacate. They allow the house to go into disrepair. They even sometimes damage the house themselves simply to get back at the bank for taking their home. So by the time you get the home you will have work to do. Start on the plumbing so you can limit any water damage. Cracked pipes, leaks, clogged drains, can make your house repairs even more extensive if you do not take care of them as soon as you are in possession of the property.

You can call the plumber for any problem big or small or you can try to take care of the problems you think you can handle. If the kitchen sink is clogged up here are some tips for you if you think you can repair it.

Buy from any hardware store a sink snake. Pull out the snake and enter the drain with the end. Pull it up and down and you will take out the material that is causing the clog. Be aware that the smell as you pull the snake back up can be pretty bad. Wear gloves so that you do not get the gunk on your hands. Have a lot of towels available to keep the area clean. Then throw away the towels.

The snake end has little prongs on it that you can reach anything that is in the drain. The prong will grab anything that is clogging your sink. When the clog is removed carefully turn the wheel on the snake and it will roll back into the container.

If the clog is within the reach of the simple sink snake you will be able to clear it. However, some clogs are far into the system. You will not be able to reach it with a simple sink snake. You have to call an expert plumber with the electric power snake to clear it.

Professional plumbers like the ones at Las Vegas plumbing handle the jobs the do it your self person is not able to handle. That is what professionals do. - 29977
