What’ s in your toolbox?

This month we caught up with Blockbusters Plumbers to find out what tools they feel that they can’ t do without.
Blocked drains are a probably the one thing plumbers get called out to clear the most. Blockbusters Plumbers are certainly no strangers to the task.
“ My favourite tool is a hydro jetting machine,” says Paul Dodds, owner of Blockbusters Plumbers.“ With this you can never go wrong. It is my favourite because it can unclog and clean pipes that are blocked by tree roots, sludge or even grease and fats. It is very effective, eco-friendly and can prevent future blockages because it blasts away all the blockages and buildup in the pipe. It only uses high pressure water to blast away the blockages. It is simple and easy to use and it does not require more power than other methods of cleaning drains.” PA
