When your home has a plumbing pipe problem, you will most like need to engage a plumber to take a look at the issue. Ever wonder what are tools they may use? Read on to find out.

Sump pump

Sump pump is a small sized pump that is set up in the crawlspace or basement and prevents flooding. It helps pump out water from a pit and can keep areas from being flooded. You can typically find it in sump pits where there’s a sump pump connection that the water flows out to the soil or via drains. Plumbers generally carry around portable sump pumps to resolve flooding issues.

Tongue-and-groove pliers

These have replaced the pipe wrench for repair jobs on iron and steel pipes, and come with long handles and angled jaws as well as various adjustment postures. You can quickly and easily take apart many of the plumbing fixtures with these. It is similar to pipe wrenches, it best works in pairs. One can be used for tightening or loosening fixtures or nuts while another can be used for stabilizing pipes. For most types of plumbing jobs, you will find regular 10-inch pliers to be the best. However, the size of the pliers to be used would depend on the plumbing pipe fittings.

Plumber’s Snake

Better known as the Plumbing snake, it is another of the must-have tools in the arsenal of any reliable plumber. This is a long steel coil that is flexible in form and can be used to dislodge stoppages in pipes that are curved in shape. With a plumbing snake, toilet repairs become much easier – especially in case of a clogged sink or drain pipes.

Basin wrench

It is sometimes also referred to as a “sink wrench”, and is very useful for changing old faucets in the laundry sink, bathroom, or kitchen. The wrench is self-tightening in form and has been designed to tighten or loosen fittings in areas that are tough to access otherwise. This plumbing tool always comes in handy for the plumber.
