How Can a Drain Be Repaired?
Encountering a clogged drain is a frequent issue for many commercial establishments, but there's no need for concern—it's an obstacle that can often be swiftly managed. Yet, there are instances where the complication requires more intricate expertise to resolve proficiently. For example, suppose a restroom or kitchen drain in your facility is obstructed due to accumulated debris or foreign objects. In that case, a professional-grade plumber's snake may be the ideal solution to restore flow. For more complicated situations, these steps can guide you, or you can contact us for thorough drain cleaning services tailored to businesses:
- Begin by cautiously adding water to the sink or basin, not exceeding its capacity.
- If dealing with a dual-drain sink common in commercial kitchens, plug one with a wet cloth to increase the clearing force.
- Ensure the overflow hole is covered if the blockage is in a bathroom or utility sink.
- After these preparatory steps, place a commercial-grade plunger over the problematic drain.
- Firmly pump the plunger several times, then remove it to check if the obstruction has cleared. Repeat this process if needed.
