Drain Cleaning in Lexington, KY

Why Is HydroScrub^® Better Than Traditional Unclogging Methods?

The conventional cable method still can work, but the HydroScrub^® is going to have lasting results. Snakes can push through clogs and open small holes, but it’s only a matter of time before those small opened waterways get clogged again. The HydroScrub^® can push the whole clog out and make sure it isn’t a future problem.

How Do I Unclog a Drain Naturally?

If you want to try the DIY route first, there are a couple of natural remedies you could try to remove a clog from your drain. We would recommend avoiding harsh chemicals for clog removal since they could destroy your pipes.

Natural drain cleaning methods include the following:

• Baking Soda and Vinegar - Pour ½ cup of baking soda down your drain, next pour ½ cup of vinegar down to follow, then plug the drain and let it sit for 1 hour. After an hour unplug the drain and pour a pot of boiling water down. If need be, continue to pour boiling water down the drain until it's clear.
• Baking Soda and Lemon Juice - Pour ½ cup baking soda down your drain, follow with ½ cup lemon juice, then plug your drain and let it sit for 1 hour. Pour a pot of boiling water down the drain.
• Baking Soda and Salt - Mix ½ cup of baking soda with ½ cup of salt, pour your mixture down the drain, then let it sit from 30 minutes (minimum) to 8 hours (maximum). Pour a pot of boiling water down the drain.
• Baking Soda, Salt, and Cream of Tartar - Mix 1 cup of baking soda & 1 cup of salt & ¼ cup of cream of tartar, stir together and put in a clean/covered jar. Pour ¼ of the mixture down your drain and quickly pour 1 cup of boiling water. Wait for 10 seconds before rinsing down with cold water. Repeat if necessary.
• Baking Soda, Borax, and Vinegar - Pour ¼ cup of salt down the drain, follow it with ¼ cup of Borax, followed up by ½ cup of vinegar. Pour a boiling pot of water down the drain and let it sit for an hour. After an hour, rinse the ingredients with hot tap water.

No matter what, you're going to need baking soda on your side to remove stubborn clogs. However, no method is perfect. For clogs that won’t quit, call our Lexington drain cleaning professionals to help! You can also reach out online.
