Learn How to Clear a Clogged Drain on Your Own
Encountering a clogged drain is an all-too-common predicament faced by homeowners. Yet, there's no need to worry. Many times, the solution is straightforward. However, the problem may occasionally prove more persistent, necessitating expert intervention for effective resolution. For example, a clogged shower drain caused by accumulated hair or soap could be effectively cleared with a plumber's snake. For more complex issues, you can follow these procedures or contact us for advanced drain cleaning services:
- Begin by partially filling the sink with water and be careful not to overfill.
- If you're dealing with a double kitchen sink, plug one side with a damp cloth to increase pressure.
- Cover the overflow hole if the blockage is in a bathroom sink.
- Once these preparatory steps are complete, place a sink plunger over the drain opening.
- Pump the plunger vigorously several times, then remove it to check if the water starts draining. Repeat this action as needed.
