Clogged drains do not always require professional intervention. If you are experiencing a drain clog in a sink, you can try to fix it on your own before contacting our service professionals at Mr. Rooter Plumbing of South San Gabriel. Try the following steps:
- Run the faucet until the sink is partly filled with water
- For double sinks, plug one drain with a wet rag
- If there is an overflow hole, be sure to cover it
- Use a cup plunger to plunge the open drain
- Repeat the plunging process as needed
Clearing a Clogged Shower Drain
If you have a clogged shower drain, the process for clearing it is different from a sink drain. You will need to use a drain snake or a combination of a drain snake and drain cleaner to dissolve hair and other debris that may be blocking the pipes. If you are unable to clear the clog on your own with a drain clog remover, call Mr. Rooter Plumbing of South San Gabriel for assistance.
