Clogged drains are a common problem that you’ll face sooner or later. However, you may not need to call us yet to fix the issue. With some simple tools and techniques, you may be able to tackle the problem yourself.
Here are some DIY tips for clogged drains:
-
Get Out the Plumber. Firstly, use a plunger. It is an effective tool for clearing clogs in the toilet, sink, and shower. Make sure to use a plunger with a large suction cup and apply firm pressure to create a vacuum.
-
Create a Safe Drain Solution. Next, try a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Pour a cup of baking soda down the drain followed by a cup of vinegar. Allow it to sit for 30 minutes before flushing it with hot water. This will dissolve the clog and freshen up the drain.
-
Use a Drain Snake. Finally, invest in a drain snake. It is a long, flexible tool that can reach deep into the drain to remove stubborn clogs. These handy tools are available at hardware stores and online retailers.
If these home remedies don’t work, the clog is likely pretty severe or deeper in your drain pipe. In that case, trust us to get the job done.
