Dealing with a clogged drain is a very common challenge for homeowners. However, there's usually no need for alarm. Often, the fix is simple. Yet, the problem can sometimes be more stubborn and require professional assistance for a proper resolution. For instance, a blocked shower drain caused by hair or soap build-up can often be unclogged using a plumber's snake. For more intricate issues, consider these steps or reach out to us for drain cleaning services:
- Start by partially filling the sink with water, being careful not to overfill.
- If you're working 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.
- Place a sink plunger over the drain opening after these preparatory steps.
- Pump the plunger vigorously several times, then remove it to see if the water begins to drain. Repeat this process as needed.
