How to Clear a Clogged Drain at Home
Many simple clogged drains can be cleared by using store-bought supplies and tools. Here are some steps you can take to clear a clogged drain at home:
1. Turn on the sink faucet on the affected sink until it is partly filled with water. If you have a double sink, use a wet towel or rag to plug the other drain. If you have a clogged bathroom sink, cover up the overflow hole.2. Use a cup plunger to plunge the open drain. Create suction by pushing the plunger up and down over the drain several times.
3. Once you’ve created suction, work the plunger up and down for a few minutes. If the drain doesn’t clear, remove the plunger, reposition it, and try again.
If those steps don’t work, you need intervention from a professional plumbing service. If you only have one clogged drain, turn off the water shutoff valve for that fixture before calling a plumber. If you have a significant water leak, you should locate and turn off the main shutoff valve for your water supply.
Preventing Clogged Drains
Over the years, pipes become lined with buildups like rust, hair, grease, soap scum, and oils. This corrosion from buildups damages the pipes, leading to clogs and other plumbing issues. The best way to prevent clogged drains is to hire our plumbing professionals for routine maintenance services. Preventative pipe cleaning includes using high-pressure water to blast away debris and buildup in your pipes. We use an enzymatic drain cleaner to remove the years of buildup and debris lining the pipes.
