Clogged drains can cause a lot of hair-pulling, fist-clenching, and teeth-grinding! But fear not – there are numerous techniques you can use to clean a drain! Some of these simply require normal household items, while others may need specific tools, such as a plunger. You can use these techniques at your own discretion, but for best results, we recommend contacting a plumber ( Such as A&V DRAIN CORP!)
VINEGAR & BAKING SODA:
A LONGSTANDING & RELIABLE SOLUTION
If you have a slow sink or tub drain, you can try the vinegar and baking soda method to help clear it up. This solution is safe and cheap, and can clear both clogs and strong odors. To make the solution, pour half a cup of baking soda into a drain. Follow this with half a cup of vinegar and then rinse well with boiling water. The vinegar and baking soda technique is an age-old method that can yield excellent results.
PLUMBING TOOLS
A mechanical snake is one of the most effective drain cleaning tools around. It can be pushed down into the drainage system to clear any clogs that have been lodged into the pipe. One method that a lot of people employ when using a mechanical snake is to push the clog down and then use a garden hose on full blast to get rid of any excess mess.
HOT WATER: THE UNDERRATED REMEDY
Many people underestimate the importance of hot water when it comes to drainage problems. Hot water can prevent grease from sticking to the edge of the piping system, which can cause the drastic build-ups that can result in blockages. The simple process of filling a sink with hot water and then letting it drain can be a very effective preventative measure.
Finding out how to clean your drains is not difficult, and in most cases all you will need is a mixture of solutions that can be found in the kitchen or some cheap plumbing equipment. Drain cleaning services are also available if you prefer to avoid the hassle and make sure that everything is sorted out efficiently, or if you have tried all of the other methods without a successful outcome. If a serious drainage issue is suspected, it is always best to contact a professional plumber who will be able to effectively diagnose the problem.
