Do You Have a Clogged Drain?
Correctly Using Drain Clog Remover & Plungers
If you have a residential clogged drain, it’s possible that you can clear the clog yourself using a drain clog remover and a plunger. Follow these techniques for using drain clog remover for best results:
- Buy the right drain clog remover. Chemical drain cleaners use acid or alkali to break down and dissolve clogged drains and react with water to create a heat reaction in your pipes.
- Drain cleaners function best on slow drains and don’t work as well on clogged drains with standing water.
- Don’t plunge a drain that has standing water and drain clog remover in it. If the drain clog remover splashes in your face or eyes, it can be dangerous.
- Don’t use drain clog removers on toilets, bathtubs, shower drains, or garbage disposals.
- Follow all safety precautions on the package, such as wearing goggles or gloves if needed.
- After pouring the drain clog remover down the drain, wait at least 30 minutes, and then flush the drain with hot water for about 10 minutes.
Sinks require different plunging techniques than some other drains. Follow these techniques for using a plunger in a sink for best results:
- Remove the pop-up drain stopper if there is one.
- Add a small amount of water into the sink if there isn’t standing water in it already. The water should cover the drain by about an inch.
- Center a cup plunger over the drain and create a strong seal.
- Pump the plunger up and down for 15 seconds.
- Remove the plunger to see if the water is draining. Inspect the drain to see if a clog is visible.
- If this doesn’t work, reposition the plunger and pump it up and down rapidly for 1-2 minutes.
- If that is unsuccessful, you can try using a drain snake or you can call our service technicians and we’ll quickly and completely clear your clogged drain.

Don’t Ignore a Clogged Drain
Ignoring a clogged drain can cause a buildup of debris and sludge in your plumbing which will eventually lead to rust, corrosion, and pipe breakage. This is especially dangerous if you have used drain clog remover unsuccessfully. If drain clog remover doesn’t work and is sitting in your pipes without being flushed down by running water, it can cause serious problems with your plumbing. As soon as you notice signs of a clogged drain, call our 24/7 answering service to schedule an appointment.
