What Are the Signs I Need a Clogged Drain Cleaning?
Discover How to Clear a Clogged Drain
If you experience chronic clogs or rely too much on chemical drain cleaners to clear your drains, you may require professional intervention to remove the obstruction. Chemical cleaners can slowly erode your home’s plumbing leading to leaks and water damage. However, not every clogged drain requires professional clearing. In fact, most homeowners have probably experienced a clogged drain in their homes before. If you feel comfortable, we recommend attempting this at-home method for clearing clogs in your home’s sink. The process includes the following steps:
- Fill Sink – Fill the sink partially with warm water. If you have a double sink plug the second drain with a wet rag. For some bathroom sinks, you’ll need to cover the overflow hole.
- Plunge – Use a cup plunger and begin plunging the drain. This will force the water through the obstruction and clear it out.
- Repeat – After you’ve worked the plunger, check to see if the water begins draining normally. If not, repeat the process a few more times.
What Are the Benefits of a Clogged Drain Cleaning Service?
Your home’s plumbing is designed to help safely remove water for cooking, cleaning, and bathing from your home. However, debris such as makeup, food, oil, and grease can become trapped in your plumbing, leading to various issues. It’s crucial you act quickly when you notice an obstruction, either by following our suggested at-home process or by scheduling an appointment with Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Des Moines. Blocks don’t typically clear on their own and only lead to more complications in the future. Residential clogged drain cleaning provides homeowners with the following benefits:
- Prevent Leaks
