Drain Cleaning in Lexington, KY

If you want to try the DIY route first, there are a couple of natural remedies you could try to remove a clog from your drain. We would recommend avoiding harsh chemicals for clog removal since they could destroy your pipes.

Natural drain cleaning methods include the following:

• Baking Soda and Vinegar - Pour ½ cup of baking soda down your drain, next pour ½ cup of vinegar down to follow, then plug the drain and let it sit for 1 hour. After an hour unplug the drain and pour a pot of boiling water down. If need be, continue to pour boiling water down the drain until it's clear.
• Baking Soda and Lemon Juice - Pour ½ cup baking soda down your drain, follow with ½ cup lemon juice, then plug your drain and let it sit for 1 hour. Pour a pot of boiling water down the drain.

• Baking Soda, Salt, and Cream of Tartar - Mix 1 cup of baking soda & 1 cup of salt & ¼ cup of cream of tartar, stir together and put in a clean/covered jar. Pour ¼ of the mixture down your drain and quickly pour 1 cup of boiling water. Wait for 10 seconds before rinsing down with cold water. Repeat if necessary.
• Baking Soda, Borax, and Vinegar - Pour ¼ cup of salt down the drain, follow it with ¼ cup of Borax, followed up by ½ cup of vinegar. Pour a boiling pot of water down the drain and let it sit for an hour. After an hour, rinse the ingredients with hot tap water.
