Clearing a Clogged Drain Yourself
You might be able to clear a clogged drain yourself using a store-bought drain clog remover or plunger. If you have a clogged shower drain, you’ll need to call a service professional to use a drain snake or industrial drain clog remover. Here is the best plunging method to use on a clogged drain in a sink:
- Fill the sink halfway full of water
- If it is a double sink, cover one of the drains with a wet towel or rag
- If it is a clogged bathroom sink, cover the overflow hole
- Use a cup plunger centered over the drain
- Plunge up and down a few times to create a seal, then remove the plunger, re-center it, and plunge consistently for 2-3 minutes.
If using store-bought drain clog remover and a plunger doesn’t help, call our 24/7 live answering service to schedule an appointment.
Fixing a Clogged Drain Quickly
If you notice signs of a clogged drain, you should call a service professional as quickly as possible. If you ignore a clogged drain for too long or keep trying unsuccessfully to clear it with a drain clog remover, the buildup in the pipes can cause corrosion and breakage. At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Lubbock, we offer our customers an Advantage Plan that helps you keep up with plumbing maintenance and reduces your risk of a clogged drain or sewer system backup.
