In some cases, you may be able to clear a clogged drain yourself using a plunger and a store-bought drain cleaner. However, if you have a clogged shower drain or a clogged bathroom drain, a service professional can clear it quickly using a plumbing snake and industrial drain cleaner. Here is the most effective, successful process for clearing a clogged drain with a plunger:
- Use a cup plunger
- If you’re plunging a double sink, use a wet towel or washcloth to plug up one of the drains
- If you’re plunging a bathroom sink, cover the sink overflow hole
- Place the plunger over the center of the sink’s drain
- Move the plunger up and down rapidly a few times to create a seal
- Remove the plunger and reposition it over the center of the drain
- Continue plunging for 2-3 minutes, or until the water begins to drain
If you try this method and drain cleaner with no luck, call our 24/7 answering service to schedule an appointment for residential clogged drain cleaning or to request a job estimate.
