Clearing your drains is an essential task that homeowners should not overlook. Blocked drains can cause significant problems, such as slow draining water, bad odors, and even damage to your plumbing system. If left unchecked, blocked drains can lead to more extensive problems, such as leaks and burst pipes, which can be costly to repair.
There are several reasons why drains can become blocked, including the buildup of grease, hair, and other debris. However, the most common culprit is the accumulation of non-degradable items, such as wipes, sanitary products, and food waste, which can clog your drains and lead to blockages.
How to Clear Your Drains
Clearing your drains can be a straightforward process that you can do yourself, or you can hire a professional to do it for you. Here are some tips on how to clear your drains:
Use a plunger – A plunger can be an effective tool for clearing minor blockages in your drains. To use a plunger, place it over the drain and pump it up and down vigorously, creating a suction that will dislodge the blockage.
Use a drain snake – A drain snake is a long, flexible tool that you can insert into your drain to remove blockages. You can buy a drain snake from most hardware stores, or you can hire a professional to use one for you.
Use a chemical drain cleaner – Chemical drain cleaners can be an effective solution for clearing blockages, but they should be used with caution. Chemical drain cleaners can be harmful to your plumbing system, and they can cause damage if not used correctly.
When to Call a Professional
If you have tried to clear your drains using the methods above, but the blockage persists, it’s time to call a professional. A professional plumber can use specialized tools to clear your drains quickly and effectively, without causing damage to your plumbing system.
