What Are The Steps To Take To Remove A Clogged Drain?

There are few other annoying home repairs that demand your immediate attention like clogged drains. Regardless of what you're doing, you must stop and attend to the current mini crisis that is a clogged drain.

Preventing drain clogs involves very little work. Instead of spending excessive time and effort whenever the pipes get backed up, you just exert a fraction of that effort on a monthly (or, in more extreme situations, bi-monthly) basis. For many people, that effort is nothing more than pouring a gallon of hot/boiling water down your drain. This helps loosen any hair or gunk clogging the main pathway and push down. After you do this, be sure to run regular warm water for about five minutes just to continue pushing everything as far down and out as you can get it.

If you find that doesn't work a hair catcher will come in handy. For about $5-10 you get a little device that sits in your drain and catches hair and gunk. Gross, yes, but you just empty it after use of your sink or shower. This mesh screen will save you money and prevent costly drain clogs.

If the problem continues to persist, that's when our experts come in and identify the cause and quickly eliminate the problem. Leaving you plumbing crisis free.
