When Do You Need Drain Cleaning?
We usually take our drains for granted. We don’t think of them as an integral part of our household. That is until they are clogged. But before the situation worsens, here are a few tips to know if you need draining.
- If your drain is performing slower than usual, you could have something obstructing its flow. If you are adventurous, you can attempt to diagnose and remedy the problem on your own. But if you aren’t that handy, call a certified plumber for professional drain cleaning services.
- If you smell a weird odor coming from your plumbing fixtures, this could be caused by either sewer or gas coming from your pipes. Call a plumber to take care of the issue right away.
- If your sink, toilet, or shower has frequent clogs, you should call a plumber right away for drain cleaning. You are on the verge of having major clogging issues in your home.
- If you hear gurgling noises coming from your toilet or your drain, it is not possessed. Those noises often are caused by air in your drain. Contact a plumber right away.
How To Unclog Your Drain
If you have a clogged drain, it may not be a major issue. Most of the time you can use DIY methods to unclog it. But it is always good to know if the problem is more than you can handle, you can always call a plumber for clogged drain repair.
Boiling Water - One of the most common and inexpensive ways to unclog a drain is by pouring boiling water down the drain after removing as much of the standing water as possible from the sink. This works in a lot of cases as the boiling water cuts through simple blockages.
Baking Soda and Apple Cider Vinegar - Remove standing water first. Pour about a cup of baking soda into the drain, followed by a cup of white or apple cider vinegar. You may see the solution bubble, but when it stops, put the stopper in and wait about 15 minutes. Run hot water to see if the clog clears. If you need to repeat, do so.
Plunger - Sometimes a good old plunger does the trick. Place the plunger over the drain and plunge vigorously until you hear the suction sound go away.
All of these methods are great DIY methods, but if your problem persists it is time to call a professional plumber for clogged drain repair.
