Here’s what to try when you’ve got a clogged drain:
Start simple: A plunger works great for toilets and can help with sinks too. Make sure there’s enough water to cover the plunger cup for a good seal.
For hair clogs: A drain weasel or zip-it tool can pull out hair from bathroom drains. You can even use a straightened wire hanger in a pinch.
For kitchen sinks: Try a manual drain snake or auger for food buildup.
What to avoid: Skip the chemical drain cleaners – they can damage your pipes and rarely solve the real problem.
When to call a pro: If the plunger and snake don’t work, or if multiple drains are backing up, it’s time to call in professional equipment. We have commercial-grade machines that can clear tough clogs safely. Would you like help scheduling service?
