Before calling a licensed plumber, you might want to try a few things to clear the clog yourself. If you're experiencing a clogged drain in your home, Mr. Rooter® Plumbing of Broward County provides a list of simple ways to fix it:
- Let your sink completely drain, and then pour boiled water down it. Boiled water helps clear clogs caused by hardened fats and oils because the heat helps break them up.
- You can also try clearing residential clogs with a plunger and drain snake. Sink plungers are small and easy to manage, so you can use one to pull a clog close to your drain opening to get better access to remove it. After plunging the drain opening, you can use a snake to pull out the obstruction from your pipe.
- If you've tried the above suggestions and still have a clogged drain, it's time to call in a team of professionals. Standard drain snakes aren’t effective when major obstructions are blocking your pipes, including tree roots and stubborn clogs. Our team can offer more extensive plumbing solutions to clear your clogged drain effectively.
