When Do I Need to Contact a Professional Plumber?

Nearly every homeowner will deal with clogged drains and require conclusive solutions to restore water flow, but households can try resolving them before reaching out to Mr. Rooter Plumbing of McHenry. If your drain is slow but still has some water movement, you can carefully pour boiling water down it after letting it drain mostly or entirely. This method is proven effective in flushing away clogs caused by hardened grease and oil. Another option is pulling out a clog with a plunger and drain snake if the boiling water method doesn't clear it. After pulling the clog close to the top of your sink by plunging it, you can remove the clogged materials using a drain snake. If you can’t clear a clog with these methods, you might have a clog that’s too deep to fix on your own. You should get in touch with our professional plumbing technicians if the water in your sink is still slow-draining or hasn’t stopped backing up.
