Before seeking a professional plumbing service, you can experiment with these insightful homemade steps to unclog your drains:
- Turn your faucet on to fill the sink partly with water
- If your sink has two water basins, use a wet rag to plug one of the drains
- If dealing with a clogged bathroom sink, make sure to cover the overflow hole
- Use a cup plunger to start plunging the open drain
- Work the plunger up and down, pull it off the drain, and repeat as necessary
If you’re experiencing a clogged shower drain, your strategy will be different than removing a clog from a sink. The best, most effective approach to clearing a shower drain clog is by using a drain snake and supplementary drain clog remover solution that can break down hair and dissolve other built-up material known to commonly block shower drains.
