Easy Drain Cleaning Methods for Clogged Drains

Drain piping is used for bathtubs, sinks, toilets, and floor drain, and there are countless ways that each type of drain can clog. Knowing how to deal with a clogged drain is essential for homeowners. 

Dealing with a clogged drain can be scary for people that don’t know what they're doing. That’s why every homeowner should have a plan to deal with plumbing complications like clogged drains. Here is a quick guide from local plumbers to help them put together an action plan. 

Professional-Approved DIY Drain Cleaning Ideasmethods

When it comes to drain cleaning, homeowners can use plenty of methods to prevent clogged drains or get a clogged drain moving again. 

Preventing clogged drains is a great place to start. To prevent clogged drains, try things like:

  • Discarding grease in the trash can instead of the sink
  • Install hair catchers in sinks and tubs 
  • Putting trash cans near the toilet for discarding non-flushable items
  • Periodically spooning baking soda down the drain and adding an equivalent amount of vinegar
  • Pouring hot (not boiling) water down the sink with some dish detergent
  • Avoiding chemical drain cleaners

When is a Drain Snake the Best Option? 

Drain snakes are indispensable tools for clearing drain clogs. For DIY drain cleaning, homeowners can try small, manual drain snakes. These can come in the form of a flexible piece of plastic with barbs for capturing gunk, or they can be flexible corkscrews that can be wound into tough clogs. Drain snakes excel at removing wads of hair from bathroom tubs and sinks. 

When drain clogs are too big for DIY fixes, the first piece of equipment a professional will turn to will be a bigger version of a drain snake, the drain auger. Drain augers work the same as drain snakes, but they are intended to tackle more significant problems in larger drains like sewer lines. Drain augers are great for removing tree root obstructions from sewer pipes. 

 

What is Hydrojetting, and When is it the Best Option? 

Hydro jetting is a tool that can both remove tough clogs and prevent new ones from forming. Hydro jetting uses the power of pressurized water to break up clogs as well as wash down the inside walls of sewer piping. Many clogs are the result of a nasty buildup on the inside of sewer lines that are made up of:

  • Hair
  • Grease
  • Soap scum
  • Debris
  • Corroded piping

This buildup will slowly grow until the pipe has no flow left and drains start to back up. Hydro jetting removes this buildup when drains are clogged, and it can also be used as a preventative measure to remove potential clogging hazards.
