How To Declog a Drain

A lot of people don’t know how to unclog a drain properly.

You may find it a daunting task if you aren’t taking the right steps to unclog a drain. Here are some of the most recommended ways to unclog a drain by seasoned plumbers and DIY hobbyists. Read the things discussed below to easily unclog a drain in a few easy steps.

For clogged drains that are just a bit slow in flushing water down: There is a solution where you only need to use household materials. Take out the drain trap first. Wait for all water to flush down the drain.

Otherwise: Take out the excess water. Then: Pour half a cup of baking soda down the drain. Pour half a cup of vinegar next. Loosely place your drain trap to prevent fumes and foam from spitting out of the drain, because these fumes and foam can hurt or irritate your skin and eyes. These foam and fumes are produced by the baking soda reacting to the vinegar. Leave it for two to three hours.

During this period: Do not run water down the drain. In case grease is clogging your drain pipes: There is another homemade solution you can use. Prepare a kettle of boiling water and half a cup of salt. Pour the salt down the clogged drain. Another half cup baking soda should follow right after the salt. Pour the boiling water in the drain.

Leave it for more than eight hours. After you’ve successfully unclogged your drains: You may want to keep it clog-free and even odorless. There is another homemade solution perfect for these objectives.

Prepare a cup of table salt, a fourth cup cream of tartar and a cup of baking soda. Pour everything in a clean and dry container with a lid. Stir the solution for about five to ten minutes. Prepare a cup of boiling water while you’re stirring the solution. Pour half a cup of the solution down the drain. Immediately pour one cup of boiling water next.

Wait for around ten seconds, then flush cold water down the drain. Doing this on a weekly basis will prevent your drains from clogging up or smelling bad. These are the best homemade solutions for unclogging drains and keeping them odorless as advised by veteran plumbers and DIY experts. Keep in mind that regularly cleaning your drain trap from various things which it catches will help prevent large, insoluble materials from seeping past your drain traps, clogging the drain in the process. Also make it a point to replace your drain traps as time passes by, because these drain traps may break down often, since it is exposed to running water most of the time.
