Clogged Drain Repair and Drain Cleaning

Clogged Drain Cleaning & Repair for the Kitchen Sink & Beyond

Common causes of clogged drains and clogged toilets include the following: hair, food particles, oil, dirt, soap and mineral build up. Food substances such as coffee grounds, hot wax or grease, paper products and large food particles can cause drains to become clogged and should not be put down a drain.

To reduce the chances of getting a clogged drain, you should make sure all tub and shower drains have strainers. If they do not already have strainers, you can purchase them at a local hardware store or home improvement store. Strainers trap particles that could potentially cause a drain to clog.

If, however, your drain does become clogged, there are several things you can try before you call a plumber: 

• Remove the strain or drain stopper and clean away any clinging build up.
• Use a plunger to try to loosen the blockage.
• You may also try a cleaning solution such as baking soda, vinegar and boiling hot water.
