A clogged sink drain is one of the most frustrating things that any home owner may have to deal with. If the kitchen sink is clogged, then it can affect how you prepare dinner, wash dishes, wash your hands, and cause a lot of other inconveniences. The good news is that most of the time a drain that has a clog is pretty simple to undo. Here are a few tips for getting your drain to work as good as new.
First ask yourself, what kind of material is causing the drain to be stopped up?
This is a big one. The way you should approach getting rid of the clog will greatly depend on what exactly is causing it in the first place. In the most ideal scenario, you would have a clog that can simply be undone by running hot water over it. However, this is not always the case. A lot of things such as food, hair, a lot of dirt, of some other kind of gunk.
The first thing you should do is try running some hot water over it. The majority of the time, this can do the trick. But unfortunately this does not work all the time. If this does not work then the next thing for you to try doing is getting some Drano and pouring it down the drain. This is a pretty serious chemical, so it should be the job done. You may have to repeat several times with the Drano to see if it works or not. If you try several times and you still do not have any success, then it may be time to consult a professional.
Do you have to hire a plumber?
You certainly do not have to hire a plumber, but in the worst case scenario this might be a good idea. There is a chance that the cause of the drain is stuck down deep inside the pipes. A plumber may have to come in and use some of their special tools to get the job done. It may cost a little bit more money, but it is well worth it to get your kitchen sink working like new again.
