A clogged drain or sink can be such a nuisance and the problem seems to occur at the most inconvenient time; like when you are about to leave for work. Most people tend to respond by grabbing a plunger and try to work on it with an aim of restoring the drainage. Usually, this frenzy attempt ends after several days of restlessness and defeat sets in to either buy the terrible unclogging chemicals, or consider hiring a plumber for the job.
However, due to environmental issues, chemical usage is not a good choice and having a professional Springdale plumber handle the job will be quite an expense. Having to spend a huge amount of cash on a professional to unclog a simple drain may not be the best decision, unless you have a lot of money of course.
However, before you can proceed to such acts, it’s worth trying a few of the following tips to help you unclog your drain.
Add about a half cup of salt into the drain and then pour in boiling water directly to dissolve it. Let the salt work its magic for a few minutes and then flush a few times with hot water until the drain is clear.
If you have baking soda, you can pour a significant amount over the drain. Add a cup of vinegar and again leave it for a few minutes before you flush it with a steady flow of hot water. This will unclog your drain.
Another option for a clogged drain is liquid dish soap, especially Dawn (known for cutting grease and grime). Add a small portion of the soap in the drain, let it settle and work its magic for several minutes. Ideally, flush with boiling tap water to clear the clog.
If the drain screen can be removed, you can try and place a hose pipe down the drain and turn it on. This is often enough pressure to remove the clog in ten drain.
