5 Ways To Unclog Your Sink

5 Recommended Ways to Unclog Your Sink

1. Use a bacterial drain cleaner. This will break down organic matter that builds up in your drains.
2. Pour hot water. Often clogs are caused by fat, oil, and grease that solidify in the pipes.
3. Use a plunger to try to remove a clog. Some plungers are specific to sinks.
4. Use a snake (auger) to remove a clog. Smaller augers can be tried before calling a plumber.
5. Call The Gentlemen Pros to clear your drain. We skillfully drain clean using a powerful auger while protecting your plumbing.

5 Ways We Caution Against Trying to Unclog a Sink

1. Chemical drain cleaners will wipe out all the good bacteria needed to break down organic waste left behind.
2. Soap can create clogs as it reacts with hard water, leaving soap scum residue.
3. An auger can damage drains if not used properly. (Call The Gentlemen Pros for safe, powerful drain cleaning.)
4. Garbage disposals, though convenient, can encourage people to drain items they shouldn’t.
5. Do not start taking your plumbing apart without an expert, even to dislodge a clog.
