Home Remedies for Blocked Drains

There are a few home repairs that demand your immediate attention like blocked drains. Here are a few steps you can try to unclog your drains.

Blocked Drain

Eco Friendly Method

The easiest and simplest thing you can do is flush your drain with a kettle full of boiling water. It’s not a guarantee to unclog your drains but if you have a minor issue like a small blockage or a soap stuck down a pipe, a good boiling water flush can clear it out with minimal effort.

Take note that this trick works best on metal pipes. If you have PVC pipes, boiling water can soften or melt the joints in your pipes.

Blocked Sink &Amp; Plunger

A Little Bit of Exercise Method

Like what you see in most movies, that old fashion plunge may do the job. It will forcibly push whatever is stuck down your pipes to clear the blockage.

Take note that this will work best if there’s a minor clog in your drains and it’s also better if you are aware of your house’s drain system. e.g. if you have a double kitchen sink make sure to block off the second sink to ensure better results. You can combine this method with the boiling water trick for better result

Baking Soda

Mix It And Pour It Method

Guess what you can use some of the materials present in your kitchen! Like vinegar, baking soda, and salt or you can buy a ready-to-pour drain. Never use unclogging solution from your nearest shopping centre.

Take note this should be your option at all since you’re not aware of what may have been blocking your pipes. This alternative method may work but may also worsen the existing issue that you have, it may also damage you, your bench tops or even worse your plumber’s sensitive skin.

If you have tried everything else and still can’t get your drain to work properly, it’s best to get help from a drain specialist or trustworthy plumber in your vicinity. You can contact them easily using your phone.
