How to Fix a Clogged Drain

A clogged sewer drain can cause slow drains, backups, and foul odors, but clearing it properly requires the right tools and expertise. While there are a few DIY methods, professional drain cleaning is the safest and most effective option.

DIY Methods (Temporary Fixes)

⚠️ Use these with caution – they may not fully clear the clog!

• Plunging – A heavy-duty plunger can help push minor blockages.

• Drain Snake (Auger) – A manual or motorized snake can break apart soft clogs.

• Hot Water & Dish Soap – Helps dissolve debris buildup in kitchen lines.

• Baking Soda & Vinegar – Creates a bubbling reaction that may loosen debris.

✅ Best Solution: Professional Drain Cleaning

For serious clogs, tree roots, or sewer backups, call a professional who can use advanced methods like:

• Hydro Jetting – High-pressure water blasts away grease, roots, and debris.

• Sewer Camera Inspection – Identifies blockages deep in the system.

• Professional Augers & Drain Machines – Heavy-duty equipment for stubborn clogs.
