Understanding the Cause of a Blocked Drain
Before we dive into the steps to clear a blocked drain, it's essential to understand what causes blockages in the first place. Common causes of blocked drains include:
- Grease and fat buildup in kitchen drains
- Hair and soap scum accumulation in bathroom drains
- Tree roots invading sewer lines
- Debris and dirt accumulation in storm drains
Clearing a Blocked Drain: A Step-by-Step Guide
If you're experiencing a blocked drain, follow these steps to try and clear it:
- Turn off the water supply: Before attempting to clear the blockage, turn off the water supply to the affected drain to prevent further water from flowing into the pipe.
- Use a plunger: A plunger can be an effective tool in clearing blockages in sink drains, toilets, and showers. Make sure to create a good seal and plunge slowly and steadily.
- Use a drain snake: A drain snake (also known as an auger) can be used to remove blockages in longer pipes. Feed the snake into the drain and rotate it as you push it further into the pipe.
- Use baking soda and vinegar: For more minor blockages, try using a mixture of baking soda and vinegar to create a chemical reaction that can help break down the blockage.
