Blocked drains are a challenge in households around the world. But there’s no need to panic because in many situations you can try and fix those drains yourself before having to resort to the services of professional drain blockers. Kitchen drains are notorious for getting clogged with most households experiencing a kitchen drain block once every few months. But you can unblock a kitchen drain if you don’t mind getting dirty, and a bit smelly. Whether it’s hair in the bathtub or food in the kitchen sink, nobody likes dealing with clogged drains.
But, removing a clog doesn’t have to be difficult. Most of the time you can remove a clog with nothing more than a plunger. Some clogs can be stubborn and may require the use of a drain snake. In rare cases, you may have to remove the drain mechanism entirely and clean the pipes. Majority of the times, the primary cause of why drains are blocked is due to small remains of vegetable waste. Or sometimes, it can be due to FOG (fat, oil and grease) flowing down the sink via the strainer. Mainly when vegetable waste flows down the sink along with the oil and grease, it gets stuck on the wall of the pipelines. When this continues for a while resulting in many layers of waste being deposited, drains are blocked. The foul smell is often one of the biggest by-products of this blockage which further ruins the entire atmosphere around the sink.
Thankfully, there is one DIY (DO-IT-YOURSELF) tip and home tricks that you can use to clean your sink.
1. Vinegar & Baking Soda Solution – This is one of the simplest and the most effective to clear blocked drains. First, you need to take a bowl of vinegar and add to it, two to three tablespoons of baking soda. After that add two glasses of water to the solution and stir it patiently. Then you need to clean the sink wall and pour the solution in the sink. The concentrated solution of water, vinegar and baking soda should remove the dirt from the pipelines. You can also add few drops of lemon to avoid the foul smell during the entire drain cleaning process.
If you have done your job to the ultimate efficiency but your drains are blocked still, then you need to hire a professional drain unblocking services.
