Essential Emergency Plumbing Advice
First of all, never trust liquid plumbing chemicals. They usually do more harm than good, leading to erosion and a host of other problems for your pipes and drain systems. It might even be dangerous for you as well; certain chemicals can lead to eruptions within the pipes when they mix poorly.
Keep a plunger on hand near all of your home’s major drains. Many sudden plumbing incidents can be dealt with by a simple plunger alone. They’re incredibly affordable and far more versatile at dealing with clogs than you might imagine!
Plunging is always safe, and it will usually lead to some form of improvement of the problem. If only one of the drains is clogged, you’ll rarely have to do any more beyond working the plunger for a minute or so. You can expedite the process by boiling water and pouring it down the drain first. A mixture of vinegar and baking soda has also proven effective. Just make sure you give either solution a bit of time to work before plunging, especially the hot water!
If the problem doesn’t seem to dissipate even after plunging, the problem may not be localized. A drain snake tool may be necessary in this case. With one of these at your disposal, you can push further down through the drain and clear up whatever might be causing the problem.
A bit of resourcefulness and preparedness will usually be enough to help you avoid longstanding problems or expensive repairs. Plungers and drain snakes are affordable tools that are simple to use, and 9 times out of 10 you’ll seldom need anything else. If those tools still don’t seem to do the trick however, you may need to relent and take the help of an emergency plumber.
