How to Clean a Backed Up Drain
Minor drain backups may be resolved using DIY methods:
Materials:
- Plunger
- Drain cleaner
- Baking soda and vinegar
Steps:
- Use a Plunger: Seal the overflow drain and fill the sink or tub with a few inches of water. Plunge vigorously to create suction and dislodge the blockage.
- Try Drain Cleaner: Follow the instructions on the product label and pour it down the drain. Let it sit for the recommended time before flushing it out.
- Natural Remedy: Pour a cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by a cup of white vinegar. Let it react for 30 minutes before flushing with hot water.
Note: If these methods fail or the backup is severe, contact a professional sewage cleanup service immediately.
