How To Fix a Clogged Drain Yourself

For the next time your drain backs up, here’s a primer on two clogged-drain clearing methods to try before calling us:

  • The plunging method: Plungers work by forcing water down the drain to dislodge the clog. Designed for clogs 3 feet deep or less, plungers work best for toilet clogs but may also help bathtub, sink, or shower clogs.
  • The snaking method: A plumbing snake is a long, flexible metal tube that catches clogs 15 to 25 feet deep and pulls them out. When your sink or tub is draining slowly, a snake is ideal for pulling up hair, soap scum, and other soft debris trapped deep down. Pro tips: Snakes can’t remove hard objects like rings; for toilets, use a toilet snake to avoid scratching the porcelain; for sinks, first remove and clean the P-trap to see if the clog can be cleared that way.

To snake

  1. Thread the head of your snake into the drainpipe, staying as close as possible to the drain to avoid any slack.
  2. Gently lower the snake into the drain using the handheld or power-drilled crank.
  3. As you snake, if you feel any resistance, you are likely hitting a clog. (If you hear scraping against the drainpipe, reposition the snake to avoid damaging the drain.)
  4. If the snake stops, gently move the snake side to side and up and down to dislodge any debris.
  5. Gently pull the snake out, hopefully removing the clog with it.
  6. Reattach the P-trap before checking the drain.
  7. If the clog persists, repeat the snaking process.

    I am very pleased with the work you did to get my water pressure up. Finding the problem to my daughters house was a big help. You spent a lot of time finding the problem to her house but turned it off to spare the pump. I would recommend you anytime.

    5 stars! Thank you Paul for replacing my kitchen drain pipe, installing a new faucet and an expansion tank on my water heater. Everything is working great. Thank so much.

    Corban was great and very accommodating. After my hot water tank blew, he helped me figure out my warranty when it was deemed I needed a replacement. He dealt with returning the unit for exchange after having to come back a second say, installed the unit, and updated the plumbing. He was very knowledgeable and made the whole process much more bearable.
