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.

    This is my 2nd experience with Prime Plumbing. The receptionist that took my call was pleasant. The plumbers that were dispatched were respectful of my home and were able to resolve all my issues, including one that I forget to mention when I called. They stayed pleasant and professional throughout. I highly recommend using this business.

    We recently moved to an older home and needed to modernize our shut off valves for the main line into the home and for a hose bib. Also, added a pressure-reducing valve. Our plumbers, Ernie & Hailey were patient, thorough and efficient with the difficulties and quirks of an older home. They took their time to do the work correctly & to test everything afterwards. We are very grateful for their excellent work. Future water problems have been avoided in these areas. Highly recommend.

    To have a new fridge installed I had to have the original valve and line replaced with a quarter turn valve. Paul from Prime Plumbing came and gave me an estimate on what the service would cost and about how long it would take to exchange and replace the existing fixture we had from the original builders. Paul was quick and efficient and we were able to hook up to our fridge with no issues or leaks. The price was also reasonable. We will definitely do business with Prime again in the future!
