Tips to Spot & Prevent Drain Clogs

Some clogs respond well to home remedies. You could try pouring a mixture of baking soda and vinegar into the sink and letting it work on the clog for a few minutes. Try washing the sink out with hot water.

• If you have a sink with a garbage disposal, try pouring a mixture of boiling water, a cup of baking soda, and a cup of vinegar into the drain.
• If the clog does not clear out, you can plunge the sink with a cup plunger or try using a plumber's snake.
• For tough clogs, you could try commercial drain cleaners that contain enzymes that break down clogs. Do your research and avoid harsh chemical cleaners because they can damage your pipes.

Even if you successfully get water to flow through your drain normally again, we recommend calling in a plumber to inspect your pipes. If pipes clog frequently, it could be a sign of problems further down in the plumbing system. Sewer drain line clogs can be difficult to reach, and clogs due to tree branch intrusions can require excavation of tree roots and significant pipe repairs.

Another reason to inspect your pipes is that the clog could have caused hidden damage to pipes, resulting in pipe leaks, rust, mold, bacterial growth, and water damage. Clogs caused by water freezing in pipes, for instance, can result in pipes bursting. You might not notice the damage until you clear the clog and water can flow through the pipe again.
