  1. HOW TO DEAL WITH BLOCKED DRAINS IN RICHMOND

  2. Dealing with a blocked drain is a real headache for homeowners in Richmond. A common blocked drain issue can quickly turn messy if not addressed promptly. Moreover, not only do block drains grow into more stubborn clogs over time, but they can also be a pain due to their messy and smelly nature. It is always better to try fixing the situation before you call for professional help. It might turn out the issue is easy to resolve and can save you from hefty plumbing and drainage expenses. Here is a list of steps you need to follow to deal with blocked drains in Richmond.

  3. VINEGAR AND BAKING SODA Try harnessing the power of the chemical reaction to clean up your blocked drains in Richmond. Pour vinegar and baking soda in equal quantities to make the solution work. After running the solution, cover the drain opening with rubber covers or a wet cloth, followed by hot water over the covering. Subsequently, you will hear gurgling noises, which means the mixture is working its way through the blockage. Let the system rest for half an hour before flushing the drain with hot water. The mixture will soften the clog, and the water will push it out of the drain pipe. Who would have thought in school that this 5th-grade science trick would one day be applied to clear blocked drains in richmond?

  4. USE PLUNGERS However, using a plunger might take some time, effort and perseverance. Therefore, they are not ideal for sink, basin, and shower drains but not for unclogging toilet bowls. You should try adding petroleum jelly to the suction pad before submerging it in water to get a better seal if you struggle to get suction on your plunger. Force the plunger down for 3 to 5 minutes, never breaking the seal throughout the duration. Run some water down the drain to check if the blockage remains; if so, then repeat the process. If vinegar and baking soda fail, reach for a plunger. They are helpful in forcing all types of clogs and blockages downwards and, hence, out of the drain. Different kinds of plungers work for various drain types. Use a cup plunger for flat surfaces, like sinks and shower drains. For curved surfaces like toilet bowls, opt for a flange plunger. Add petroleum jelly to the suction pad for a better seal. Plunge for 3-5 minutes without breaking the seal, then check if the blockage is gone. Repeat if necessary.

  5. DRAIN CLEANERS Drain cleaners are precisely designed for more stubborn clogs. When these cleaners are poured into a blocked drain, they dissolve the grease and buildup, causing the blockage. However, chemical drain cleaners can often be harmful to your pipes. Therefore, biological cleaners are better alternatives because they are biodegradable and environmentally friendly. They are incredibly effective if you try eliminating blocking materials such as hair, soap suds and light-blocking material; however, biological cleaners are not as fast. Only use chemical cleaners for slow-draining pipes, and follow the instructions carefully. Do not use a plunger after using the cleaner, as you can get splashed by the cleaner. Similarly, wash the drain off the solution after the prescribed amount of time (mentioned on the cleaner), as leaving them to sit for long hours will damage the pipes.

  6. DRAIN SNAKES When all else fails, a drain snake might save the day. Drain snakes are reserved for the toughest clogs that standard methods can't handle. It has a hand crank that operates the cable to reach far into the pipes, and the gadget will dislodge or break up snagged lightweight materials, product buildup and debris and scrape clean the pipe walls. Feeding the snake into the drain until you hit the clogged area would be best. Then, crank the snake until you feel the tension in the cable has dropped—this indicates that the pipe end has pushed through the obstruction. To test if the drain remains clogged, run water through it. It is specifically reserved for difficult clogs that everyday methods can not tackle. Takeaway
