Solving Drain Problems In Sydney

How to Clear Blocked Drains Sydney

Here are a few home remedies for small drain blockages, but if the problem persists, consult a professional plumber Sydney:

• Boiling Water - This is a simple, non-toxic solution for cleaning blocked drains. Don’t get your hands on the sink seal. Cooking oil, soap, and food that clump together can be broken down by boiling water. Dishwasher detergent is an excellent choice for removing grease. If your house has PVC pipes, use hot water instead of boiling water.
• Plunger - You can unclog drains without the use of harsh chemicals by using a plunger. To begin, use tape or a moist cloth to secure the overflow drain. If you have a double sink, you’ll need to stop the second drain if you want enough pressure. An air-based force can be generated by pressing a plunger upwards and downwards over the drainage hole. Squeezing an empty juice carton over a sinkhole can produce a jet of air. Toilets can be cleared using a plunger or flange. Grease and mineral residues may need a different approach to plunging.
• Natural Drain Cleaner Products - White vinegar and baking soda are a fantastic non-toxic solution for cleaning grease and breaking down sediments in the home. After that, run hot water into the drains to clear them of any debris. Commercial environmentally friendly cleaning solutions, such as enzyme cleansers based on microorganisms, are another option. You will not be able to clear plastic products and tree roots blockages using this method.
• Caustic Cleaning Agents - Commercial caustic cleansers aren’t eco-friendly, but they can dissolve harder materials like hair and grease if applied properly. Keep your hands and face clean, and put on a mask before handling chemicals. Allow chemicals to sit for the prescribed amount of time before flushing the pipes with cold water to remove any remaining residue.
• DIY Drain Snake - Make your own variant of a plumber’s snake out of a coat hanger and use it to scrape away any small obstructions, such as hair or soap. Alternatively, you can purchase a drain auger, a smaller version of the plumber’s snake that you can use at home.
• Professional Drain Snake - A plumber’s snake, often known as a ‘EEL,’ can be used to clear obstructions from the drain hole. In order to remove obstructions, the instrument features a sharp-tipped coil attached to the end of a cable. Plumbers Sydney have the advantage of using it since it can reach farther than a hand-held drain auger.
