Plumbers recommend the following methods for unclogging drains:
Using a plunger: This is the most common method for unclogging drains; it uses suction and pressure to push the clog through the pipe.
A drain snake is a long, flexible tool that is inserted into the pipe to break up and remove the clog.
Using an enzymatic cleaner: These cleaners are designed to break down organic matter that can cause clogs, such as hair and soap scum.
Using a high-pressure water jet: This method forces clogs and cleans the inside of the pipes by using high-pressure water.
Clogs can be avoided by regularly cleaning your drains, being mindful of what you put down your drains, and installing a drain strainer.
