Clearing Your Drain With A Powerful Plumber's Snake

Generally, your plumbing specialist will remove obstructions using a professional-grade auger, more commonly referred to as a plumber's snake. Your plumber will weave the thin, flexible metal cable down the drain with a selected nozzle attached until it reaches the obstruction. At that point, the plumber will either remove the clog by boring the snake through the drainpipe or break it down, allowing water to free flow down the line. The plumber's snake is more sturdy than those for rent at your neighborhood home center, so there is never a worry about them becoming stuck in the pipe. The experts at Murrieta Plumbing are equipped with all the necessary skills to open your blocked drain without incident. Your Temecula drain cleaning professional is never more than a phone call away.

Clogged Bathroom Drains Are Not Uncommon

By far, the most common cause of backed-up bathroom sinks is hair. It becomes entangled in the stopper of your sink and serves as a catch-all for shaving cream, soap, phlegm, toothpaste, and skin cells. It eventually forms a black slime, that's a living bacteria, which slows the flow of water in your drain. If the black material does not get removed, it will eventually clog your drain completely. The homeowner can unclog a clogged bathroom sink drain. While there are several ways to unclog a drain, the best method is to remove the stopper and remove the blockage. Typically, a hairball along with the black slime gets wrapped around the stopper near the top of the drain for easy access.

You can use a metal coat hanger by bending a hook at the end. Use the hanger for fishing out anything existing hair that's clogging your drain. Ensure that the stopper is completely free of black slime and that the drainpipe is also clean. You can clean it with a cleaning solution or a mixture of vinegar and baking soda and an old toothbrush. Complete the process by rinsing the drain with a kettle of hot water.
