What are some easy home solutions for eliminating stopped drains in your bathroom? The quickest and simplest thing to use to undertake the problem is your regular plunger. The entire process of opening plugged drain with a plunger is simple and straightforward. Obviously you shouldn’t move the plunger up and down forcefully as this will be ineffective and could make the blockage worse. For the best results you should place the head of the plunger over the drainpipe, smoothly push down and bring up again quickly creating and even suction in the drainage pipe. So any material that is stuck into the bathroom, sink or tub drainage should come out with the upward pull on the drainage plunger. You may notice small overspill openings in your bath or sink and you should always remember to block these up with a wet paper towel or sponge to create maximum suction.
An alternative for plunger is a chemical drains clearance product, one that uses corrosive chemical to unclog the blockage of the drainage. This is usually done after you attempt to unplug your drain using your plunger. Leave the chemical for a few minutes so that it loosens the blockage, and then use hot water to rinse out the drainpipe, taking care not to splash yourself. Wear proper clothes while dealing with chemicals, remember the strong chemicals can fall on your clothes and spoil them so be careful with that. Putting on eye cover will be a good idea if you intend to plunge again and prevent the splattering of left over chemicals into your eye. To avoid unwarranted issues from creeping up, follow the manufacturers instructions ardently.
You can use a pipe wrench or pliers to unscrew the P-trap if you are unable to remove the clog with the plunger, this will give you access to the pipe. Keep a bucket and towel to deal with the mess that will follow. Chrome plated fittings can be protected from scratches by taping up the teeth of the pliers or wrench; that should also give you a firmer grip on the nuts of the trap. Once you have removed the P-trap you can inspect the trap thoroughly for any blockage. If, however you cannot find any solid materials the problem is probably harder to get to, between the trap and the soil stack deep in the drainage pipework.
To unclog the toilet, you should use a toilet auger to get at these deep seated blockages. If on the other hand you are attempting to unclog your tub or sink you may need to use a drain pipe snake. drain pipe snakes are designed to reach deep down into the far reaches of your narrow pipes. By twisting the adjustable handle to drill into the blockage, you then pull the obstruction up and out of your drain pipe. Once, you have taken out the obstruction, re-fix the P-trap and rinse the drain pipe with hot water to make sure that the entire clog has been removed. Ensure that all the joints and the P-trap are firmly sealed and that there is no leakage anywhere.
If all the above enlisted methods fail to unclog your bathroom drain pipe, then you should call a professional waste pipes contractor. You will need to call a professional plumber or drains service when the blockage is in the sewer or soil track or when it is due to tree roots, or when the pipe has collapsed due to some reason.
