A clogged drain can be a big deal, and the longer you wait to fix it, the worse the problem will get. If you try using household baking soda and vinegar to break down a drain clog and it doesn’t work, it may be time to call in a professional.

Professionals use a variety of tools and techniques to address the source of your clogged pipes and return water flow, including snaking with flexible cable, commercial drain cleaning or using a flex-shaft machine that scrapes the walls of pipes to fully clean them out of hair, soap scum, food particles and other debris. These methods also help to prevent future clogs by removing the build-up that causes them in the first place.

Why DIY Drain Cleaning Could Make Things Worse

Store-bought chemical cleaners aren’t just hard on your pipes; they’re dangerous to your health, too. They often contain sulfuric acid, which can cause severe chemical and thermal burns if it comes into contact with your skin.

Instead, try pouring a kettle of boiling water slowly down your clogged drain. This works because hot water is pressurized and can help to dislodge clogs by forcing them through the pipes. If this doesn’t work, or you suspect the clog is further down the pipe and is caused by years of grease build-up, it’s time to call in a plumber.
