How do I clean a clogged drain?

However, if you’re NOT ready to call a plumber, Katy Plumbing Service is happy to offer free suggestions to clean your drains yourself.

But first, before you can do drain cleaning, you have to know what causes clogged drains in the first place.

What causes slow and clogged drains?

Clogged drains are a universal Houston residents’ problem. Indeed, most Houston homeowners and renters have had the experience of washing your hands or the dishes, and the water remaining in the sink way, way too long. So what causes this frustrating build-up of dirty water?

In short, there are several possible reasons your drains clog. One plumber put it liks this: “collapsed pipes, tree roots, sludge, gas intake, buidl up, you name, I’ve seen it.” Let’s break that plumbing statement down a bit.

Houston pipes can take a huge beating from weather, from the environment, and from you. The nasty stuff that goes through the pipes can build up to such an extent that a clog forms. Also, an outside force may block the pipe from functioning right. For example, a tree root may grow through the pipe, stopping it up. Or the pipe may collapse because of a shift in the ground. Another possibility – for extremely old pipes – is simple rust and erosion.

Unfortunately, most causes of pipe clogs cannot be seen. Why is that? Because you can’t look at your pipes. Indeed, most of your piping is built inside the walls of your house, under the floor, under a concrete slab, or under a yard. How are you supposed to see inside a pipe to discover the clog?

In most cases, you can’t. However, plumbers can. Why? Because they use a special tiny camera that they insert into the pipe, allowing them to see exactly what’s inside.

But there is good news: in fact, most clogged drains have two sources:

1. The pop-up stopper covering the sink drain.

2. The P-trap under the sink.

Both of these areas of the drain often collect hair and other debris, forming a clog. Indeed the pop-up stopper and the P-trap are the first places to look if your dealing with a clogged drain and want to do a drain cleaning without calling a professional plumber.

Simple Drain Cleaning Houston Solutions

A really simple drain cleaning solution involves simply cleaning out these two areas of the drain: the pop-up stopper and the P-trap. Even if you aren’t a handyman, you can clean these two pipe pieces out in 10 minutes or less. You can use vinegar and baking soda as a cleaning solution if you want, or you can use another cleaning agent to scrub down these pieces.

How do you clean a pop-up stopper and a P-trap?

Mr Fix It won’t go into detail about how to clean out a pop-up stopper and a P-trap here, because our blog will cover this plumbing how-to in the future. However, here is a simple step-by-step to give you the general picture:

Step 1: To clean the pop-up stopper,

1. Go underneath the sink.
2. Detach the lever bar from the pop-up stopper arm. This lever bar looks like a metal or plastic ladder that attaches the arm to the drain cover.
3. Unscrew the nut of the pop-up stopper and pull out the pop-up stopper metal rod. Clean it off with a cleaning agent.
4. After you’re done, reatach the assembly and turn water back onto the sink. If the sink now drains, you’re done! Otherwise, continue to Step 2.

Step 2: To clean the P-trap,

1. Turn off the water to the pipes and get a little, shallow tub to catch water.
2. Unscrew the P-trap nut with pliers.
3. Pull off the P-trap and inspect it. If there’s any residue, clean it off and scrub it out.
4. After you’ve reattached the P-trap, turn the faucet water back on and check the drain.
5. Now that the drain cleaning is done, the drain should quickly remove the water from the sink.

However, if water still builds up in the sink, the drain is still cloggeed, the drain cleaning didn’t solve the issue ultimately, and you’ll need to hire a professional.

How Drain Cleaning Houston Works?

If none of the drain cleaning solutions worked for you, the profesional plumber can use other drain cleaning tools to fix the clog. Although we won’t go into these solutions in detail here (since our plumbing blog will cover drain cleaning solutions in detail), we will say in brief that a professional plumber has many tools to handle the drain cleaning job. Some of these include high pressured hydro-jets, powered augers or snakes, and micro-cameras to see into the drain pipes.
