How to clear a clogged bathtub drain?

Drain snakes are wonderful for pulling hair and soap scum out of shower drains, and can be found at many stores. However, if your bathtub drain clog isn’t budging with a drain snake, you may need to call in a professional plumbing service for assistance.

Is drain cleaner bad for pipes?

Many drain cleaners use harsh chemicals that can damage pipes over time, so we recommend you use an alternative solution instead. A professional plumber can help identify the cause of your stopped up drains and recommend a solution that won’t damage your pipes in the long run.

What to do when a drain cleaner doesn’t work?

To loosen debris, try a solution of warm water and detergent that won’t harm your pipes, then use a drain snake to unclog the drain and pull out debris. If this at-home method isn’t successful, it’s time to call in a professional plumbing company like Plumb Works to address the clog.

How to unclog a grease clogged drain?

Try a solution of detergent and extra hot water, which you may need to let sit a while before being flushed down with water. If the grease is really stubborn, a professional plumber can identify where the clog is located and help clear it.

How to keep yard drains from clogging?

Upkeep of yard drains normally becomes most important during the fall, when there is a large volume of dead leaves and other yard debris that have potential to make their way into the drain. Keep the drain clear from old leaves and debris by taking off the grate and removing any debris that has collected; you can also flush the rain pipes with a garden hose to get out any remaining debris.

Dishwashers

Just like a kitchen sink gets clogged by soap residue and food particles, a dishwasher drain can get clogged as well. When you start to notice a lot of water and even pieces of food left at the bottom of your dishwasher after a cycle, that’s a big indicator of a dishwasher drain clog. A plumbing service can make quick work of getting your drain unclogged and your dishwasher running efficiently again.

Washing Machines

Not being able to run a load of laundry when you need to is a big inconvenience. If you’ve noticed persistently pooling water in your machine after running a cycle, you probably have clogged washer drains. Thankfully, the drain cleaning process is quick and painless when you call on a trusted Atlanta plumber to get the job done.

Garbage Disposals

Oftentimes when a kitchen sink is clogged, the garbage disposal is the culprit. While the purpose of a garbage disposal is to break up food into smaller pieces that won’t clog up the drain, these food particles can still build up over time, causing a clogged garbage disposal drain. If the problem can’t be resolved with home remedies, it’s best to call a plumber before any damage is done to the disposal or the pipes.

AC Drains

Air conditioner drain lines are one feature of a home that most people neglect until it becomes a big problem. Over time, a buildup of algae, mold, mildew, and minerals can create a clogged AC drain line, which can create issues like water damage if not addressed.
