How Do You Restore Water Flow To A Clogged Kitchen Drain?
When the water flow is clogged in your kitchen drain, see if you can fix it yourself before calling out the plumber. • Realize that when water does not run through your drain, it is because there is a bunch of junk and trash clogged up in one of the pipes, just like cholesterol in your blood stream. The clog could be anywhere in the drain pipes, not just limited to your kitchen, like if one of your blood streams is clotted it could affect other parts of your body, not just that one arm or leg, etc. • Try a plunger. Chemical drain cleaners are hazardous, and sometimes damage older types of pipes though modern plumbing fittings and drain cleaning chemicals seen in most developed countries are tested and certified to be safe when used together. • Keep at it. Plungers can work on the upstroke or the downstroke. Plunging down increases the pressure above the clog and forces it down the drain (while breaking it up), on the upstroke the pressure above the clog becomes lower than the pressure
