My Drains Have Become Blocked, What Is The Best Way To Unclog Them?
There is a device called a drain snake which is used specifically to unclog drains. It has a long, flexible metal cable and a corkscrew auger attached to it. It can be used both by hand and electronically, and there are several different types available for home use. Drain snakes can be expensive so if you are looking for something a little cheaper, you could first try to solve the problem by running the hot water tap for around five to ten minutes. This sometimes helps to open the drain if it is a little sluggish and not completely blocked. However, if it is completely blocked there are products which you can buy from most leading supermarkets and some high street stores which should be able to work. Once you have used a chemical cleaner, you will have to leave it for a while before running hot water down the drain to ensure it has cleared it.
