A clogged drain is a common home-owner emergency. It can be serious, or you may be able to clear the problem with only a plumber’s helper or a snake.

To prevent the clogged drains, be careful what you put down the drain in the first place. Don’t flush things that shouldn’t be flushed, and don’t dump things down the sink that don’t belong there.

You can help by cleaning your drains occasionally with home remedies. Baking soda followed up with hot vinegar will help to keep the drain clear. But if cleaning and home remedies don’t work, it may be time to call upon your qualified local home plumbing professional.
