Clogged drains can be a slight problem, requiring only a few minutes and a plunger to correct. Or they may be a potentially serious emergency, requiring the intervention of a plumbing professional. Keeping a plunger handy is a good plan. You may wish to own a plumber’s auger as well. Drains can be kept clean with home remedies or with commercial drain cleaners. But when these fail, and the situation is serious, it is probably time to make the call to your local plumber, to clear the clog and save the day.
