What are some of the best remedies to open choked drains of your bathroom? The typical plunger is easiest and speediest solution. The entire process of opening blocked drain with a plunger is simple and straightforward. But don’t just shove the plunger into the drain pipe and start pumping it violently, you could make matters much worse. The most effective procedure to adopt is to cover the drain completely with the bell-shaped head of the plunger and push down gently, then come up quickly and forcefully creating suction. Hopefully the suction of the upwards movement of the drains pipes plunger will pull what ever is stuck in your drain pipe back up into the bathroom toilet, tub or sink. It should be noted here that some bath tubs and sinks have overflow outlets that must be plugged with a sponge or wet towel before using your plunger if this approach is to work.

You can also use chemical cleaners you can buy in the shops to unclog your drain, these uses certain chemicals to open up the blockage in the drainpipe. The chemicals are normally applied only after an unsuccessful attempt to remove the clog using a plunger. The solutions should be left alone for sometime as they loosen up the clog, then you should pour down hot water into the drainpipe to clear the whole thing out. Wear proper clothes while dealing with chemicals, remember the strong chemicals can spill on your clothes and spoil them so be careful with that. And since plunging can throw water in any direction you might want to consider eye-wear in order to protect you from any chemicals. Also remember to read and follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully so that you do not create new issues.

The next thing you can attempt to use if your plunger is unproductive is to loosen the nuts holding the P-trap in place with pliers or a pipe wrench. This will create quite a mess so be ready with a towel and pail. Chrome plated fittings can be protected from scratches by taping up the teeth of the pliers or wrench; that should also give you a firmer grip on the nuts of the trap. With the trap opened, insert gloved hands to remove any debris that may be blocking the bends. If the plunger, the chemical or trap removal does not help, then the blockage could be much deeper in the pipework.

If you are trying to unclog your toilet you can use a toilet auger. If the problem lies in your tub or sink, a plumbers drainage snake will come in handy. Plumbers drainage snakes have been specifically designed to enter deep into the narrow pipe work. By twisting the adjustable handle to drill into the clog, you then pull the obstruction up and out of your drainage. The P-trap should be reconnected once the obstruction is cleared, slowly flush the drain pipe with hot water to confirm that there is no obstruction and that there are no leaks. Make sure that all the connections are properly fitted and sealed, and also check the P-trap for leakages.

If all these methods fail then you need to call in a professional plumber. It is possible that (due to acts of nature or general wear and tear) blockages in the soil stack or sewer service by vegetation or collapsed pipes will be too big a job and too specialised for the homeowner to do by themselves, you should then call in a company with no call out fee like Dynorod.
