Its not the most ideal situation to have a clogged kitchen drain or washroom drain in your house. It, in fact can turn into a nuisance of sorts if it happens when you are expecting to host a huge social gathering or dinner. Now to start approaching your drain blockage problem, it shall be optimum to take the help of a professional plumber.
The first thing that any plumber would check for would be the type of clog and the type of drains in which they are existing. This would further decide for the drain cleaning method to be used which should be decided very carefully to avoid worsening the situation.
The plumbers can either go in for chemicals as the drain clearing agent or can use some kind of natural drain cleaning tools which they trust. Opening the drain pipe and inspecting for the kind of waste that has clogged the drain can be helpful in dealing with the problem.
In most cases of a kitchen drain clog, you will witness food particles, dirt and fat stuff clogging the narrow hollow space of the plumbing equipment.
Next thing would be to see how porous and durable these particles are. After you have whiffed the nature of the waste, you thrust in a chemical drainpipe cleaner to pump out the waste. But do ensure to not be too experimental with the drainpipe cleaners, as they can be harmful if not used prudently.
One of the most common drain cleaning equipment which is good to have at homes also is the ball type plunger. It can be used to pump out light weight particles.
These type of plungers are more resistant to moisture and air block pressure in the drain. Moreover, they have a great sucking force as compared to the normal plungers.
Otherwise, what you could probably do is “Just affix an easily available drain strainer. A strainer fits into the drainpipe just like a normal strainer and blocks the heavy junk, thereby preventing it from slipping further down the drain.
