Important Plumbing Info For Clogged Drains

  • ​Garbage disposals are drains that clogs frequently because people throw things down the drains that cannot be dissolved.  Always keep your hands out of the drains when trying to unclog your garbage disposal. Turn off the disposal switch, find the red button on the disposal and push it in until it "clicks".  This will reset the garbage disposal.  Try turning the switch back on and testing it again.
  • Washing machines get a lot of action throughout the week.  We often fill our machines up with too many clothes which makes it hard to drain the water from the bin.  If your water is backing up or is slow to drain, your washing machine might be the issue. 
  • Clogged toilet? No need to panic.  If the water is at the top of the bowl, give it some time and the water will soon drop just enough to get out the plunger.  Position the plunger where it's suction is completely covering the drain.  Plunges should be gentle but firm enough to suction the clog right out.  If you push to hard then you might have some "muddy" water splashing all over the walls and yourself.  
  • Make sure to have a drain snake nearby.  This useful tool will be able to reach the depths of your drains and remove most clogs.  These snakes are flexible to twist and turn with the pipe, yet sturdy enough to remove stubborn clogs.
