How a Plumber Clears Clogged Drain Pipes

Plunger – Creates suction to dislodge minor clogs.

Drain Snake / Auger – A flexible tool used to break up or pull out blockages.

Chemical or Natural Solutions:

Plumbers often use professional-grade cleaners or, sometimes, a mixture of baking soda and vinegar to dissolve grease or residue safely.

High-Pressure Water Jetting:

A specialized tool that shoots water at high pressure to clear mineral buildup, grease, or debris from the pipes.

Pipe Inspection:

Video cameras may be used to identify hidden clogs, pipe damage, or root intrusion.

Tips for Preventing Future Clogs

Avoid pouring grease, oil, or coffee grounds down the drain.

Use a strainer in sinks and showers to catch hair and food particles.

Flush drains periodically with hot water or a natural baking soda-vinegar mixture.

Schedule regular pipe inspections if you live in a hard-water area.
