Q: How can you tell if a drain line is clogged?

• <div><p>Knowing the signs can alert you to a clogged drain line. Clogs cause slow drainage or cause no drainage (if there&rsquo;s a complete blockage). You may also notice foul odors, gurgling noises, water backing up in other appliances on the same line, or a poorly flushing toilet. If you experience any of these issues and think your line might be clogged, call a plumber.</p></div>

Q: Does bleach unclog drains?

• <div><p>Bleach is generally not recommended for your shower drains. Although diluted bleach can technically help clean your drain, it will not unclog your pipes. In fact, <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/can-you-pour-bleach-down-a-drain.htm">bleach can harm your plumbing system</a> because it&rsquo;s so powerful. The bleach can change the color of your sink and even corrode metal pipes and fittings.</p><p>Often, people reach for bleach because it's already in their house. But it's worth getting a plunger or a drain snake for the job instead. It'll be a lot less money to buy a new plunger than to pay a plumber to repair or replace damaged pipes.</p></div>

Q: Is it better to snake a drain or use a drain cleaner?

• <div><p>Applying drain cleaner is a common DIY solution to clogged drains, but it can be extremely harmful to your pipes and lead to corrosion and leaks. It is almost always better to try snaking a clog than using a drain cleaner, but the best solution is to hire a professional plumber. They can locate the clog and gauge the severity using a camera system and then decide if using a plumber&rsquo;s snake, auger, or drain cleaner is the best option to remove the clog and limit damage to your plumbing system.</p></div>

Q: How do I prevent a drain clog?

• <div><p>The first rule of plumbing is nothing but water, toilet paper, number one, and number two go down the drain. </p><p>To prevent clogs, get yourself:</p><ul><li><p>A compast pail where you can clean plates, drain grease, and toss scraps and paper towels. </p></li><li><p>Drain screens for the shower, tub, and bathroom sink to stop hair, jewelry, toys, etc. from going down the drain.</p></li><li><p>Trash cans for everything that shouldn&rsquo;t go down the drain, like dental floss, hygiene products, and cat litter.</p></li></ul><p><b>P.S.:</b> If you do drop your priceless ring down the drain, take a deep breath, and then <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-retrieve-jewelry-drain.htm">follow these steps to retrieve jewelry from your drain</a>. </p></div>

Q: How long does it take a plumber to unclog a drain?

• <div><p>On average, a plumber will take <b>30 minutes to two hours</b> to clear a clogged drain. If the clog is located close to the drain or an access point and isn&rsquo;t severe, the project will take about half an hour. If the clog is deep within your plumbing system or is a severe blockage, it can take two or more hours to remove the clog. For this reason, main line clogs tend to take longer, usually between two and three hours.</p></div>

"As an interior designer, I'm always looking out for my clients' needs. This time, I was the one in need of a plumber who could come asap to unclog 2 sink drains. JAMES of C&D Drain Cleaning came to the rescue. My pipes, which were exposed in the basement, were made of steel and clogged up due to yrs of accumulating debris from '64 (when my house was built,' to the present. James was right on pt with the problem. He didn't have all the materials to complete this job on May 23rd, so he arrived this morning to finish up unclogging my pipes. He is the consummate professional! He arrived on time, and after working his magic, he cleaned up after himself. James is now listed in my contacts if I ever need his services again. I would be remiss if I didn't write this positive review concerning C&D Drain Cleaning and Sewer Repair. As well as James' honesty and integrity, he didn't overcharge me in the least...in fact he charged me $100 less than his estimate. I couldn't be more pleased with this company. Kudos to C&D!!!"

"Joe from JMS Drain Services was my service technician who arrived well within the window scheduled service time. Joe came in, inspected the sink to determine how to resolve my issue, took out the tool (snake apparatus) to clear the sink, and departed my premises within 15 minutes. I was pleased he resolved my clogged sink so quickly so I could rest after a night's work. Thank you again, Joe."

Knowing the signs can alert you to a clogged drain line. Clogs cause slow drainage or cause no drainage (if there’s a complete blockage). You may also notice foul odors, gurgling noises, water backing up in other appliances on the same line, or a poorly flushing toilet. If you experience any of these issues and think your line might be clogged, call a plumber.

Applying drain cleaner is a common DIY solution to clogged drains, but it can be extremely harmful to your pipes and lead to corrosion and leaks. It is almost always better to try snaking a clog than using a drain cleaner, but the best solution is to hire a professional plumber. They can locate the clog and gauge the severity using a camera system and then decide if using a plumber’s snake, auger, or drain cleaner is the best option to remove the clog and limit damage to your plumbing system.

The first rule of plumbing is nothing but water, toilet paper, number one, and number two go down the drain.

To prevent clogs, get yourself:

A compast pail where you can clean plates, drain grease, and toss scraps and paper towels.
Drain screens for the shower, tub, and bathroom sink to stop hair, jewelry, toys, etc. from going down the drain.
Trash cans for everything that shouldn’t go down the drain, like dental floss, hygiene products, and cat litter.

P.S.: If you do drop your priceless ring down the drain, take a deep breath, and then follow these steps to retrieve jewelry from your drain.
