Q: How do I unclog a washing machine drain pipe?

• <div><p>To unclog the drain pipe, remove the machine's drain hose from the pipe or sink drain, being careful to contain any water in it. Next, use a plunger for sink drains or a plumbing snake for a wall drain. Test the repair by pouring a small amount of water into the pipe before trying it with a laundry load. </p></div>

Q: How do you clean a drain without removing the stopper?

• <div><p>If you have a sink stopper, it can feel more challenging to clean the drain without removing it, but here are a few simple steps:</p><ul><li><p>Pour &frac12; cup baking soda into the drain using a funnel</p></li><li><p>Pour 1 &frac12; cups vinegar into the drain</p></li><li><p>Close the sink stopper for 15&ndash;20 minutes</p></li><li><p>Open the drain</p></li><li><p>Pour 2 cups of boiling water down the drain (be cautious as boiling water can damage some types of pipes)</p></li></ul><p>If the drain isn&rsquo;t unclogged, repeat the process.</p></div>

Q: What is the difference between a one-way cleanout and a two-way cleanout?

• <div><p>With a one-way cleanout, you can access your sewer line from one direction. Depending on the way it curves, a plumber can either access the side of the pipe that goes into your home or the side that goes to your yard. On the other hand, two-way cleanouts allow pros to access both sides of the sewer line, thanks to their dual-pipe design (they&rsquo;re usually U-shaped).</p></div>

Q: Can liquid drain cleaner make a clog worse?

• <div><p>A liquid drain cleaner can sometimes make a clog worse over time if you use it improperly or too much. The chemicals in drain cleaners can corrode and damage pipes, causing cracks and leaks that may cause further blockages. If the clog is more than the liquid drain cleaner can handle, the cleaner will simply add chemicals to a bigger overall problem.</p></div>

Q: Does pouring water down the toilet help it flush?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour water down the toilet to help it flush. For each flush, you&rsquo;ll need 1 to 2 gallons of water for newer toilets or 3 to 5 gallons of water for older toilets. Rather than dumping the entire bucket in all at once, pour the water in slowly for the best results. If you&rsquo;re pouring water down the toilet to help it flush after a clog, only use 1 gallon of hot water.</p></div>

"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."

If you have a sink stopper, it can feel more challenging to clean the drain without removing it, but here are a few simple steps:

Pour ½ cup baking soda into the drain using a funnel
Pour 1 ½ cups vinegar into the drain
Close the sink stopper for 15–20 minutes
Open the drain
Pour 2 cups of boiling water down the drain (be cautious as boiling water can damage some types of pipes)

If the drain isn’t unclogged, repeat the process.
