Get matched with top drain cleaners in Pierce, NE

Q: How do you open a kitchen sink drain?

• <div><p>A good option for opening up and cleaning a sink drain is to use a &frac14; cup of baking soda and 1 cup of white vinegar, along with a rubber stopper to cover the drain while those materials work their magic. After about 15 minutes, you can flush the drain with hot water. In many cases, these materials can scrub out minor clogs and get the drain working properly again. If the issue persists, call in a plumber near you to get the problem permanently fixed.</p></div>

Q: What kind of drain cleaners are best?

• <div><p>The best drain cleaners are biodegradable ones or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Strong, caustic chemicals may seem appealing with promises of unclogging your drain quickly, but <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-reasons-not-use-liquid-drain-cleaners.htm">liquid drain cleaners</a> can cause damage to your pipes over time. Consider making your own drain cleaner with baking soda and vinegar.</p></div>

Q: Can you dissolve hair in a drain?

• <div><p>It might be possible to dissolve hair caught in a drain, but it&rsquo;s usually not a good way to go about clearing the clog. Some sources mention that baking soda and vinegar can do the trick, but this won&rsquo;t actually dissolve the hair. The hydrochloric acid in drain cleaners can dissolve the hair over time, but it will much more quickly destroy your plumbing pipes and leave you with bigger issues. The best way to remove hair is to do it manually with a drain snake or to have a plumber use an auger to pull clogs out.</p></div>

Q: What causes sewer main blockages?

• <div><p>Grease buildup, tree roots, and foreign objects often cause blockages. Regular maintenance prevents major issues.</p></div>

Q: How do you know if your washing machine filter is blocked?

• <div><p>Your clothes&mdash;and your washing machine&mdash;will send you a few signals if you&rsquo;re overdue for cleaning your washing machine filter. If you notice a buildup of detergent residue on your clothes, your clothes don&rsquo;t dry quickly or at all, or you&rsquo;re noticing lint in the machine, it&rsquo;s time to clean the filter. </p></div>
