Q: How long does it take to clear a clogged drain?

• <div><p>Most clogs are resolved quickly, often within an hour. More complex issues requiring pipe disassembly might take longer.</p></div>

Q: How long does it take to unclog a garbage disposal?

• <div><p>You can often unclog a garbage disposal in less than 10 minutes, though sometimes you might need longer if you&rsquo;re unsure what&rsquo;s causing the clog. For minor clogs, consider plunging the drain, flushing the drain with baking soda and vinegar, or using an Allen wrench to free the clog. If the clog is more severe, contact a local plumber.</p></div>

Q: Can a chemical cleaner damage the clogged drain?

• <div><p>Yes, chemical drain cleaners contain sulfuric acid and hydrochloric acid, both of which are not only dangerous to your health but also extremely caustic. Drain cleaners will corrode your pipes and could lead to destroyed drain lines, especially if the chemicals interact with the piping for long periods. Unfortunately, this extended interaction is likely if you&rsquo;re dealing with a clog, as the drain cleaner will have just as much trouble as water does moving through your plumbing system.</p></div>

Q: How do you unclog a garbage disposal with standing water?

• <div><p>For disposal clogs with standing water, use a sink plunger and place it over the garbage disposal drain. Push the sink plunger up and down the drain about six to eight times before lifting. If the sink drains, the clogged food particles are dislodged from the drain. If there&rsquo;s still standing water, repeat the steps until the standing water clears out. </p></div>

Q: How do I maintain a clear sewer main?

• <div><p>Avoid flushing non-degradable items, schedule regular inspections, and address minor clogs promptly.</p></div>
