Q: Do drain cleaning experts need to be certified or licensed?

• <div><p>In most areas, drain cleaning professionals don&rsquo;t technically need a license, as they aren&rsquo;t altering your plumbing system in any way. However, we recommend hiring a drain cleaning professional with a plumbing license and certification. Certified plumbers are more likely to provide professional solutions to drain clogs without damaging your system. They&rsquo;ll also have the diagnostic tools and experience necessary to remove the clog entirely rather than providing a temporary solution, as a handyperson might. Use Angi&rsquo;s <a href="https://www.angi.com/angi-license-check.htm">state licensing tool</a> to check your plumber&rsquo;s professional licenses before hiring.</p></div>

Q: Can snakes come up through shower drains?

• <div><p>Snakes can occasionally enter homes through shower drains, although it&rsquo;s quite rare. This can happen when they follow sewer pipes or accidentally find their way into plumbing systems. To minimize the risk, consider installing drain covers or stoppers on your shower drains. Always keep drains closed when they&rsquo;re not in use, especially in areas where snakes are known to be active.</p></div>

Q: What happens when you put baking soda and vinegar down the sink drain?

• <div><p>When you put baking soda and vinegar down the drain, they chemically react and help break down clogs. It&rsquo;s not going to work for every type of clog, however. For example, it&rsquo;s not the best way to get rid of grease buildup. For grease, you should try boiling water and white vinegar instead.</p></div>

Q: How can I prevent clogs in my main sewer line?

• <div><p>A two-way cleanout can help if there&rsquo;s already a clog, but the best strategy to prevent one is by not rinsing grease, oil, or fat down your drains, not flushing or rinsing coffee grounds or egg shells down your drains, flushing only human waste and toilet paper (so no diapers, period products, bathroom wipes, or paper towels), and using drain guards on all of your drains. </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>

"5 for sure. The installers were great. Installers did a great job installing the triple sump pump system. System is working well. Won’t really know if all the capabilities of the system will work until Disaster strikes. Because we have had the same system in a different house for the last 20 years, I don’t have any concerns that it will work flawlessly."
