How to Unclog a Drain Yourself: 5 Proven Methods

5 Ways to Unclog a Drain

1. Boiling Water

The simplest method for grease clogs. Pour 1-2 liters of boiling water down the drain. Repeat 2-3 times.

2. Baking Soda + Vinegar

Pour 100g of baking soda into the drain, add 100ml of vinegar. Wait for the reaction to finish (10-15 min), flush with hot water.

3. Plunger

A classic and effective method. Press the plunger tightly against the drain and make 10-15 sharp pushes.

4. Plumbing Snake

For serious clogs. Insert the snake into the pipe and rotate clockwise.

5. Chemical Drain Cleaners

Specialized products. Follow the instructions and never mix different products!
