What Can Be Put Down Your Drain To Help With The Issue?

  • Boiling Water – Pour as much as possible to dissolve obstructions before calling a professional.
  • Vinegar and Bicarbonate of Soda – Pour around 1/3 of a cup of each into the drain for an hour, before hot water to clean and dissolve the drain.
  • Use a Plunger – An old school method that may do the trick before the arrival of a drainage contractor. 
  • Chemical Cleaners – Supermarket chemical cleaners may unblock minor drainage blockages without the need for a drainage contractor.
  • Biological Cleaners – These are similar to chemical cleaners, but far more environmentally friendly, and may unblock minor drainage blockages without the need for a drainage contractor.
