Clogged Drain? What to Try and What to Avoid

Safe first steps for slow drains.

Try first

A plunger made for sinks or toilets, or a simple plastic drain snake for hair clogs.

Avoid

Mixing chemical cleaners, which can create dangerous fumes and damage older pipes.

Prevent it

Use drain screens, keep grease out of the kitchen sink, and only flush toilet paper.
