Simple Methods On Cleaning The Main Drain Clogged

By Martha Gray


Whether foods are stocked inside kitchen sinks or maybe some hair being stocked inside bathroom sinks, surely no one would ever wish to be dealing with drains having clogs. Having clogs in the lines can result to having bad odors in the kitchens and in bathrooms. The cleaning process does not involve complex procedures.

However, homeowners cannot really avoid those stubborn clogs that will need drain snakes for cleaning. If clogs still persist though drains in the sinks are already clear, the most possible problem would be coming from main line where large clogs were built. Because of this, one best way to resolve this is by removing an entire mechanism and pipes must be cleaned as well. The following are the methods on main drain clogged Boston cleaning.

Locate the clear out in the basement. The clear out is a large, Y shaped pipe which is either three or four inches across. This is often found near the foundation of the house. And specifically, near the location where a main wastewater drain will go through a foundation wall.

Prepare the area to be cleaned. Tightly wedge a large bucket or a container under clear out. Soak up wastewater with the use of old rags, old cloths, and old newspapers laid above the floor. Wastewater is what backs up coming from a clear out. And make sure as well that you are wearing a proper set of clothing for avoiding some injuries. Be sure to wear safety types of rubber boots, old clothes, and rubber gloves during the process.

Remove plug. A wrench is needed for doing the plug removal step. Locate the plug above a Y arm then fit your adjustable wrench based on the plug size. Turn it slowly in anti clockwise direction. Doing this can help in releasing and removing it easily from the drain.

Absorb wastewater spillage. Be sure to catch as much wastewater spillage into the container. And in order to absorb it properly, you can make use of sponges or mop for gathering up more. Keep on mopping up until the flow slows and stops.

Make use of the auger for blockages to be cleared. Waterproof flashlights are very much useful for seeing properly the blockage in lines. So if there are clogs, insert the auger deeply into the lines and turn its handle for grinding the clog.

Reinstall plug. When the clog is already cleared, you reinstall the plug. Test all the sinks by running water into toilet, kitchen, and other fixtures. But if there is still blockage, check outside the source of clog. Continue to do the steps repeatedly until you can clear the clog. However, for major problems, which you think you cannot resolve by yourself and just by doing these simple steps, to hire a professional in Boston, MA to do the plumbing service can be recommended.

Remove the roots from drain. You may have trees outside the yard, which have grown roots into the line, through pipe joints. Acquire the root cutting auger or rent it from the building supply center. Open the plug inside your house and go outside for excavating the section which is closest to the roots. Then insert an auger cable and activate it. Test all the drains after the work to check the blockage.
