Drain cleaning is something that a lot of people dread with a passion.
Clogged drains are something that everyone has dealt with one time or another but did you know that there are many different ways to clean your drain? There are as many ways to clean a drain as there are clogs for the drains in question.
Most of the time a homeowner can take care of the clog themselves.
It is just that simple to do but most people don't realize that it is.
So how can you do it yourself and when do you call the professionals? Simple clogs of hair and grease can be taken care of by the homeowner using a variety of measures.
Truth to be told, most homes don't need drastic measures and can take care of the clog using things such as baking soda and vinegar for example.
It can be just that simple.
You may also need to resort to the use of a plunger to clear a drain.
Drain opening can be accomplished with liquid drain openers as well if you so choose.
Using a snake is another option for the homeowner.
Now to prevent clogs from happening, you would need a drain cover in order to stop the clogging.
However bear in mind that sometimes the best idea is to simply call your local plumber and have them come out to take care of the clog.
It is simply the more financially responsible as well as reasonable.
Plumbers have equipment that the standard homeowner doesn't in order to clear the drains quickly and get them flowing again.
Just remember that you have to be specific as your plumber is not a mind reader and cannot diagnose on vague information.
If you have a clog that still will not come free after you have used many of the methods listed above then you need to call a plumber for the problem at hand.
You can damage pipes without meaning to, if some of these procedures are not done right.

This is where preventative maintenance comes in.
If you practice this, you won't have to call your local plumber for a house call.
