Simple Methods On Cleaning The Main Drain Clogged

By Martha Gray


Whether there are some stocked foods in the kitchen sink, or some hair in the bathroom sink, nobody really likes on dealing with clogged drains. These are also one of the main causes why the kitchen or bathroom have bad odors. But cleaning them may not need to be that difficult. Usually, the most common way to remove the clogs is by the use of a plunger.

However, there are some clogs that maybe stubborn in which a drain snake will be required for cleaning. And if clogs persist even if the drains in sinks are clear, you might need to check main line where in the large clog is possibly built up. For this reason, removing the entire mechanism is required, and as well as cleaning the pipes. So here are the following methods for cleaning easily the main drain clogged Boston.

Look for the location of the clear out in your basement. Clear outs are large and Y shaped pipes which are either 3 to 4 inches across. These are located near where the home foundation is. Specifically, very near to the main wastewater drain that will pass in the 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 the plug. Provide a wrench for this removal step. Fit the adjustable wrench on the plug which is located above the Y arm. Slowly turn it in an anti clockwise direction. This must be done in order to release it and to remove it from drain.

Absorb the wastewater spillage. Much amount of wastewater spillage must be caught up to the container. This can be properly absorbed if mops or sponges will be used to gather up more. Continue on mopping or wiping with sponge until the flow will slow down and then stops.

Use an auger for clearing the blockage. If you acquire a waterproof flashlight, it can be so much useful in spotting the blockage from main drain. If there is, insert the auger into the line very deeply. Turn the handle so that the clog will be grounded.

Reinstall the plug. Once you are already sure that the clog is cleared, reinstall plug. Do some testing by running water to the toilet, sink, or some other fixtures. If you can still notice that blockage is still there, better check on the clog source outside. Then continue on doing the steps until the clog is cleared. There maybe some major problems which are the causes of clogs, and resolving these might be difficult for you. So it would be better to hire for a professional plumbing service in Boston, MA.

Remove the tree roots from a drain. Your yard may have some big trees located near the line and the roots may possibly grow through the pipe joints. So root cutting augers will be required for this. Start excavating those sections that are located close to roots. Insert your auger and start on activating it. And after, all drains should be checked for blockage.
