5 Powerful Methods To Clear A Slow Drain Without Calling The Plumber

4. Try a plunger
Sometimes the simplest solution is the best. Grab your plunger and try suctioning the drain. If you try this you’ll want to cover other drains in the sink. (If your dishwasher empties into your sink, clamp off the hose). Add some water into the basin of your sink and plunge rapidly until the clog is loosened.
5. Clean your dish disposal
If your kitchen sink is clogged, try cleaning out your dish disposal. After cleaning out the disposal with baking soda and vinegar, try tossing in a few ice cubes and salt and running the disposal until the ice is completely broken up. Rinse with hot water.
Note: If you only have one slow drain, the problem is probably only with that train. However, if you notice several slow drains in your home, you could have a more severe problem that does require the assistance of a professional.
Make sure to share these tips with your friends on Facebook so they can save a little cash when their drains get clogged too!
