How Can I Unblock a Badly Blocked Drain Safely at Home?

Start with a drain snake and an environmentally friendly drain cleaner. These are safe at-home options for minor clogs. Install or clean drain traps to keep debris out. In Scranton kitchens, scrape food into the trash and never use the disposal as a trash can. Avoid putting eggshells and potato skins in the disposal. If water still backs up, stop. Pros may need a motorized auger or hydro jetting, chosen after an inspection and, when needed, a video camera check. Annual drain cleaning helps prevent blockages. <br/>
