Clogged roof drains can be a major hassle to deal with and most of the time, require professional help. However, if you are up for a DIY project, there are some easy ways to try and unclog your drain! These tips are sure to help you get to the root of the problem and have your drain running smoothly in no time.
1. Use a Plunger: A plunger is the easiest and quickest way to try and unclog your drain. This tool is designed to force water down the pipe, creating enough pressure to break up any clogs. Be sure to cover any overflow holes with a thick cloth and plunge repeatedly to create suction and pressure.
2. Boiling Water: Boiling water can be used to break up and melt any grease or soap scum that may be clogging your drain. Carefully pour a pot of boiling water down the drain and wait 15 minutes to see if the clog has dissolved.
3. Baking Soda and Vinegar: This age-old remedy is sure to do the trick in unclogging your drain. Start by pouring a pot of boiling water down the drain. Then, mix a cup of baking soda and one cup of white vinegar together in a bowl and pour the mixture down the drain. Allow it to fizz for a few minutes and then pour another pot of boiling water down the drain.
These three easy methods are sure to unclog your drain in no time!
