As a homeowner, sometimes the drains can clog up. Whether it's because of hair or other objects, clogged drains can really put a damper on your day. Fortunately, thanks to these solutions, you'll have a way to fight back against clogs before they cause you unnecessary stress. 

Boiling Water 

Boiling water is normally used in the kitchen to prepare meals, but this simple solution can also be used to remove clogs in drains. The reason this water is so effective is because of its extreme temperatures. 

If you create enough heat inside your drains, sometimes the clog breaks up and then gets sent down as if it never existed. For this water solution to be effective, though, you need to really make sure you pour the boiling water directly over the drain. This should create enough force to break through whatever has collected inside.

Wire Hanger 

If boiling water doesn't do the trick, you're not out of luck just yet. You can still try the wire hanger method. What you'll need to do is take a wire hanger and straighten it out.

Insert one of the ends through and keep pushing until you feel some resistance. Chances are, this is the clog. Try pushing through gradually to see if you can break it up. If you're worried about damaging the internal workings of your pipes, you can always wrap a soft towel around the end of the hanger before inserting it in the drain.

Contact the Pros 

When nothing seems to be working as far as alleviating the clog in the drain, then it may be time to hire the pros. A professional plumber, more specifically, won't have any trouble getting your drains back to working order.

After all, drain cleaning professionals have dealt with probably thousands of clogged drains in the past. They can pour down fast-acting chemicals that essentially eat away at materials causing blockage. You probably can't find these chemicals on the market, making plumbers your go-to resource for severe clogs. 

If the chemicals don't work, they can always unhook your drain's pipes to give them easier access to the clog.

It's never fun to find one of the drains in your home clogged. It does happen from time to time, though. Fortunately, there are plenty of solutions you can try to get your drains working again. Just stay proactive, utilize the right resources, and keep trying until something works.
