Simple Methods On Cleaning The Main Drain Clogged

By Martha Gray


Whether foods are stocked inside kitchen sinks or maybe some hair being stocked inside bathroom sinks, surely no one would ever wish to be dealing with drains having clogs. Having clogs in the lines can result to having bad odors in the kitchens and in bathrooms. The cleaning process does not involve complex procedures.

However, homeowners cannot really avoid those stubborn clogs that will need drain snakes for cleaning. If clogs still persist though drains in the sinks are already clear, the most possible problem would be coming from main line where large clogs were built. Because of this, one best way to resolve this is by removing an entire mechanism and pipes must be cleaned as well. The following are the methods on main drain clogged Boston cleaning.

Locate the clear out in the basement. The clear out is a large, Y shaped pipe which is either three or four inches across. This is often found near the foundation of the house. And specifically, near the location where a main wastewater drain will go through a foundation wall.

Prepare the area before starting to clean. Prepare the container or the large bucket to be wedged tightly under a clear out. Make use of some old newspapers, cloths, and rags to be laid on the floor in order for wastewater to be soaked up that backs up from the clear out. Be sure to wear the proper clothing to avoid slipping and some other accidents. Wear a safety rubber gloves, old clothes, and rubber boots during the task.

Remove plug. By using a wrench, do the removal process. The plug is located just on top of the Y arm. Fit the wrench which is adjustable into a plug then turn it very slowly in counter clockwise direction to release and remove it easily from drain.

Absorb wastewater spillage. Be sure to catch as much wastewater spillage into the container. And in order to absorb it properly, you can make use of sponges or mop for gathering up more. Keep on mopping up until the flow slows and stops.

Make use of the auger for blockages to be cleared. Waterproof flashlights are very much useful for seeing properly the blockage in lines. So if there are clogs, insert the auger deeply into the lines and turn its handle for grinding the clog.

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 roots from the drain. Big trees may have grown outside your yard and the roots are growing towards the line through the joints of the pipe. Root cutting augers are required for use. You may rent one from a building supply center. Start to excavate the section that is closest to where the roots are and insert the auger cable then activate it. Do a testing for all drains and check for blockage.
