_____________________________________________ Clogged Drains & Contractors for Plumbing: Unclog Sink Drains Plumbing Contractors Submit your project to find a contractor. Part I Before calling on plumbing contractors, you may want to try a simple fix: First, assuming this is your only clogged drain, you will want to try a plunger [Chemicals generally should not be used for clearing drains. Some contain lye which could come back onto your skin. Also are not recommended for septics]. If you have a double sink bowl, and a garage disposal on one side - remove the water from disposal side. Wearing protective glasses or goggles, use a plunger [model with a funnel extension] and placed down in to the waterbacked drain. An option is wiping petroleum jelly around plunger/sink seal to be, covered under the water level]. Push up and down on the plunger repeatedly while maintaining the seal and quickly remove. If this fails, try again. If the drain does open, flush thoroughly with running water. Part II - Plumbing Contractors However if this does fail or works only partially you may want to find a plumbing contractor. Not only are plumbers adept with the plunger but they can be aware of precautionary measures and are equipped with other means of unclogging drain lines. In fact and practice, your problem could go beyond this simple fix and could involve opening the drain trap, or using an automated auger to clear the way deeper into the pipe. Many homeowners are not prepared for this as well as for anything that could crop up as a result of their ' fix'.
