If you have a clogged drain, the last thing you want to do is call a plumber. Luckily, there are a few simple steps you can take to clear it yourself. First, use a plunger to suction onto the drain and push and pull until the obstruction is dislodged. If that doesn’t work, try using a drain snake. Drain snakes are thin tubes made of metal or plastic that can reach deep into drains to clear blockages. To use one, first loosen the obstruction with the plunger or your hands. Then insert the snake into the drain until it reaches the obstruction. Use your hands to pull up on the snake until it clears the blockage. ..
