What to do when you have a clogged sink

If you have a clogged sink, do not pour any kind of liquid drain cleaner down the drain. This can corrode your pipes and create even more clogs.

Instead, try using a plunger to dislodge the clog. Splash some water in the sink and place the plunger over the drain. Push and pull the plunger up and down to create suction and break through the clog. If you still can't clear the clog, it's time to call a professional plumber. They will have the tools and expertise to get your sink draining properly in no time.

In the meantime, there are a few things you can do to avoid clogged drains in the future. First, invest in a good drain strainer or hair catcher. This will help to catch any debris before it has a chance to clog your drain. Second, be careful what you flush down the drain. Avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper and human waste. Grease, oils, and food particles can all cause clogs.

Very professional and knowledgeable. The office staff communicated well and were helpful and courteous. We had a major plumbing job done. The cost for all they did was reasonable. The service pro tech, Emanuel Reyes did a great job! We will definitely recommend 1-800 plumber of Pearland,

Emanuel came out to inspect why our commode was not flushing properly. After an inspection he describer the options. Since the commode was over 40 years old we picked the option to replace the commode with a new one. He Asked several questions about what we would like and the showed us two options. We picked the one that we liked and he obtained the commode from the ware house and installed it the same afternoon.. He completed the installation and did a great clean up of the area and answered answered all of our questions. I fully recommend Emanuel and 1-800-Plumber +Air
