- you
need to determine the spot where the drain is clogged.
to do so, turn on the faucet, let the water run &
time how long it takes for the sink to back up (1
minute = approx 7ft of pipe). this is the location
where the clog begins
- a
drain partially blocked by grease will have a gurgling
noise after the water has drained out of the fixture.
ezyme-based drain cleaners work best on this type of
clog. a good indicator that a drain cleaner is
enzyme-based is its price; it costs more than
chemical-based drain cleaners
- pour
the enzymes in the sink at night & let it work
while you sleep
- plungers
also work on different fixtures, not just toilets.
only drawback - may cause a slow drain to get worse by
pushing the blockage further down the
drain

Save
your valuable time, do
not rent an electric snake
from the hardware store! risk
of injury in operating
poorly-mantained equipment is
too great. lack of training
& improper safety gear can
cause hand or back injuries.
SAVE TIME, EFFORT & MONEY,
purchase the replacement parts
yourself & hire a plumber
to clear the drain &
install new pipes
