Drainage pipe: Don’t rush to call an expensive plumber, do it this way.

Step 6: Use a Drain Snake or Wire

For deeper blockages:

• Insert a drain snake or straightened wire
• Rotate and pull out trapped hair or debris
• Flush with hot water afterward

These tools are inexpensive and highly effective.

When You Should Call a Plumber

DIY methods won’t solve every problem. Call a professional if:

• Multiple drains are clogged
• Water is backing up into other fixtures
• You notice sewage smells
• Pipes are leaking or damaged

These can indicate a serious blockage or sewer line issue.
