Drain clogs can be such a problem. Your clogged drain may be something you can manage yourself. Or the situation may be beyond the home-maintenance stage and require professional assistance. But before you get to the point of calling the plumber, let’s talk about some possible preventions and some cures that you might manage yourself.
You may be able to unstop a sink or lavatory clog with just a plunger. Bathtub clogs can be more of a problem, as there is likely to be less easy access to the plumbing beyond the drain. You can try hot water, or you may wish to use a chemical drain cleaner. If neither cleaner nor plunger works, it is possibly time to make the call to your local plumber to get the job done.
