Have you ever experienced that the water cannot flow down quickly when washing vegetables? It doesn’t seem like a big deal, but there’s a lot of trash accumulated in the drains that you can’t see. If you don’t deal with it in time, the situation will get worse and worse, and it will be more troublesome to clean later.
Don’t think this matter too complicated. In fact, you can easily solve these problems with just a few simple steps. You no longer have to worry about appointments and expensive labor fees, which also leaves a lot of money for you. If you don’t know how to do it, then keep reading, we will give you a detailed description of several methods to unclog sewers.
The reason is actually very simple. The slow drainage of the sink must be caused by the blockage in the water pipe, which prevents water from flowing quickly in the pipe. The kitchen sink is exposed to grease and some kitchen waste all year round, so the grease will condense and accumulate in the water pipe. Even if the garbage in the sink is removed daily, the grease will cause the sink to become clogged for a long time. In addition, some vegetables or garbage will also wash into the sewer through the gaps, so blockage is very common.
Preparation before you start
Before starting, clean up the garbage that can be seen in the sink, especially the sink stopper. You need to pick it up and check whether there is any garbage blocking the sink stopper. Sometimes kitchen residue will also block the drain hole of the sink stopper, causing drainage is too slow or clogged.

Homemade cleaner
When we wrote about how to clean a sink before, we talked about how you can use your own cleaner to unclog sewer pipes. Although the steps are simple, this method is widely circulated. If you ask your family members, they must all know it. And this method is more environmentally friendly and safer.
First prepare half a cup of baking soda and half a cup of vinegar. Pour the baking soda into the drain first, and then pour the white vinegar. Cover the drain with a rag, wait for fifteen minutes for them to react, and then pour boiling water to flush out the remaining decomposition products in the pipe. Finally, turn on the water in the pool and rinse.
Natural boiling water method
Since the kitchen sewer pipes will hold more grease, flushing with clean water may not be effective because cold water cannot rinse away the grease after it cools. So rinsing with boiling water can dissolve the grease.
First boil a pot of hot water, and immediately pour the boiling water into the sewer. This method is the simplest and will not damage the pipes. It is recommended to flush the sewer with boiling water every few days to ensure that the pipes are clear.
Use tool plunger
If there is a lot of garbage accumulated in the pipes, flushing or using homemade cleaners will not be able to remove it well. So this time you need to use the plunger.
After pressing the plunger on top of the drain, you need to add water to cover the rubber cup of the plunger to prevent air leakage. The accumulated garbage in the pipes can be cleaned out through pressure. If the effect is not obvious one time, you may need to try a few more times.

The garbage in the sink needs to be cleaned up in time. Don’t let it accumulate inside the sink. Some garbage will be washed into the sewer by water. Over time, it will accumulate.
Clean grease from drains regularly by pouring boiling water down the drain.
Cleaning the drain on a daily basis is also one of the reasons why the drainage tank drains slowly. Some kitchen waste may be hidden in the gaps, causing blockage.
