Debris and residue buildup in the drain line—as well as objects lodged in your pipes—often result in clogged drains. It’s one of the most common plumbing issues we handle for our customers.

But when is it okay to fix the problem on your own and when should you call a professional drain cleaning company?

Common DIY Solutions to Drain Clogs

If the blockage is shallow enough, you may be able to remove it through DIY—either plunging, using a store-bought chemical drain cleaner, or even using a basic drain snake. These are all quick remedies for sink or shower clogs.

For those who prefer not to use chemical drain cleaners, you may also run boiling water down the drain or pour in a mixture of vinegar and baking soda—especially useful for unclogging kitchen sinks.

More handy homeowners may also open the P-trap under their bathroom or kitchen sink and clear out any debris stuck there. The P-trap is designed to catch debris or objects that fall into the drain, preventing them from entering any farther into the drain line and causing potential blockages deeper in your plumbing system.

Calling a Plumber for Professional Drain Cleaning

If you have tried to solve the problem on your own but your drains are still clogged, or you are experiencing multiple clogged drains, there is likely a blockage farther in your drain line or main sewer line. In this case, it may be time to enlist help from a professional drain cleaning expert.

Lynch Plumbing will get to the source of the problem and provide safe, effective solutions. In our trucks we carry professional-grade motorized drain snakes and augers, natural yet powerful drain cleaning products, and even equipment for hydro jetting.

What to expect from our drain cleaning services

Our experienced plumbers will first review the problem, using a drain inspection camera if necessary. This allows us to locate the affected area and provide you with the most accurate solution, which can include:

Drain snaking: A professional drain snake or auger is able to bend with the pipes and reach debris that has accumulated deeper in the drain line. The snaking equipment can cut through buildup and allow the torn debris to easily flow through the pipes. It can also pull out more solid debris or foreign objects.

Natural drain cleaners: We can also recommend eco-friendly drain cleaning products such as Bio-Clean®. These drain cleaners are completely chemical-free and use friendly bacteria to eat away at organic waste in your plumbing lines.

Hydro jetting: This involves heavy-duty drain cleaning that can return your pipes to like-new condition. A powerful blast of water (and nothing else) scrubs the interior pipe walls clean of excessive buildup and corrosion.

At Lynch Plumbing, our goal is to ensure the safety and longevity of your plumbing system. As a result, we only carry out safe and proven solutions to your clogged drain problems. And you will only receive the service you need—no pressured upselling, no hidden costs, no unwelcome surprises.
