Few home repairs that demand immediate attention like blocked drains. Here are a few steps you can try to unclog your drains.

Eco-friendly method
The easiest and simplest thing you can do is flush your drain with a kettle full of boiling water. Take note that this trick works best on metal pipes.

A little bit of exercise method
Use that old fashion plunge to do the job. It will forcibly push whatever is stuck down your pipes to clear the blockage.

Mix it and pour it method
Use something present in your kitchen. Like vinegar, baking soda, and salt or you can buy a ready to pour drain.

When all else fails method
Pick up your phone and contact a drain specialist or your local plumber. As they say. It’s better to trust the experts.
