Here are a few easy ways to fix a clogged drain:

• Use a plunger to remove debris. This might take some practice and a little patience but a plunger can be another cost-effective solution to fixing clogged sink drains. If you have a double sink basin cover the drain on the side that isn’t caulked. This pressure will help the debris spray up to the other drain.
• Check your garbage disposal for potential clogs. If the pot of hot water or the planter don’t work check your garbage disposal.
• Unclog drains with baking soda and vinegar. Often a sink clog can be remedied with a drain cleaner but you can try homemade drain cleaner like vinegar and baking soda.
• Purchase a drain snake. A drain snake is a simple tool that can be used for dream cleaning. It’s a long flexible metal cable with an auger, or drill on the end for breaking up clogs.
