How To Plunge a Drain

How To Plunge a Drain


When a drain is clogged, whether it's a sink, a toilet, or a tub.
the first thing to do is try breaking up the clog by plunging it.
Or just call a licenced plumber Like Mr leak

A plunger always works better if you put enough water into the fixture to cover the plunger.

If plunging doesn't break up the clog, either blast open the drain with a hose and hydraulic bladder or use a drain auger to snake out the drain. - if you dont have a snake you can call a NY/ or NJ plumber we recumend calling mr leak 201.444.1154


To plunge a toilet, fill the bowl about half full. Push the bell-shape of the plunger down into the drain and, maintaining a tight seal, rapidly pump 15 to 25 times with short strokes. If water doesn't flush down, - call a NJ plumber or NY plumber or any licenced plumber


To plunge a sink or tub, first remove the strainer and pop-up. Stuff a rag or sponge into a plastic bag and use this to plug the overflow hole. If one side of a double kitchen sink is blocked, stuff this plug into the drain hole of the other side. Fill the fixture with enough water to cover the plunger's flat rubber cup (fold the bell shape up inside). Plunge steadily up and down 15 or 20 times
intersperse a few powerful pushes. Keep the plunger tightly sealed against the fixture. A plunger doesn't usually work on floor or shower drains, but it's worth a try; be sure the water level covers the plunger for better plunging.
