Depending on how severely blocked the drain is, there are a few more ways to effectively clear it. If the issue isn’t too severe, you can simply pour hot water down the clogged drain for a couple of minutes and add bicarbonate of soda and vinegar. However, there are situations when the drain is so severely blocked that only a professional plumber can solve this issue. In this instance a jet blaster is usually used to clear the blockage.
How long does it take to clear a blocked drain?
Clearing a blocked drain can take from several minutes to a couple of hours, depending on how severely clogged it is. Usually, it can take up to three hours if the job is more complex.
