How to unclog a pipe yourself?
Often the first step is to find out where exactly the problem is. To start with, it is worth trying to use special chemicals that can help dissolve the accumulated mass in the pipes. However, please remember that some of these products may be dangerous to our health, so you should always read the instructions and use them with caution.
If we want to act more mechanically, it is worth using the classic method - the spiral. We can rent them or buy them in a construction store. The spiral is most often in the form of a flexible wire or rubber band that should be inserted into the pipe and moved towards the blockage. Always be careful not to damage the pipe.
If there are larger items inside the pipe, such as toys, you must use a garden hose. Just connect the hose to the bathroom, plug the drain and run high-pressure water to remove the obstruction.
However, if none of the above methods work, you should seek help from a specialist. A specialist will certainly find and remove the cause of the problem. However, it is worth remembering that regular inspections of pipes are the best way to avoid unclogging problems in the future.
Home ways to unclog pipes using basic products
It is common for our pipes to become clogged 
and they need unclogging. Instead of calling a specialist right away, it is worth trying to solve this problem yourself using home remedies.
Boiling water
One of the easiest ways to unclog pipes is to use boiling water. Pour several liters of boiling water into the clogged drain to dissolve any food or grease residue. You can also try to remove residual dirt using a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. Just pour about 100g of soda into the drain and pour 100ml of vinegar. It is recommended to cover the drain immediately to make the mixtures react more effectively.
A mixture of table salt and water
If the above methods fail, it is worth trying to create a mixture of water and table salt. Simply mix 1/2 cup of salt with 1/2 liter of water and pour it into the clogged drain. After about 30 minutes, the mixture should dissolve the impurities.
Hot water and baking soda
Another home method for unclogging pipes may be to use a sodium pipe cleaner. Just pour half a cup of baking soda into the clogged drain and then pour in hot water. After about an hour, this mixture should dissolve the accumulated impurities and unclog the pipe. However, if your clogged pipe problem is serious, you should always consult a professional to avoid more serious plumbing problems in the future.
Mechanical unblocking of pipes with a piston
Another way to unclog pipes may be to use a plunger. Place it on the clogged drain and move it up and down to remove the debris.
Preparations for unblocking pipes
