My Response: 

 

The Best Thing is to snake the drain. I am not saying this because I am a plumber, but rather because of the following reasons.

 

1. If you only PLUNGE the sink or USE A Drain Cleaner this Many times is not sufficient.
2. For one thing drain cleaners. Often do not CLEAR the problem. “Adequately.” A Temporary Fix MOST of the Time.
3. When you use a plunger it may just make matters worse. How by bunching up the stoppage. Thus this makes it MORE Difficult to unstop.
4. By removing the p-trap may not reach the problem it is further down the drain. And if not connected correctly can start leaking.

When to use an ELECTRIC POWER SNAKE (The Exception to this might be on the Bathtub Drain.) Drain Cleaning in San Diego Service. What this does is. Removes or Breaks up the stoppage. So that it can Be Washed away or so it will go down the drain. Of course, once it is Broken up. And the food or whatever the stoppage was.

 

Otherwise, it may just keep recurring if not Cleared adequately. I have seen when it is not done with a Power Drill machine it begins to clog sooner than if you use a power tool (Drain Machine.)

 

Also Clean outs should always be installed on drains this makes the work easier when it is accessible.

Especially on a Kitchen sink is where a clean-out is required because this will often or constantly clog the plumbing. Because it contains food waste buildup.

 

Another place would be where a Clean Outs should be is on the Main Drain line. Because it is more difficult gong on the roof. Rather if a clean out is installed like a two-Way Clean out in the front yard this makes it easier and less of an expense to unclog the Main Drain Line.

 

Free Estimates.

It is always recommended for a professional to do the work.

 

I Hope this Helps.
