What Do We, At Twin Home Experts, Recommend for Drain Clogs?

Many people attempt to unclog their drains themselves. There are many helpful tools that we recommend. Our favorite is the Vastar 3 pack 19.6-inch drain snake cleaning tool. It is available on Amazon.

If you have never used anything like this, we recommend reading the instructions or watching a video to learn the proper way to use it. If used improperly, you could damage your pipes, which would just make the problem even worse.

Because of this, we often recommend calling a professional plumber to deal with the drain clog. They will be able to fix it quickly and easily, along with giving you helpful hints to avoid this problem from happening again.

If you are having trouble with your entire sewer system, the professional will be able to talk to you about your options and get it back up and running as quickly as possible.
