Laundry Drain

Many people ignore the laundry drain till it's too late until water is covering the floor. Let us handle your laundry drain! If your laundry line is backed up and you need to perform drain cleaning, there are a few steps you can try to unclog the drain:

1. Check the lint trap to see if it is clogged. The lint trap is usually located near the washing machine and can easily become clogged with lint and other debris. Clean the lint trap and see if that helps to unclog the drain.
2. If the lint trap is not the problem, you can try using a plunger to loosen and remove any blockages in the drain. Place the plunger over the drain and push down firmly several times.
3. If the plunger doesn't work, you can try using a chemical drain cleaner to dissolve any clogs. Follow the instructions on the package carefully, as some drain cleaners can be harmful if used incorrectly.
4. If the drain cleaner doesn't work, you can try using a plumbing snake or auger. This tool can be inserted into the drain and used to physically remove any blockages.
5. If none of these methods work, you may need to disassemble the drain to remove the clog. This should only be done if you are comfortable with plumbing and have the necessary tools.

If the problem persists or you are not comfortable trying these methods, it is recommended to call a Sherlock Drain Cleaning (208) 550 6296 for assistance.
