Clogged sinks are a common household problem. There are various ways by which drains can be cleaned out but the inconvenience caused is very stressful and irritating. There could be many reasons for clogging of drains like food residues, excessive hair accumulation, build ups of detergent in the pipes and many more.

There are plenty of techniques used to avoid drain clogging. You can unclog your drainage system by putting water with large amount of salt in it. Baking soda and vinegar are also used for this purpose. Also, for unclogging the drains you need tools like plunger or pliers. If the situation is worse, you may require an electric snake or an auger.

Let us see the way one should use the auger so as to quickly and efficiently remove the debris from the drains.

Basically, an electric snake is a metal cable with a cork screw auger at the end of the cable. The first and the foremost consideration is to wear gloves as it could be messy working with the clogged drains.

Just put the tool into the blocked drain pipe and force the obstruction down the drain by hitting it hard. This will ultimately clear the drains.

The head of the auger consists of a corkscrew that gets rotated inside the drain to take out the debris. Make sure, you rotate the corkscrew properly. Slowly pull the snake out of drain. Things may get messy at this point as the clog will might be attached to the head of the snake.

Try using a snake multiple times if the first time does not unclog the drain. Well, this can surely happen if huge amount of build up is accumulated in the drain since long time or even if the clog is very hard to remove. Add 2 to 3 bucket of hot or plain water into the drain. Lastly, clean the auger.

Take the help from a plumber if the problem continues and get it solved by some great professionals in order to protect your drainage system from further damage.
