Meredith had a problem: her tub and shower were draining slowly. She lives in an older apartment building, which means gunk had probably been accumulating in the pipes for years… building up on the inside… leaving less space for the water to flow through… and slowing Meredith’s drain.
Have you ever found yourself in Meredith’s situation? Slow and clogged drains are a common problem and dealing with one can be time and money consuming.
Instead of reaching for your toolbox or calling in a plumber, why not be like Meredith and reach for a bottle of Drain Punch? The non-acid formula wouldn’t damage the pipes in her older building, and thirty minutes later her drain was running smoothly. Meredith bought her Drain Punch at her local Ferguson, although it is also available online.
Want to know how you can clear your drains the same way? Follow along and we’ll tell you step by step how you can get things flowing on your own without calling in a professional.
Step 1: Safety First
Before getting started, remember to always work safely. Drain Punch is a powerful product that works by liquifying organic materials, like hair and soap, so it’s important to remember that you are made of organic materials, too. It’s essential to avoid skin contact, so wear gloves, and if you do get some on you, wash it thoroughly with soap and water.
Step 2: Is the Drain Slow, or Is It Clogged?
The first thing to do is decide if the drain is clogged, or just slow. This will tell you how much Drain Punch to use. If the drain is slow, you’ll want to use a third of a bottle. If the drain is clogged and not draining at all, you will want to up that to half of the bottle.
Step 3: Pour It On!
It’s time to put on your gloves and get pouring. Don’t worry if there is water in the sink or tub you are trying to clear – Drain Punch is heavier than water, and it will go right on through it and down the drain. Just pour in the desired amount, and let it make its way into the drain.
Step 4: Watch and Wait.
Once the Drain Punch is poured, it’s time to let it do the work. Let it sit in the pipes for around 30 minutes, sticking to the sides of the trap and the pipes. If there is water in the sink and the tub, you may start to see results quickly, but make sure you give the Drain Punch time to have its full impact.
Step 5: Rinse
After 30 minutes, go ahead and rinse the drain with warm water. This will help flush all the liquified material right out of your pipes and help prevent it from causing further troubles. Make sure you give it a good rinse to be sure that all the material is carried out into the sewers and away from your building.
Step 6: Check the Results
The last thing to do is check and make sure the problem is dealt with. Just turn on the water and watch. It should flow right down the drain without any slow draining or backups.
Step 7: Repeat If Necessary
Sometimes, it may take more than one treatment to get your drain running smoothly. The clog may be deep down in the pipe, so it can take longer for the Drain Punch to get to it.
At this point, you should be all set! Your drain should run freely, and you did it without using a snake, a plumber, a shop vac – you did it all with just a bit of personal protection equipment and a simple pour.
Remember, clogged drains can be a real problem, but by using Drain Punch, it’s a problem you can solve quickly and easily, just like Meredith. All you have to do is follow these steps and take proper safety precautions, and you’ll be clearing drains without the need for tools or professional help.
