When Should You Use a Plunger?

Blockage in the sink or toilet can be a messy experience, the sink starts to stink, particles remain on the surface, and worse of all, if it's in the toilet; a blockage can even cause overflow all over the bathroom floor. Pipe blockage is mostly resulting from insolvent materials; mistakenly flushing down toilet paper or any other solid substance. Before panicking and deciding to call a plumber, you can also try to solve the problem using a tool called a Plunger. Here are some tips on how to use a plunger effectively.

Choose the best and most suitable one. A plunger for the sink isn’t the same for the toilet due to its design for use; there are also different types you can easily get in the market. You may come across some cheap plungers and consider going for one, but is it really worth it? Buying a good one despite its cost will serve you more. The ideal plunger has a handle of about 2 feet long and a thick rim with rubber at the end.

Before starting to plunge, place the rubber end of the tool over the sink drain hole to close other openings that connect to the drain you're trying to unclog. For a more firm fit, apply petroleum jelly to the rim of the rubber end. After which, fill the sink with water till it covers the plunger head.

Start Plunging: Vigorously pump the plunger over the drain opening for about 15 minutes with forceful thrust exerting high water pressure which will dislodge the clog and push in through downward the pipe. However, you might need to do this several times before you notice results due to the nature of the clog. However, take caution with the pressure so as not to damage the sink fitting.
