A lot of homeowners get frustrated with pesky clogged drains, so here are some DIY tricks to eliminate these clogs once and for all!

Humble, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/19/2023 -- Most homeowners understand the dreaded feeling of realizing that clogged drains have plagued a household's plumbing system, and drain clogs are often really difficult to fully eliminate.

Sure, most people are able to temporarily alleviate a clog, but more often than not these clogs come back and can even persist for long periods of time. This is why it's so important for homeowners to know DIY tricks that actually work.

Below are some easy DIY drain cleaning tips to help homeowners deal with clogged drains!

Hot Water

It may seem too simple, but hot water can do a great job at alleviating pesky drain clogs in certain scenarios. All that's needed is to pour the hot water down the drain and let it work its magic.

The trick is to only pour small portions of hot water at one time, and space out the increments.

Wire Hanger

Wire hangers are also good options as a DIY unclogging device. The wire will need to be straightened out so it can reach deep into the clogged drain, but this is a solid trick for shower drains in particular.

Drain Snake

A lot of people think only professional plumbers use drain snakes, but these products can actually be found in just about any home improvement store.

Drain snakes are incredible drain cleaning devices that seamlessly maneuver into a drain, and eventually break up clogs without risking pipe integrity. This method typically offers incredible results and can eliminate even the worst type of hair clogs and drain gunk!

Wet/Dry Vacuum

Wet/dry vacuums are also good options when it comes to DIY unclogging, and these vacuums are powerful enough to eliminate even the most stubborn drain clogs.

The trick with this device is to start out in liquid mode, and then let the vacuum use its powerful suction to fully unclog the pipe!

Sodium Hydroxide
Also known as caustic soda, this drain cleaning solution is often found in hardware stores. It's a very dangerous product that can potentially cause chemical burns, so it has to be handled extremely carefully. This means wearing rubber gloves and eye protection, and never keeping it in reach of pets or children.

Caustic soda is so powerful that it can easily turn into a mixture that'll break down pesky clogs in about 30 minutes. Once the solution has done its magic, the last step is to simply flush the drain with hot water.

Baking Soda & Vinegar
Baking soda and vinegar is a classic DIY cleaning solution that's also very helpful for drain cleaning purposes. When this solution goes into a clogged drain, it'll immediately create a fizzing reaction that removes grime, hair, and other drain debris.

Reach Out To A Plumbing Professional
Sometimes drain cleaning simply isn't a DIY plumbing project, and this is partly because any DIY plumbing can lead to worsened issues. When the above DIY tricks don't get the job done, it means it's time to call a professional to check out the drains for themselves.

The good news is that pro plumbers will have top-notch equipment to fully ensure the long-term integrity of a property's pipes!

Home and business owners need to catch up on the latest smart plumbing technology, because there’s A LOT to be excited about in 2023!

Humble, TX -- (ReleaseWire) -- 07/07/2023 -- The plumbing industry is always evolving, but in 2023, there are new advancements in smart plumbing that are changing everything for home and business owners throughout the United States.

What's particularly alarming is that there are countless properties in America that were built in the 80s and 90s, and these properties just so happen to be at vulnerable ages in which plumbing investments are extremely necessary. But the good news is that the renovations and home improvement investments available today are very advanced and will maintain optimal plumbing system functionality for decades to come!

The plumbing specialists at DG Plumbing are some of the most cutting-edge industry pros in the country, and here's their list of smart plumbing technologies that are currently trending throughout America:

High-Quality Leak Prevention Systems

Water leaks are some of the sneakiest plumbing issues that property owners face, largely because they often go by unnoticed until serious damages are recognizable. Leakage also can happen in very obscure parts of a home or business, but the good news is that property owners can now better prevent leaks by installing new pipes to prevent leaks.

These systems warn people about potential leaks throughout a plumbing system, and they'll let people know when it's time to reach out to professional plumbers.

LED Light Installations in Toilet Seats

Everyone knows how inconvenient it can be to turn on bathroom lights in the middle of the night when sleepy eyes aren't easily adjustable, and another trend throughout the plumbing industry is to install toilets with LED lights to make nighttime bathroom usage more convenient.

These LED lights have sensors on them, so they'll only turn on when a person is approaching the toilet. These lights also come in many different colors and styles, so they're helping homeowners to spice up their bathroom aesthetics while not blasting their tired eyes with regular household light fixtures!

Outdoor Spigots With Cold & Hot Water

Many homes with outdoor spigots can only get cold water out of these fixtures, but this is beginning to change across the entire country. One very popular smart plumbing trend is to install outdoor spigots capable of combining both cold and hot water.

People simply need warm water for gardening and other outdoor activities, and these spigots offer easy temperature controls (as well as anti-freeze technology).

Bluetooth Speaker Installations in Showers

A lot of people love listening to music while they shower, but most people bring a portable speaker into their bathrooms or use their phones to hear their favorite tunes.

This is why many households throughout America are investing in Bluetooth speakers that are directly installed within showers. This makes it easier than ever before to keep up with radio broadcasts and much more, and these speakers are often removable so it's also easy to use them when bathing in a bathroom's tub.

Tankless Water Heaters

Climate change and environmental issues are making property owners much more conscious of their water usage and overall energy consumption, and these eco-friendly concerns are leading to a massive surge towards tankless water heaters.

Tankless water heaters have been around for several years, but in 2023, they're becoming one of the top smart plumbing trends in America. People with older water heaters simply aren't replacing old tanks with new ones, because going tankless is the latest trend that's helping property owners save water usage and utility costs!

2023 Will Continue To Be A Huge Year For Smart Plumbing Technology!

There's a lot for home and business owners to be happy about when it comes to the latest smart plumbing technology, and plenty of property owners will be investing in the above trends throughout 2023.
