A sound of water gurgle in your drainage pipe may hint towards a potential blockage in the pipe. Constant negligence of the issue may make the matter worse. Certainly a water filled sink or a drainage pipe blocked in your bathroom hurts the sanitation scenario prevailing in the home.

Instead of calling a professional to the rescue straightaway, you can give a shot to fix the problem yourself . Here are a few guidelines that may help you with finding the solution to this trouble.

First of all you need to diagnose the problem and understand the complexity of the blockage. A choked drain pipe clearly indicates a clog somewhere in the path of the pipe that is impending the water to stop. A clog may have accumulated due to the hair, paper particles, soap scum, shampoo deposits etc.

Start off the campaign by pulling off the pipe’s end from the sink or the bathroom’s inlet. Unscrew the nuts if its a screwed one.

Once it is unplugged, peek into the pipe to notice any clog. If there is one remove it immediately with the help of you hand. But if it is a deeper clogging then use a rod or a hooked rigid wire instead.

If you’re not able to explore the clog and don’t know the exact location of the clog in the pipe then a plunger has to be brought in. A plunger will suck the pipe in and out so as to clear off all the midway lying foreign materials. Once you start noticing a dip in the water level in the bathroom or sink, it means that the clog has been cleared.

If however you only hear some water gurgles but nothing seems to be changing then put a chemical cleaner into the pipe to make way for water. It has to be taken care that the chemical used is potentially hazardous and hence should be used only as the ultimate solution if all else fails.

If still the blockage looks the same as ever then call a professional plumber to hand over the task as the problem might be a complicated one. Remember to keep an eye on the proceedings as that may help you in the future ventures.
