    Chemicals and plunger

    Another common way that you may have seen is to use stronger chemicals to let sit in the clogged sink, and then using a plunger to push out the offending substance or object. The strong chemicals work due to the same principles as the vinegar and baking soda, by having the chemical potency to react away or at least soften the object that is choking the sink. By doing so, it allows the suction from the plunger to do its work easily – a plunger is able to clear a choke when the stuck object is loosened or reduced in size. However, chemicals used without focus will potentially damage the drainage system. It is not recommended to use chemicals without proper plumbing knowledge.

    Plumbing Snake

    A plumbing snake is one of the trademark tools of a professional plumber in Singapore. What it does is that it goes directly to the source of the clog and pumps out the stuck object with high pressure. However, without any idea of which point of the drainage the blockage is, plumbers may have to push and pull the plumbing tool into the drainage system with a substantial amount of force. Only when the tool has reached the site of the sink choke, can the plumber press the trigger on the plumbing snake and pump out the foreign object. This is the most direct way of solving the problem.
