Minor clogs in sinks, tubs, or shower drains caused by hair, grease, or soap buildup can usually be handled by an experienced handyman. However, if you’re dealing with repeated backups, foul odors, multiple clogged drains at once, or sewage backup, it’s best to call a licensed plumber. These symptoms could indicate a larger issue like a blocked sewer line or collapsed pipe, which requires specialized knowledge and permits to fix.

• How many years of experience do you have with drain cleaning?
• What tools or techniques do you use for clogs?

Yes! Here are a few effective DIY drain cleaning methods:

• Boiling water: Great for minor grease build-up.
• Baking soda + vinegar + hot water: Let it sit for 15–30 minutes, then flush.
• Manual plunger: Especially effective in kitchen and bathroom sinks.
• Drain snake or wire hanger: Useful for pulling out hair and debris from shallow clogs.

If these fail after 1–2 attempts, avoid chemical drain cleaners (which can damage pipes) and call a handyman.

Choose a handyman who uses non-invasive techniques first, such as manual snaking or compressed air tools. Ask if they’re familiar with pipe materials used in your home (PVC, copper, galvanized steel, etc.) and whether they inspect the drain before proceeding. A trustworthy handyman will always assess the situation before using high-pressure solutions or disassembling fixtures and will inform you of any risks beforehand.

Start from the top and work your way down:

• Ceiling and walls (remove cobwebs, wipe down tiles)
• Mirrors and cabinets
• Shower and bathtub (use descaler or vinegar solution)
• Toilet (inside bowl, outside base, flush handle)
• Sink and countertop
• Floor (sweep, then mop with disinfectant)
