Quelle: CHIP (Glomex)
Your drain is making annoying noises? Act sooner rather than later, this can quickly become a big problem. We reveal how to clear the drain in this video. A gurgling drain may seem harmless, but it is often a sign of an impending blockage. With simple measures, you can usually fix the problem yourself and prevent major damage. We'll tell you what's causing it and how to effectively counteract it. The gurgling is caused by air bubbles forming in clogged pipes - often caused by food scraps, hair, or grease. First aid can be provided by home remedies such as baking soda and vinegar: Add half a cup of each to the drain, wait 15 minutes, and flush with boiling water. A plunger can also clear blockages. If that's not enough, you should seek professional help, especially if multiple drains are affected. Avoid future blockages by not flushing grease, hair, or food scraps down the drain.
