Clogs are a routine annoyance in home plumbing, and people often use “routine” methods to try to unclog them. Sometimes a plunger or simple drain auger can clear a stopped up drain, but just as often these methods leave behind part of clogging material, making it easier for the clog to come back. Chemical drain cleaners are actually unhelpful—they may clear a way through a clog, but most of it will remain.
