If the blockage is further down the pipe, try a garden hose. Insert the hose as far as it will go and turn the water on to full pressure. The force can often dislodge soft clogs like dirt or sand. For stubborn blocks, a specialized pressure washer attachment known as a "drain jetter" is even more effective. 3. Using a Drain Rod

For deeper or more solid obstructions, mechanical force is necessary. Drain rods are flexible poles that screw together. Push the rod into the pipe and rotate it clockwise to break up the mass. Never rotate counter-clockwise, or you risk unscrewing the rod and losing it inside the drain. 4. Chemical and Natural Solutions
