    I live in an old house with old, narrow pipes. My mom gave me a great tip for clogged sinks, which I’m so grateful for & will now share with you guys: call Roto Rooter 1st before you call a plumber! They respond quickly, are relatively inexpensive, and have cleared the drain every time I’ve called them (which is 2 or 3 times over the past decade). You still might need a plumber later, but at least your sink works in the meantime. My mom has a kitchen sink that has a section of old narrow pipe in a hard to get at spot, and she has calls Roto Rooter when it backs up every couple years (she says it’s cheaper than having it replaced, lol!)

    Ah this is GREAT advice!! Preventing clogs and frozen pipes are the two most important things in my life!!
