Step 9 · Flush and Test

Once you believe the clog has been cleared, turn on the hot water tap and let it run for several minutes. Observe if the water drains freely without any signs of backing up. Listen for any unusual gurgling sounds. If the drain is still slow or clogged, you may need to repeat a previous step or try a more aggressive method. If the problem persists, it might indicate a deeper issue requiring professional attention.
