This is how blocked drains look.

First, we need to figure out what is making your drains stop working.

When foreign objects, such as hair, become lodged or trapped between the drainpipe (from the sink, bath, etc.) and the drainage pipe that follows underneath, this results in a blocked drain. After that, more products like shampoo, detergent, grease, and the like start to build up in the initial blockage. The blockage thickens over time, preventing water or very little water from passing through the drainpipe. This only becomes apparent when the sink, bath tub, shower, and other fixtures begin to rapidly fill up.  Desentupidora esgoto Curitiba

So, how can you clear a clogged drain?

Now, the initial steps that need to be taken to unblock your drains will depend on where it is.

If your blockage is in a bath tub or sink, the first thing you need to do to get the flow going again is clear the passageways. This can be accomplished for the sink by removing the plug, looking under the sink to see if you need to remove a nut that holds the stopper in place, or simply pulling out the plug by the u-bend. For the bathtub, you might just be able to take out the plug, but if that doesn't work, you'll have to take out the overflow plate to get to the assembly.

You can remove the obstruction with your hands if you can see it (make sure to wear gloves to protect your hands). The blockage typically consists of hair, grease, and other foreign objects entwined within the drainpipe. You can use a coat hanger if the obstruction is just out of reach; just straighten it so that there is only a hook on the end. To bring the coat hanger closer to the drain opening and within reach, insert it into the drain and then pull back up once it has reached the obstruction.

If this does not resolve the issue, what will happen?

If you are unable to remove the obstruction manually or with a coat hanger, you should look into other options. The utilization of a plunger is one additional strategy that has been demonstrated to be effective. To ensure maximum suction with the plunger, you should plug the overflow drain before beginning. Now all you have to do is tilt the plunger over the drain access point to get rid of any air that is between it and the drain access point. Move the plunger upward and downward as usual—about 15 times should be sufficient. When you let go of the plunger, the water should drain away.

However, if this doesn't work, you should look into using a chemical drainpipe cleaner that breaks down the blockage. Keep in mind that chemical drainpipe cleaners should only be used as a last resort to avoid further harming the environment and your bathroom fixtures.

It's time to contact a plumber or professional drain cleaner if nothing else works. The only problem is that this solution will cost you money, but you are guaranteed to get the problem fixed quickly. A qualified plumber or drain cleaning expert has the equipment necessary to assess your blocked drains and clear them quickly for you without any hassle.
