How to Unblock a drain?

Introduction

• A blocked drain outside the house is enough to
  send alarm bells ringing.
• To be fair, the fear is understandable because
  when an outside drain is blocked, there is no
  telling what could happen. After all, the outdoor
  drain serves a vital purpose as it is responsible
  for transporting all wastewater and sewerage from
  your house to the main sewer line.
• So, when that gets blocked, all hell can break
  loose.
• But dont press the panic button just yet, or
  frantically call up your friend asking, how to
  unblock a drain pipe or even contact an outside
  drain unblocker service. There is plenty you can
  do to clear blocked drains, DIY among them.

My outside drain is blocked!!

• Before we learn more about how to fix a blocked
  drain, there are a few things youll need for the
  purpose. These include,
• Rubber gloves The drain is not the most
  hygienic of places, a blocked drain even worse
  so. Its as dirty as its smelly, which is why
  you need a good pair of protective rubber gloves
  to keep your hands safe.
• Rope When trying to unblock a drain pipe, a
  rope can be useful to remove the drains cover by
  force.
• Waste bags Plastic carrier or waste bags are
  convenient to store the debris that you take out
  from the drain after unblocking it.

• Drain rod The most important piece of the how
  to clear a blocked drain puzzle, a drain rod is
  very useful to dislodge a blockage and easily
  available with local hardware stores. And while
  you are at it, buy more than one as they might
  prove useful.
• Bleach Once you do the hard part of clearing
  the blocked drains using drain rods, it is time
  to clean the drains as much as possible. Bleach
  is a brilliant outdoor drain cleaner and can
  really freshen up your outside drain.
• Caustic soda Theres no way of knowing if
  your blocked outside drain will need caustic soda
  but keep it nearby anyway. If you dont have
  caustic soda, any chemical drain unblocker will
  do.
• Garden hose A garden hose is useful in any
  cleaning exercise, more so when it is
  your outside drain that we are talking about.
