You should first decide on what type of professional you will need to call in. For a simple clog, you could probably get away with hiring a drain clog contractor. These contractors will be cheaper and are specifically equipped to handle clogged drains. However, bigger problems may require you to hire a plumber.

Make sure that you find local reviews for the contractor before you hire him or her. These reviews will help you get a better understanding of how the contractor operates. If the contractor is known for putting hidden charges on bills, then these reviews will tell you about it.

Make sure that the contractor is willing and able to come out to your home on your time. This is a very quick job and the contractor will not have to spend very much time on it at all. This should provide you with a little extra flexibility with scheduling.

If you live alone, then you may want to consider hiring a drain cleaning company to unclog your drain. These companies routinely run criminal background checks on employees to help ensure your safety during a drain cleaning job.
