A plumber’s helper, commonly known as a plunger, is a tool used to clear clogs in drains, toilets, and sinks. It works by creating a vacuum seal over the drain opening, allowing for the buildup of pressure that helps dislodge blockages and restore flow. Plungers come in various designs, including cup plungers (for sinks) and flange plungers (for toilets), each suited to different applications. Regular use of a plumber’s helper can help maintain clear drains, reduce the risk of major clogs, and prevent the need for more invasive plumbing repairs.
