Here are a few of our favorite drain cleaning tips, which we regularly share with our customers.
It doesn't hurt to start cleaning out your drains by hand on a regular schedule. For your shower drain, lift off the drain cover and remove any visible clumps of hair and other debris before it moves its way further down your drain. For your kitchen and bathroom sinks, use a natural remedy of baking soda and vinegar to remove buildup.
If you live with a toddler, you know that they have a habit of flushing anything they can get their hands on down the toilet. Make sure to monitor your child, and don't let them try flushing their favorite toy or blanket down the toilet – unless you want to suffer the consequences.
Over the counter drain cleaners are actually a big no-no. These chemicals are harsh, and when used improperly can let of toxic gases into your home. They also aren't good for your pipes and any delicate gaskets or other rubber parts.
Your garbage disposal can handle a lot of things, but there are still some substances you should never introduce to your kitchen sink. Do yourself a favor and put starchy food scraps in the green waste, and never put hot grease or oils down the drain.
When you need help, don't go to any old person for assistance. Call your professional plumber instead – they have the right tools, the skills, and the knowhow needed to fix your plumbing the first time around.
