Drain Issues

Clogged drains are a fact of life in any home. At some point, your kitchen sink or bathroom shower drain will need to be cleaned to remove drain clogs that obstruct the drain. It's always best to try and avoid clogged drain situations in the first place. Never use sinks and toilets as waste baskets. Do not shove grease down the drain, or flush diapers or sanitary products down your toilet. These are some of the most common causes of clogged drains. Run hot water through your drains to remove any grease that may have began to clog. Take care not to place shells, bones, coffee grounds and other objects into your garbage disposal. Use strainers to cover all bath tubs and shower drains, and keep these clean.

If you do end up with a clogged drain, you can use your trusted plunger to clean your drain in an emergency. The inexpensive plunger is an extremely important plumbing tool to have in every home. The main aim with using a plunger is to create enough suction by pushing the cup against the drain, and pulling it up again. Remember to cover other drain outlets before you use a plunger. You may need to plunge at least a few times to dislodge the clog. Plungers can be used to remove clogs from blocked toilets, kitchen sinks and bathroom shower drains. In case your plunger doesn't work, try using a drain cleaning snake to hook the clog, and fish it out of the drain.

It doesn't take much to keep your drain clog free. Be careful of what you push down your kitchen sink or toilet, use tub and shower strainer covers to catch stray hairs and pieces of soap, and run hot water down your drains regularly. If you find yourself with a clogged drain that you simply can't fix, hire a professional drain cleaner to help clean your drain. We can help you find the best drain cleaning services for your needs.
