Sewer and Blocked Drain Prevention and Solutions
If you are faced with a clogged drain, it can be extremely frustrating. While common, it is important to properly eliminate the blockage so that other areas of your home’s plumbing are not impacted. Most clogged drains are caused gradually by residue left from everyday particles, household cleaners, and products. Food particles that are disposed of in the kitchen sink or hair that falls down the bathroom drain can build up and cause drainage issues. Luckily, most clogs are easily dealt with as long as they are handled in a timely manner. You can avoid clogged drains by using these simple preventative measures:
Install a hair/food catcher in your drains
Never flush paper towels or feminine products
Dispose of food in the garbage
Don’t pour oil, fat, grease or gravy down the drain
Choose liquid soap to reduce build up caused by bar soaps
If you have a clogged drain, try the following methods to get things moving:
Bent wire hanger or small “DIY” drain snake
1/3 cup of baking soda with 1/3 cup vinegar
Wet and dry vacuum suction
Clean u-pipes
Boiling water
