A clogged drain can really be frustrating. When the kitchen sink is plugged up it puts a halt to everything. Cooking supper or doing the dishes will be impossible with a plugged-up sink. If you have a clogged shower drain, it can be frustrating. If the drain is completely clogged, you won't be able to use the shower at all. With a slowly draining shower your feet are in a puddle and soap scum will cling to your ankles. To prevent this from happening, here are a few things you can do to avoid a situation.
The biggest mistake that people make in the kitchen sink is pouring grease down the drain. Grease builds up in cold pipes and each time it hardens the opening gets a little smaller. It may seem like a hassle to drain the grease in a jar and throw it in the trash, but its worth it in the long run.
To keep hair from getting down the shower drain and clogging it up you can place a drain screen over the drain. They cost next to nothing and work quite well.
Many people have garbage disposals under the sink. But when you throw the wrong stuff down there problems arise. Most food scraps will go down the disposal very nicely, but there are a few things you cannot put through it. Do not throw the following down the chute, hard seeds like a peach pit, egg shells, meat and surprisingly small seeds can block it completely.
Soft tissues and toilet paper are fine, but larger items should not get flushed. A few examples of these items include baby wipes, disposable diapers, paper towels, and band-aids. Anything that is not biodegradable should not go down the toilet.
Plumbing companies offer drain cleaning services. They have the tools and know-how to un-plug a clogged drain with a plumbing auger of even high-pressure water if needed. When you have this service performed it will blast out anything that was blocking your drain.
If you make one of these common mistakes and your drains do become clogged, you want to avoid using liquid drain cleaners. These products do work on some clogs, but in many cases they can start corrosion and cause problems down the road.
You can try pouring some baking soda down the drain followed by the same amount of of vinegar and let it sit for ten or fifteen minutes. Then pour piping hot water down the drain to soften things up. This should clear things up if the clog was not too-too bad. If there is anything else plugging things up then chances are good you will have to call a plumber for help.
