There is nothing more frustrating than a stopped up drain. If your kitchen sink is plugged up it stops pretty much everything. Making supper or doing the dishes is not possible with a blocked-up sink. Another one is when the shower drainage gets blocked with hair making it unpleasant to shower with water on the shower floor. Having a slow draining shower your feet are in a puddle and soap scum clings to your feet. To stop it from occurring listed here are a few things you can do to avoid a predicament.
The main mistake people make in the kitchen sink is pouring grease down the drain. Grease can develop in the pipes and when it cools it will solidify choking off the drain opening. It may seem like a bother to drain the grease into a jar and throw it in the trash but its worth it over time.
A drain screen is an inexpensive way to prevent the shower drain from clogging up with hair. This will catch the hair and when you are done you can clean the screen.
Under sink garburators are a common appliance now. But when you throw the wrong stuff down there difficulties arise. While there can be plenty of things that can go down the disposal you should steer clear of the following. Eggshells seeds meat and related stuff. This will prevent the garburator from shutting down.
Soft tissues and toilet paper are fine but larger items should not get flushed. A few examples of these items include baby wipes disposable nappies paper towels and band-aids. Anything that is not eco-friendly should not go down the toilet.
You can ask a plumber to fix a clogged drain. They can use a power auger or even high pressure water to flush and clear everything that could potentially clog the drain. When you have this service carried out it will blast out anything that was blocking your drain.
You can try clearing the drain yourself but please be aware of the risks of chemical type drain cleaners. These products will work on some clogs but oftentimes they can start decomposition and lead to further problems down the road.
A good do-it-yourself solution is to use sodium bicarbonate and vinegar in equal parts poured down the drain and let stand for 15 to 20 minutes. Then pour steaming 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 great you will have to call a plumber for help.
