Nothing is more frustrating than a stopped up drain. If your kitchen sink is clogged up it stops pretty much everything. Since the kitchen sink is among the most commonly used sinks in your home preparing food and washing dishes can be tricky with a stopped up drain. If you ever get a clogged shower drain it can also be aggravating. When the drain is completely stopped up you will not be able to use the shower whatsoever. If the shower is emptying little by little your feet will be covered with water and soap scum will build up on the floor. If you wish to avoid the drains from being blocked you can find a few actions to take.
The main blunder 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 into 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 screen over the drain. They are really cheap and work quite well.
Under sink garburators are a familiar appliance now. But when you throw the wrong stuff down there difficulties arise. Most food waste will go down the disposal very nicely but there are some things you cannot put through it. Eggshells seeds meat and similar stuff. This will prevent the garburator from disabling.
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. If it is not bio-degradable do not flush it.
You can call 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 a drain. They can clear any type of clog out of any household drain.
You can try clearing the drain yourself but please remember of the dangers of chemical drain cleaners. These products do work on some clogs but in many cases they can start decomposition and cause problems down the road.
You can try putting some baking soda down the drain followed by the same quantity of of white vinegar and let it stand for ten or fifteen minutes. After that chase it with hot water and let that stand for some time. This should clear things up if the clog was not too-too bad. If that does not clear things up then you will most likely need to call a local plumber.
