How To Prevent Your Drains From Clogging
Have you ever experienced a clogged drain? It’s stressful isn’t it? Majority of people have experienced a clogged drain at least once in their life time. The good news is that there are actually a couple of things that you can do so that you never have to go through the stress of a clogged drain again. Today we will teach you how to prevent your drains from clogging.
The first thing you need to do to prevent your drain from clogging is to never allow for food residue to fall down the drain. When you let food scraps go down the drain the food scraps will begin to block the passageway for water, hence you will have a clog. Purchase a drain strainer if you need to this way no food will slip into the drain.
Other than not allowing for food to fall down the drain, you need to keep a close eye out for grease too. Never pour grease down the drain as this will only make things go from bad to worse. Oil will get stuck to the pipe, and then a clog will occur. Instead of getting rid of the grease by pouring it down the drain, dispose of it any other way- - throw it down the trash bin!
If you have done any of the above mentioned, don’t worry, you can still redeem it. To clean the drains from the past grease and food that you have dropped down the drain, boil some water. Once you have boiled the water, pour it down the drain. The hot water will dissolve all fat residue that has accumulated. If you want a more through cleanse of your pipes, then add a bit of baking soda.
In all, prevent clogged drains by not pouring grease and not throwing food. If your drain is clogged already, talk to our plumbers from JMC Valley Construction.
