Drain Issues
Clogged drains can occur when something that has no place in your drain finds its way there. For this reason, keeping your drains clean can be as simple as making sure not to shove undesirable things down your drains. Never shove bones, egg shells, banana peels, coffee grounds, grease and other objects down your garbage disposal. Avoid flushing sanitary products and diapers down your toilet, and keep your shower and tub drain covered with strainers to catch soap residue, body oils, stray hairs etc. Keep your strainers clean and free from debris. Run hot water down your drains at least once a week.
If you do end up with a clogged drain, you can use your trusted plunger to clean your drain in an emergency. The inexpensive plunger is an extremely important plumbing tool to have in every home. The main aim with using a plunger is to create enough suction by pushing the cup against the drain, and pulling it up again. Remember to cover other drain outlets before you use a plunger. You may need to plunge at least a few times to dislodge the clog. Plungers can be used to remove clogs from blocked toilets, kitchen sinks and bathroom shower drains. In case your plunger doesn't work, try using a drain cleaning snake to hook the clog, and fish it out of the drain.
Prevention is the best method of keeping your drain clean. Avoid excessive amounts of non biodegradable detergent, never flush diapers and paper towels down your toilet and use strainers on all shower and bathtub drains, and you can keep clogged drains at bay.
