Clogged drains are such messy inconveniences that it’s not a surprise that no homeowner likes dealing with them. Luckily, there are a few things you can do to help prevent those pesky clogs from forming in your drains. Even better news is that Kinsley Plumbing Services offers professional drain cleaning in Round Rock, TX to help you get rid of clogs once and for all.
Here is a list of four easy things you can do to keep your plumbing and drains clear of clogs.
1. Refrain from putting grease and debris down the drain
Although it may seem more convenient, do not put used cooking oil down the drain. Grease solidifies when it cools, and this will contribute to drain clogs. Instead, pour used cooking oil in a small container and dispose of it in the trash. Drain cleaning services may be needed if you do have excess grease and debris that ends up down the drain.
2. Put drain strainers
Drain strainers are an easy way to keep unwanted products and debris from ending up in your drains. These are placed over your kitchen sink and will help prevent food particles from going down the drain. You can also place them over the bathtub or shower drains to catch hair and filter soap residue before they accumulate in your drains. What’s great about these strainers is that they can often be installed even without the help of a plumbing or drain cleaning company.
3. Invest in a plumbing snake
Drain snaking should only be done by a professional and never as a DIY project. You can, however, keep a simple drain snaking tool handy for when you accidentally drop an item down the drain. Removing the lodged object will keep it from causing a blockage.
4. Schedule routine drain cleaning services
You don’t have to wait until a clog happens to have your drains cleaned. We can utilize hydro jetting and other drain cleaning methods as a preventative measure against clogs and blockages.
