Here are some suggestion, that you can use, to prevent drain problems from occurring:
To avoid a clogged sink drain:
- Never pour grease down the drain. Always wipe a greasy pan well, with a paper towel before washing the pan. Then throw the paper towel in the trash.
- Don't drain the liquid of canned seafood down the drain. Even if it is packed in water, fatty fish such as salmon and sardines, leave too much fat in the water. This would eventually clog the drain.
- Don't put fibrous vegetables such as celery or tough stemmed leafy greens through your garbage disposal.
- Do not flush feminine products, or baby wipes, even if the package says it is okay to do so.
To avoid a clogged shower drain:
- If you have long hair and it starts to block the grate over the drain, unscrew the grate and pull the grate up gently. Sometimes the hair will be attached to a larger amount of hair, that is starting to block the drain. You may be able to pull the whole clog up in one piece.
To clear an already slow or clogged drain:
- Avoid using drain cleaners made with harsh chemicals. These are harmful to your health, your pipes, and the environment. Instead, try an enzymatic type of drain cleaner.
To prevent a blocked sewer:
- When planting trees on your property, make sure that you know where your sewer line is. To avoid blockages caused by tree roots, don't plant trees above or near your sewer pipe.
