Drain Maintenance Tips
Homeowners could probably have the same draining problems in a matter of time and this can be caused by a clogged drain.
A drain system is one of the most overlooked systems in the house. As it is out of sight and out of mind, you can’t just think of it until a problem occurs. Clogged drains may be stressful especially if you’re just waiting for the pipes to be in proper use without doing some fixations or plumbing.
But you just don’t know that a proper and regular maintenance routine is the secret to maintaining your drains right and unclogged. Here are some tips for you not to have a visit from the plumber:
Refrain Some Cooking Grease, Coffee Grounds, Hair, And Soap Scum From Going Down The Drain
Do you ever have regular experiences of putting down the things mentioned above in your drain? If yes, you probably just started the small problem of a clogged drain.
Excessive solid wastes that are put down into your drain may cause the drain to clog after a long period of time. The usage of water as a remedy in this problem is a small impact on what is below the drain.
Cooking grease and coffee grounds may be small but if they’re collected below the drain, they may lead the water to go back to the surface with an unwanted smell or rotted pieces. It is most harmless to collect cooking grease and coffee grounds in an old coffee can or cardboard milk container then dispose of it in the trashcan.
Hair and soap scums that are piled below the floor drain of your comfort room may also lead the water to go back to the surface and flood the floor. It can be useful to use a screen or drain-grate to cover the drain’s opening and minimize problems with hair and soap scum.
Run Hot Water Through Your Sink Every Time After Using It
Food products and cooking ingredients may have a lot of oil and the oil collects on the interior surface of pipes. Hot water keeps oils in food products running down the drain and helps to maintain proper usage of it, so it is helpful to run hot water through the sink after throwing oily products into the sink.
Remember that excess oil and unwanted liquid ingredients can make drains sluggish and lead to clogs. You rather be vigilant in taking care of your drainage system than looking for solutions to every problem every now and then.
Use Vinegar And Baking Soda Regularly In Cleaning Your Drain
Vinegar and baking soda can help to keep kitchen drains clear.
Always remember to prevent drain problems rather than seeking solutions after an unimaginable problem. That can help you have a harmonious and peaceful living in your house.
