Ways To Avoid Hair Clogs

 

Hair, whether shaved or trimmed or simply showered, can fall off and create clumps that accumulate over time and clog your drain. You wouldn’t want to wait for that to happen! Shaul’s is a local plumbing contractor in Burnaby BC that provides quality plumbing and heating services in Burnaby BC.

 There are things you can do to avoid hair clogs in your bathroom drain. Here’s are some…

1. Cover Your Drain

You may choose to install a top drain screen and an underneath drain screen. These can be purchased at hardware stores.

You may opt to use a small kitchen strainer or a steel mesh screen to cover the drain.

Whatever catcher you want to install, be sure that you clean it every time you see hair on it.

2. Gather Hair Before And During A Shower

Brush your hair, gather any loose hairs, and throw them away before stepping into the shower.

While showering, gather loose hair and pile them away from the drain. Be sure to toss them in the trash after you shower.

If you plan to not wash your hair in the shower, you may cover your head with a shower cap, or simply bun or ponytail your hair.

3. Clean Your Drain Regularly

Rinse your drain weekly by pouring a cup of boiling water down the drain.

Clear hair clogs with your hands. You may want to do this with a pair of rubber gloves on.

If you are not able to handle the clog with boiling water, it’s time for you to call in a plumber to help you fix the drain clog without damaging any surface finish.
