How to Prevent a Clogged Drain

Drains almost always get clogged when you need them—when you have to shower for work, have friends over for a barbecue, or when your kids are late for school. It’s an unfortunate part of life that almost everyone encounters at some point. However, we’d like to show you some preventive steps you can take to ensure your drains don’t get clogged again in the future. If they do, call our experienced technicians to fix the issue.

  • Don’t Flush Unflushable Items: Toilet paper is the only non-organic material you should flush down your toilet regularly. Flushing paper towels, wet wipes, or other things can clog the system and back up your toilet. It can even damage the entire sewer system, turning a small annoyance into a costly disaster.
  • Clean Your Drain Stoppers: It is important to regularly clean the drain stoppers in your bathroom sink and bathtub. This can be the most effective way to prevent blockages in your drains. Hair and soapy chunks can get trapped there and cause your drainage to slow down gradually, resulting in complete drain blockage. On your cleaning day, consider paying extra attention to your drain stoppers.
  • Bathing Your Pets: It might be a wise preventative measure to slightly block your drain with a washcloth while bathing your pet. It’s better to bathe your pet outside if possible, but if that is not an option, protecting your drain from excess pet hair and dirt is another viable solution. The amount of hair dogs shed from getting a bath is more than enough to cause a blockage in your drainage system. 
  • Don’t Put Food Down the Drain: Unless your kitchen sink has a garbage disposal system, you should not force bits of food down your drain. If that food is not ground up and disposed of properly, even the smallest amount can cause a serious blockage. You may want to purchase a drain strainer to prevent food from getting into the drain.
  • Avoid Oil and Grease: Pouring oil and grease down your kitchen sink’s drain all but guarantees future blockages. If you need to dispose of oil after frying food, it is advisable to use a sealable container and toss it in the garbage after it has cooled. Grease can stick to the insides of pipes like glue and cause many problems, including blockages and nasty odors.
