3 Easy Steps for Keeping Your Drain Clear

Keeping Drains Clear Prevents Clogs!

Keeping drains clean and clear of foreign debris is important for your plumbing system. Some drains will need to be checked regularly, ie. a bathtub, where hair usually becomes a problem. However, drains can become clogged very easily, and debris should never be dumped down them. A drain is not a trash bin.

4 Easy Steps for Keeping Drains Clear and Clog-Free

Clean Your Drains- Cleaning your drains is a proactive approach in preventing a clogged one. We recommend you rid your drains of hair and debris once a week.

Purchase Drain Covers- Drain covers are a very inexpensive, yet effective way of preventing hair, food and other debris from going down and clogging a drain.

Don’t Put Stuff Down the Drain- Just don’t do it! If you have any doubt whether or not it shouldn’t go down the drain, find another method to get rid of it. Here are some items that should never make their way down your drains:

Grease, fats, & cooking oils
Coffee grounds and tea bags
Feminine Products
Cigarette butts
Fabric softener
Cat litter
Bones and egg shells
Pasta, rice, & breads .
Gum
Label Stickers
Hair
Baby wipes
Paint

Invest in a garbage disposal- It keeps the drain clear of food scraps. No big pieces of food means no clogged pipes. Check out our page on Garbage Disposals HERE for more information.
