The drain plays a
major role in your home’s sanitation. After all, cooking and dishwashing are
easier when your drain is fully functioning. It is no wonder, then, that a
clogged drain is among the most dreaded problems in any household.
Some of the most
common materials that clog your drain include grease, food, and paper. Most
drains have strainers to prevent foodstuff and particles from falling directly
into the drainpipe. However, these strainers cannot fully catch grease and oil,
which is why they have to be disposed of in a different way. Grease and oil
must be collected in a separate container and thrown into the bin.
In case you fail to
prevent clogging, there are simple things you can do before phoning a plumber. For
partial clogging, one that still makes water sink except very slowly, pour
baking soda and vinegar down the drain. These substances can dislodge any
hardened material that clinging onto the pipe surface and causing clogging.
For clogging that
involves back-ups, the problem may have a more serious cause. It’s very likely
that the clogging occurs deep down the system. Professional plumbers can trace
the root cause of such a problem and fix the issue once and for all.
