If you're ever faced with the unfortunate predicament of a blocked drain, it can be a real headache. But don't worry, there are plenty of things you can do to prevent this from happening in the first place.
If you have a clogged drain, there are a few things you can do to try and unblock it on your own. However, if the drain is completely blocked and you can't figure out how to clear it yourself, it may be time to call in a professional plumber.
Here are five tips:
1. Clear any debris that may be blocking the drain. This includes anything from leaves and branches to old toys and clothes.
2. Check the drainage system regularly to see if any items have fallen down the drain and into the sewage system. If so, take appropriate action to clean up the mess and fix the drainage system as necessary.
3. Make sure your sink is properly draining. Clean out any clogs or build-up with a plunger or auger before calling a plumber.
4. Use garbage disposal that is properly installed and maintained. If there is food or diapers at the disposal, they can eventually block it and lead to problems with drainage.
5. Don't pour grease, oil, or other dirty water down the drain! They will not only this block it quickly, but it can also pollute our waterways.
