Drain Issues
Clogged drains are some of the most common plumbing problems plaguing American homes. Prevention is always better than cure when it comes to keeping your drains clean. Never flush large objects, diapers, feminine products or paper towels down your toilet. Similarly, never use your kitchen sink as a trash can. Don't pour grease or shove, coffee grounds, banana peals, tea bags, bones and egg shells down your disposer. Make it habit of regularly running hot water down your drain to keep it clog free. Limit your use of non biodegradable laundry detergent, and use strainer covers to keep your bath tubs and shower drains free of clogs. Clean your strainers regularly.
If you still end up with a clogged drain problem, use your trusty plumber to clean your drain. Every home should have a plunger, one for toilets and another for sinks. With any plunger, remember that results will depend on how much suction you can manage to produce with the plunger. Also, bear in mind, that plungers rarely work with just a few pumps, and you'll have to plunge at least 15 to 20 times with rapid movements to be able to dislodge the clog. When a plunger doesn't seem to help dislodge the clog, use a plumber's snake to clear the drain. A plumber's snake is a flexible apparatus with a handle at one end, and a hook at the other. By turning the handle, you can hook the clog and then remove it from the drain.
It doesn't take much to keep your drains clean, and when you do end up with a clogged drain, a little help from your plunger should be enough to clean the drain. If all these doesn't help however, hire a professional drain cleaning company to remove the clog. We can help you find professional drain cleaning contractors in Anaheim.
