A clogged drain is one of the most inconvenient of all plumbing problems. When your drain is clogged, it usually means an interruption in whatever you are trying to get done while you try to clear your drain. A clogged toilet can cause quite a mess in the bathroom and a clogged kitchen drain means the dishes won’t get done. Worst of all is a clog in your main sewer pipe that may be behind a wall, under a floor, or even underground. You may need a plumber for drain cleaning.
An Ounce of Prevention Is Better Than a Pound of Cure
You’ve heard it before and there’s never a good time to learn the hard way that prevention is your best defense. So what kind of prevention measures you can take to avoid a stoppage in your drain and waste system? Maintenance and periodic drain cleaning are both good prevention measures.
Maintaining a drain and waste system starts with knowing its limitations and taking care not to not to exceed them. In the kitchen, grease and garbage in the drain can cause a stoppage when hot liquid grease hits the cold underground plumbing and solidifies. This can happen slowly or suddenly but it can be prevented by dumping grease with cold water rather than hot water.
Bathroom stoppages are usually caused by flushing the wrong material down the toilet or by clumps of hair that accumulate in the bathtub drain. Know what not to flush and use a drain strainer in the bathtub to catch hair and clumps of soap. When worst comes to worst and you need Drain Cleaning in San Diego, go to a plumber you can rely on.
