Temecula Plumber - Drain Cleaning

     With a variety of different drains throughout your house, each one will create different debris that will eventually cause clogs.  Bathroom sink and shower drains are known for build up of hair and soap residue. Kitchen drains build up food and grease deposits.  Toilets can clog and accumulate calcium deposits. Area drains (storm) can fill with mud and roots.  Mainlines can trap paper and products flushed down the toilet and can also have tree roots issues. In this article, I will discuss some simple techniques that can help prolong the life of your pipes and drains and prevent these issues. 

     Each time a sink, shower, or tub drain is used, generally, soap, hair, toothpaste, etc., accompany the water down the drain.  Over time, this residue builds up and slows the drain.  Once the drain is clogged, now there is usually no way around having to disassemble the drain and snake it to clear the stoppage points.  Using acids and products down it usually don’t work and re just a waste of money! 

     There are a few things that can be done before this point that can help prolong the the life of your drains and minimize the frequency of these problems:

1. Be mindful of hair getting in the drain.  Men, when they shave. Ans women, when they comb their hair.
2. Fill up your sink with hot water, then pop the drain.  Do this a few times a week.
3. Get a bottle of drain cleaner and pour a little bit once every two weeks.
4. If you are savvy enough, remove your pop up in a lavy sink and clean it once a month.
