Mister Sewer Unveils their List of Smart Solutions for a Clog Free Drain

December 3, 2014 - Clogged drains are an annoying, unpredictable problem that proves to be a headache for many homeowners. In worst-case scenarios, the drain backup in your home can cause costly water damage throughout the interior. Luckily, Mister Sewer has released some of their top tips towards keeping your home free of drain clogs and future drain problems in their latest infographic, " Smart Solutions for a Clog Free Drain."

One of the most effective solutions to reducing the amount of clogs in your home is to be more mindful of what you are letting go down the drain. Keeping your drain free of junk can go a long way to preventing the buildup of dirt and deposits that may cause a clog.

The kitchen sink is one of the most common areas for clogs to occur. Help keep your drain clear and avoid pouring coffee grinds, grease, oils and other food waste down your drain. Take your efforts a step further by periodically cleaning your drain after dinner. Running hot water through your drain can help prevent grease build up and hard water deposits. If you are really looking to prevent any potential buildup, try mixing a half-cup of baking soda and a half-cup of vinegar to pour down the drain. Follow up with a cup of boiling water to help eliminate any remaining buildup in your drain.

Another common area for clogged drains is in the bathtub. Every three months, check the bathtub stopper for any hair or grime buildup. Give your bathtub stopper a nice clean and check if the stopper needs to be replaced due to normal wear and tear. Additionally, once a week you should fill your bathtub about half way and then pull out the stopper. The water's weight and volume being flushed through the drain should be enough to clear out any areas of buildup in the system.

One of the most efficient ways to keep your home drain lines free of any buildups or clogs is to hire a drain-cleaning expert to inspect your home. Using a sewer inspection camera and drain cleaning snake, a plumber can help pinpoint any areas of concern in your home and help you prevent any future drain problems.
