clogged drains
One of the best ways of preventing sluggish or obstruc
ted drains is to be careful about what you place in them
. Cooking oil, espresso beans, hair, and soap scum are
four of drain’s greatest foes. Do something you can to
avoid bringing any of these things into a drain. Good
habits
and simple maintenance can assist forestall those drea
ded clogs. Here’s how: (Alternatively, you can

plumbing services in Glendale )
Secure cooking grease in an old coffee can or bottle
of cardboard milk. Instead, chuck it into the garbage.
Wash the hair before you take a bath or a shower.
This process removes loose hair and prevents the
drain from becoming obstructed. Place a washcloth
over the drain if you have to bathe your dog in the
tub or shower.
Fluid oil is poured into a sealable container. Place it in
the trash after it cools, or get it to a reusing emphasi
s.
Hold hair and soap scum out of sinks in the shower.
Cover the hair catcher with mesh cover or a
perforated shower drain over your tub and shower
drains. Either one gathers hair and lets it flow
through mud.

HERE ARE SOME TIPS TO
PREVENT CLOGGED DRAINS
Run hot water through the sink after each
use In food products, hot water keeps oils ru
nning down the drain, rather than building up
on the inner surface of the pipes, which can
make drains sluggish and cause clogs.

05
Throw a handful
of baking soda
into the drain
Baking soda is a fantastic cleaning agent, so
removing foul odors and leaving your drain
pipes smelling like a rose, is great too.
Okay, maybe not like a rose but much better
than they would otherwise.

06 Catch Hair before it
reaches the Drain
The hair and soap mix in your tub or shower drain to produce
clogs that may eventually require a drain snake to clear off.
But you can avoid mission by catching the hair before it
reaches the sink.
POP-UP STOPPER
The pop-up stopper is a hair trap,
dental floss and other yucky stuff
on your bathroom lavatory. The
pop-up stopper on your bathroom
lavatory is a hair charm, dental floss
and other yucky stuff.
COLLECT YOUR FOOD
WASTE
It’s easy to grind food in a dispenser
and send it down the drain, but it
can clog drains. Gathering your
organic waste in a container and
adding it to a compost pile is a
better idea.
FLUSH YOUR DRAINS
Toilets and low-flow roofs are great
for water savings but not so good for
keeping drains dry. The lower
volume of water often doesn’t take
debris away, but leaves it in your
pipes to accumulate.

07
DON’T USE THE TOILET
AS A WASTEBASKET
It is tempting to pour into the toilet all sorts of
personal care products. There is a big drain
hole, after all, and the stuff usually goes down
okay.
But just because the dental floss goes down
the drain of the toilet does not mean that it is
going to make it to the main sewer. It’s
possible something in your pipes will get
snagged and starts a clog.
