Why do drains get blocked?

1.Falling of hairs and debris on drain pipes

2. Grease and Fats from Kitchen washes

3.Toiletries

In fact, prevention is always better than cure. So, learn how to look after your drains and following these 5 tips on preventing blocked drains:

1. Hot Water Flushing

Hot water flushing is a simple yet very useful method which helps to break down grease and gunk. Cold water usually tends to bind up the materials that make clogs worse. That is why you can flush hot water down your drains for about a minute to clear any build-up that has already happened. You can do this approximately once a month just make sure to use hot water instead not boiling water.

2. Use a Drain Protector

In most of the cases, hair and debris cause the drain blockage. The hole pattern in drain protector allows water to drain around and neatly covers tub drains to catch hair and debris.  The rim keeps the Bathtub Drain Protector in place and prevents it from sliding around. Thus, these handy devices will catch the vast majority of hair and debris, before it goes into your drain. For best results, clean your drain protector properly.

3. Install a Lint Catcher on Your Washing Machine pipe

Lint catchers on your washing machine hose are used for filtering out the Lint, bits of fabric, facial tissue and even the occasional sock. Sometimes they can sneak through your washer’s drain hose and cause trouble in your drain. Filtering out the lint is helpful because it keeps the pipes from getting clogged and keep this stuff from plugging your drain. Furthermore, one thing about these lint catchers is that they can only be used on machines that empty into a sink and not directly into drainage hose in the wall or floor.

4. Collect Grease, don’t Dump it

Grease is one of the worst things you can pour down in your drains. Dumping cooking grease down your drain can have negative effects. Warm grease will run down for a while but once it cools down in the pipe it forms a clog. These deposits become bigger and can eventually lead to an unwanted clog. Better collect the grease and throw it into the trash when it gets full.

5. Use a Bacteriological Drain Cleaner

Add the Bacteriological Drain Cleaner to your drains. It will consume organic matter which helps prevent clogs in the drain. These bacterial cleaners are better for the environment and it won’t harm pipes. By adding Bacteriological Drain Cleaner occasionally, it will:

  • Breaks down sticky surfaces
  • Absorbs foul odours
  • Works as a cleaning agent

Take care of your drains by making these simple changes that will prevent clogs in your drain.
