Book Online Now!

A lot goes down those drains. Soap, grease, dirty water, grime, and other things can easily place a stopper in them.

The scary part is that it can happen anytime and usually happens when you are predisposed otherwise!

These signs indicate that your drains need professional plumbing help immediately:

  • Bathtub or sink that drains at a snail’s pace
  • Drains that stink
  • A decrease in water pressure
  • Standing water in sinks, toilets, showers, and tubs.

Sewer or drain clogging problems are easily solvable as long as you have the right help on your side.

How to Prevent Drain Clogging or Stoppage?

Arizona homes are susceptible to the problem, but preventing or delaying clogged drains is possible.

For starters, don’t use your home’s drains as garbage chutes. Do not flush diapers, paper towels, or other large objects down the toilet. Instead, dispose of them properly. This stands true for the kitchen sink; the coffee grounds, tea bags, bones, eggshells, etc., belong in the garbage disposal.

Use the drain strainer covers in the shower, kitchen, and elsewhere. There is a possibility of things going down the drain. Clean these strainers every few weeks and run hot water down the drains to keep them clog-free.

The DIY Guide To Fixing Slow Drains!

If slow drains are a recent issue at your home, you can try out a homemade drain opener that can clean the drains. Here’s how it goes:

  • Pour half a cup of baking soda down your drain. Don’t worry if it doesn’t go all the way.
  • Now dump half a cup of white vinegar in the drain. You may see some fizzing action. It’s expected!
  • Then pour a kettle full of hot, boiling water down the drain.
  • Give it a few minutes, and then turn on the faucet to check if the drain’s working as it should.

This should help you fix kitchen and toilet drains that are slower than usual. You can call professional plumbers for a more robust and longer-lasting fix.

The Importance Of Getting Clogged Drains Fixed Promptly

Remember, a drain clog can slow down your drains and disrupt your home’s entire plumbing system, cleanliness, and peace! Therefore, severe clogs require professional attention. Unfortunately, ordinary people don’t have the tools, expertise, and experience to deal with it as the pros do. Strong drain cleaners are available in the market, promising to open the clogs quickly. But unfortunately, drain cleaning chemicals can damage old drains and pipelines. Furthermore, that chemical damage increases the chance you’ll experience drain-related troubles ten-fold!
