Most clogs build up slowly from everyday habits. A few simple changes can keep your drains flowing.
In the kitchen
Pour grease and cooking oil into a container and throw it away instead of rinsing it down the sink. Scrape plates into the trash, and keep coffee grounds, eggshells, and pasta out of the drain.
In the bathroom
Use a hair catcher in the shower and tub. Flush only toilet paper, and skip wipes, even the ones labeled flushable.
Routine care
Flush drains with hot water now and then to move soap residue along. Harsh chemical drain cleaners can be hard on older pipes, so a plunger or a plumber’s drain cleaning is usually the safer choice.
When it is more than a clog
Slow drains, gurgling sounds, or bad smells in several fixtures at once can mean a problem in your main line. That is a job for a professional. Call The Dallas Plumber at xxx-xxx-xxxx.
