The drains in your home all perform the same function but are unique in their way. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Kansas City has extensive training in servicing all types of drains. We understand the clogging culprits of most drains. Your bathroom drains often get clogged with hair, soap, and toothpaste. We suggest installing drain covers to help collect hair and debris. You can also run hot water when you brush your teeth. The drains in your kitchen get clogged with oil and grease. It’s important to avoid putting oils and grease down your sink because they will harden inside the pipes. A garbage disposal cannot handle large pieces of meat or bones. Many homeowners have floor drains in their garages, basement, and laundry rooms. These drains are filled with dust and dirt. It’s essential to regularly clean them to keep debris from clogging the floor drains.
Drain Unclogging Tips
You can attempt to unclog minor issues on your own. We offer simple unclogging tips, including the following:
- Prepare a pot of hot water as your sink begins to drain. Boiled water will help clear hardened oils and fats. Pour boiling water into your drain.
- Attempt to use a drain snake and plunger to unclog the clog. Plunge the sink and then use the drain snake to pull out the debris. Properly dispose of the debris.
- Contact our service professionals if these steps do not work. We understand a drain snake cannot unclog debris that is too deep.
