How To Prevent Drain Blockages Drain blockages can be very frustrating. While we offer a very effective
and competitively priced drain clearance service, we want to make sure drain
blockages do not occur regularly, which could lead to expensive repairs. There
are several ways you can prevent drains becoming blocked so frequently.
B and S Pipeline Solutions provide effective drain clearance for all homes and commercial properties. Your drains will always be restored to their original condition, ensuring there are no blockages.
Regular Cleaning It may seem like an obvious task to do, but many homeowners
fail to effectively clean their drains, which can lead to a build-up of oils,
fats and other chemicals. With regular cleaning, this should remove a lot of
the items that could end up blocking your drains in the future. Make sure to
use effective cleaning equipment when cleaning out your drains, to completely
remove any potential issues.
If you fail to effectively clean the drain, it could mean your
drains are still vulnerable to being blocked. Your drain should not be having
liquids such as grease or oil go down it. This means finding cleaning equipment
that is clean and will not cause more problems to your home's drainage.
Check What You Flush Other than human waste and toilet paper, nothing else should
really be going down your toilet. Items such as baby wipes must be disposed of
in a bin and this, along with many other items, will only cause blockages to
your toilet and home.
By being careful what you flush, you can avoid many of the
problems that would be caused by blockages to your toilet and prevent drains
becoming blocked.
Avoid Bad Liquids Similar to considering what you flush down the toilet, make
sure the liquids that go down your shower drains or sinks are not bad for your drainage.
Some items, such as oil and grease, can actually solidify.
This means if you are constantly pouring these liquids down
your drain, it could be damaging your drainage system and starting blockages
further down. These blockages could then build up in the future, so it is
important to dispose of the liquids in a more effective way.
Drains can handle many liquids without any hassle,
such as water or milk. However, you must be careful which liquids you freely
put down the drain, with even cooking oils causing some problems.
Use Sink Plugs Debris can easily go into your plug holes and although this
seems like a minor issue that will cause no damage, it could come back to haunt
you. If different items and debris or food is constantly going down your drain,
it could build up in your drainage system, blocking the drainage of liquids. Only
liquids should be going down your drains.
By making sure all your drains such as showers and sinks
have plugs in them, this can stop a lot of debris from entering your drainage system.
Although some problems are unavoidable and blockages could still occur due to
debris, a filtered plug could prevent a lot of items from entering your drains.
Mesh Screens In addition to sink plugs, mesh screens can also be used. Many
blockages can occur due to hair in your drains. Whether this is pet or human
hair, it can cause major problems when it comes to blockages.
By having mesh screens in use, this will stop any hair from
going into the drains, whilst also being easily to clean and maintain so the
hair can be removed.
