No one plans to cause plumbing issues in their house, but life happens! Stopped up drains, clogged toilets, smelly garbage disposals all can be avoided with some daily habits and monthly maintenance.
How to Prevent Clogged Toilets
The simple answer to the clogged toilet is to not clog it up in the first place! Do not flush anything down the toilet other than human waste and toilet paper. Also, take some time to teach kids the proper amount of toilet paper to use so they don’t overdo it. With these two steps and some regular cleaning and leak checks, your toilet should stay in good shape for a long time.
No More Slow Drains
Tired of taking a shower standing in water? Here are some tips on what you can do to prevent your drains from getting sluggish:
- Clean the stopper or drain cover once a week to get rid of debris and hair
- Use baking soda with some vinegar to help with odor to break up any sludge
- Consider a mesh screen cover to keep hair out of the drains
- Brush hair prior to shower to remove loose hair
Remember, your drain is not a garbage can, so just being aware of that can help.
