Tips to Keep Your Drains Clean in 2021

Hiring a good plumber and using one of the best drain cleaners 2021 will go a long way in keeping your drains clean.

Tips to Keep Drains Clean

Here are essential tips on how to keep your drains clean.

Clean the Drains Monthly

To ensure that your drains do not get blocked, make sure that you set a date to clean them every month.

You can clean them by first removing the hairs and other debris that you can reach, then pouring the drain cleaner into the drain.

After that run hot water down each pipe to flush out the dirt. When you do this, your pipes are unlikely to clog.

Remember to have a plumber every couple of months to check out your drains as corrosion in the pipes can build up and block them.

Keep Grease and Oil Away

To ensure that your drains do not clog, do not pour oil and grease into your sink before doing the dishes.

That is because after a while grease and oil harden and block your pipes. Make sure that you store all leftover oil and grease in a container and throw it in the garbage.

Install Stainers

Drains have to deal with a lot of solid pieces such as hair, soap, food particles, and other shower and kitchen debris.

Consider installing strainers in your drainers to sieve out these solids, and then will only have to clean them periodically.

It will also ensure that you do not have to use the plunger very often as plunging is tiring work.

Do Not Use Harsh Chemicals 

Harsh drain cleaning chemicals can damage pipes, and it is therefore not advisable to use them on your drains.

The best drain maintenance product for your plumbing system is good for the environment and is enzyme-based. It will clean out your drains without corroding the pipes and causing further damage.

Use A Drain Snake

When your drains become slow, you can use a drain snake to clean the areas your plunger cannot reach.

A drain snake will help you scoop out hard-to-reach materials that would have caused a clog.

That noted, make sure that you are careful when using a drain snake as you could easily puncture the pipe and cause a bigger problem.

Call a Plumber for Annual Checking

Make sure that you have a plumber inspect and clean your pipes once every year. The inspection will ensure that problems are spotted and corrected early.

The plumber will also be able to give the drains a thorough cleaning because he is trained and has the right tools.

Use the above tips and the best drain cleaners 2021 to keep your pipes clean and clog-free. If you detect problems in your drains make sure that you call an expert immediately.
