Drain Clog Prevention
If you’re currently dealing with a drain clog, it makes sense to learn some preventative measures you can take, so they don’t become a chronic issue at your home. A few minutes of work can save you all kinds of headaches in the future.
Perhaps the easiest way to prevent drain clogs in Bellevue, Washington, is by putting wire or mesh screens over them. Once these covers are in place, they prevent hair, food particles, and other debris from getting into your pipes and creating an obstruction. It would be best if you emptied the screens every few days, so they don’t prevent water from getting through and entering your drains.
The key to remember is that your drains are meant to take water to the City of Bellevue’s main sewer line, so you want to prevent as much other debris as possible from getting in there.
Another preventative method you can try is simply watching what you put into your drains. Sure, it’s tempting to put grease and oil into your sink and then wash it away with water, but these substances can harden and build-up in your drains, leading to a clog.
The same goes for chunks of food. Even though these particles might fit into your drain, there’s a good chance at least some of this debris will get stuck, eventually causing a clog.
Finally, you could invest in a preventative maintenance service from Hunt’s Services. We can send a plumber to your home every few months to do a quick drain cleaning, ensuring that your fixtures never run into drainage problems in the future.
In the end, a little bit of prevention can save you from significant problems later on.
