One of the best ways to avoid blockages is to know what is causing your drain clogs. Keep your kitchen sink flowing freely by properly disposing of fats, oils, grease, and food scraps rather than letting them go down the drain. Bathroom sinks frequently get blocked by toothpaste that solidifies and impairs the water flow in your pipes. Prevent this by running hot water post-brushing to ensure your pipes remain toothpaste-free. Hair is often the culprit behind blockages when it comes to bathtubs and showers. Prevent these pesky clogs by installing a hair trap and cleaning it routinely.
How Often Should You Get Your Drains Cleaned? 
The frequency of drain cleaning may vary depending on your specific situation and usage. We generally recommend having your drains professionally cleaned at least once a year. This cleaning helps prevent the buildup of debris in your pipes. If you notice any warning signs of a clogged drain, we recommend contacting us for a drain cleaning service sooner rather than later. Regular plumbing maintenance can help extend the lifespan of your plumbing system and save you from costly repairs in the future.
