Drains in your home can become clogged with various substances, causing inconvenience and potential damage. At Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Savannah, we offer comprehensive residential drain cleaning services to ensure all types of drains in your home are working effectively. Our services cover the following types of drains:
- Kitchen Drains - Food particles, grease, and oils can easily clog your kitchen drains. Our experts advise against pouring any grease or oil down the kitchen sink and suggest avoiding fibrous vegetables, meat, or bones in your garbage disposal.
- Bathroom Drains - Soap, toothpaste, hair, and other debris can cause clogs in your bathroom drains. Installing a drain cover in your bathtub and bathroom sinks can prevent hair from going down the drain. We also suggest running hot water while brushing your teeth to prevent toothpaste from hardening in the pipes.
- Floor Drains - Floor drains are commonly found in basements, laundry rooms, and garages, and can easily become clogged by dirt, dust, leaves, or other debris. Clogged floor drains can cause damage to your home's flooring, so it's essential to have them cleaned regularly.
Tips for Clearing Minor Drain Clogs
While major drain clogs require professional attention, there are a few things you can do to clear minor clogs before calling for help. However, if these tips don't work or you're not comfortable doing it yourself, contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Savannah for expert drain cleaning services. If these methods don’t work, don’t force them. Contact our team or professionals to avoid causing further damage to your pipes. Here are some tips to try:
- Boil a pot or kettle of hot water and carefully pour it down your slow-draining sink to clear clogs caused by fats or oils.
- Schedule regular drain inspections and cleanings to help prevent clogs from forming in the first place.
- Use a plunger and a snake to relocate and remove the clog.
- Dispose of the clogged material in the trash to prevent additional clogs.
