Drain Cleaning Services in Conshohocken, PA

Plenty of ways to help keep your water pipes and drains clear from grease, grime, and other gunk that can block them up. Follow these 7 tips:

1. Invest in a grease trap for your kitchen sink: A simple mesh addition to your sink can stop lumps of grease from sliding into the drain and clogging your pipes.
2. Similarly, see if you can add a lint catcher on your washing machine hose: Some washing machines have this built-in, but if not, pieces of lint and tissue can cause blockages in your drain.
3. Don’t empty grease, fat, or oil down the sink: Hot oil is runny and pours away easily, but as soon as it cools, it becomes a clog risk. Put it in a container and throw it in the trash instead.
4. Clean shower drains of hair immediately: Hair is a primary cause of bathroom drain blockages and clogs that form later in the plumbing system. Pick up loose hair and dispose of it in the trash as soon as you notice it to prevent it from washing away down the pipes.
5. Don’t wash grouting or cement down your drain: If you’re passionate about DIY, you might regularly do cement or grout work. Make sure you clean buckets into a separate container to avoid an inadvertent cement buildup in your drain.
6. Clean your pop-up-stopper — if you have a clog stopper in your sink that catches hair and other debris, take it out and clean it regularly.
7. Call professionals at the first sign of a clog — trying to fix a clog yourself can lead to damage or a worse blockage.
