Tips to Avoid a Clogged Drain

Prioritize Prevention
Slow or clogged drains are inevitable. Whether the culprit is soap scum, tree roots, or a toddler who has just discovered the joy of cramming things down the toilet, it is rare that a person will go a lifetime without having to deal with a clogged drain.
There are, however, a few things to avoid in order to keep your drains running as smoothly as possible:
- Bar Soaps: Bar soaps often leave residue that, over time, can build up and contribute to slow or clogged drains. To avoid this, consider using liquid soap in your shower and sink instead.
- Food & Grease: Avoid scraping large chunks of food down your sink. Things that absorb water or clump together easily, such as rice or coffee grounds, are common offenders. When cleaning a dish that is coated with oil or grease, be sure to wipe away as much as possible with a paper towel before washing the dish with hot water and grease-cutting dish-soap.
- Paper Products: Never flush paper towels, napkins, tissues, or any kind of wipe—even if the package says it’s OK to flush. Dispose these items in the trash can and be sure that the only paper product going into your toilet is toilet paper.
- Feminine Hygiene Products: Like paper products, feminine hygiene products should always be discarded in the trash. These items are designed to absorb moisture and are bound to lead to a clog.
- Tree Roots: Tree roots can cause serious damage to your pipes and plumbing system as a whole. While this may not be entirely avoidable, there are some things you can do to help prevent this issue. Avoid planting trees close to where pipes run in your yard, and stay on top of leaks, which can attract thirsty roots.
