How to Keep Your Drains Flowing

Let’s face it: no one likes to interrupt their schedule to deal with a clogged toilet. With some mindfulness and proactive habits, you won’t have to! Here are some well-known secrets:

• ONLY flush toilet paper, pee, and poo. Everything else goes in the trash! That includes wet wipes, paper towels, hygiene products, and EVERYTHING else.
• Brush your hair before jumping in the shower.
• Use liquid soap rather than bar soap.
• Do NOT pour used fats, oils, and greases down the kitchen sink.
• Do NOT over-rely on the garbage disposal. Keep fibrous, hard, and absorbent foods OUT of the kitchen sink.
• Rinse drains with hot water after heavy usage.
• Have the drains thoroughly cleaned once every couple of years!

These simple tips can allow you to enjoy a prolonged peace of mind. Still, accidents happen. For instance, your child might test to see if they toy can swim – or flush! In that case, Mr. Rooter Plumbing is ready to help.

DIY Drain Cleaning: Things to Consider

Many homeowners and business owners have a plunger ready for when the drains clogged. Some even have drain snakes or chemical drain cleaners. However, plungers and drain snakes don’t necessarily CLEAN the drains. They roughly clear the drain, but they tend to leave residual debris that acts as a starting point for the very next clog. Moreover, they are reliable for shallow clogs, not deep ones.

As for chemical drain cleaners, we do NOT advise them. Harsh chemicals found in these cleaners can end up doing more harm than good, as they can corrode fixtures and pipes.
