How to Keep Your Drains Clear and Flowing Smoothly All Year Round
Clogged drains are one of those annoying plumbing issues that always seem to happen at the worst possible time. Whether it’s the kitchen sink backing up during dinner prep or a slow-draining shower, homeowners in Roseville know how frustrating it can be. Luckily, keeping your drains clear isn’t hard when you know what to look for — and when to call the experts at The Plumbing Pros.
1. Be Careful What Goes Down the Drain
The easiest way to prevent clogs is to be mindful of what you put into your plumbing. Avoid pouring grease, oil, or coffee grounds down the kitchen sink. These substances harden and collect debris, leading to stubborn blockages. In the bathroom, hair and soap scum are the main culprits — so consider using a drain strainer to catch them before they cause trouble.
2. Use Hot Water Regularly
Running hot water down your drains once a week helps break up light buildup before it becomes a problem. For kitchen sinks, mix a bit of baking soda and vinegar first, then flush with hot water to help clean the pipes naturally.
3. Watch for Early Warning Signs
A slow drain, bad smell, or gurgling noise means there’s a partial clog forming. Addressing it early can prevent a major backup later.
4. Avoid Chemical Drain Cleaners
While tempting, store-bought chemical drain cleaners can damage your pipes over time — especially in older Roseville homes. They can also be harmful to the environment. Instead, try a plunger or call The Plumbing Pros for safe, professional drain cleaning.
5. Schedule Regular Maintenance
Just like your car, your plumbing benefits from routine care. The Plumbing Pros can perform professional drain inspections and cleanings to keep your plumbing system healthy and clog-free.
Final Tip:
If your drains are acting up despite your best efforts, don’t wait for a full blockage. The Plumbing Pros in Roseville can quickly diagnose and clear any issue, restoring flow and peace of mind — before it turns into an expensive repair.
