How To Prevent Hair From Clogging Your Drains

Did you know that hair is one of the main causes of blocked drains? This is why your shower often clogs, or you might have a clogged bathroom sink. Fortunately, there is an easy solution to avoid this. Our experts recommend installing a screen over your drain that will collect the hair before it has a chance to go down your drain and form a blockage. Every week or so, you just remove the collected hair to keep the screen working correctly.

If you need help installing a screen, or have other questions about clogs, call our experts at PHD Mechanical Inc.

Drain Cleaning Methods You Can Do Regularly

Our plumbers recommend having your drains professionally cleaned at least once a year. While this will help remove buildup and eliminate small clogs, there are other methods you can do on your own more frequently:

Clean your drains once a week by removing the stopper and taking out any debris in the drain. This can help you remove hair before it moves down the drain.

Flush your drains weekly by filling your tub with hot water and draining it. For showers, run the hot water for a few minutes after every shower.

Perform a deep clean on your bathtub once a month by removing the overflow plate and popping up the stopper to remove debris and rinse out the parts.

Performing these services regularly will help avoid major blockages that need hydro jetting or sewer jetting to remove.

How Do You Get Rid of Smelly Drains?

Is there a foul odor coming from your drains? The best way to treat this is to schedule drain cleaning services or sewer drain services with a professional sewer cleaning company to remove any buildup or clogs.

Other ways you can eliminate the odors are:

Pour building water down the drain. This can flush out minor blockages. You can also add some lemon juice to the water.

Use baking soda and vinegar. If you have a tough blockage you can pour baking soda down your drain, then follow it with vinegar. Finally, wash it down with boiling water. This can help remove any residue in your drains.

Put citrus rinds down the garbage disposal and turn it on. This can help remove the odor.

Put ice cubes down the garbage disposal to help clean out your disposal.
