Cleaning & Repairing All Types of Drains
All the drains in your house perform a similar job, although each type is a bit different. Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Saskatoon offers residential drain cleaning services for many types of drains, including the following:
- Kitchen Drains – Washing dishes and cooking results in clogged kitchen drains from food particles, grease, and oils. Do not put any grease or oil down the kitchen sink because these substances can harden in your pipes. You should also avoid putting any fibrous vegetables, meat, or bones down in the garbage disposal.
- Bathroom Drains – Your bathroom drains can easily become clogged from soap, toothpaste, hair, and more. Install a drain cover in your bathtub and bathroom sinks so hair does not get down the drain. While brushing your teeth, run hot water to prevent your toothpaste from hardening in the pipes.
- Floor Drains – These drains can also become clogged relatively easily. Floor drains are often found in basements, laundry rooms, and garages. A floor drain can get clogged by dirt, dust, leaves, or other debris. Clogged floor drains can damage your home’s flooring, so you should be sure to have them cleaned on occasion.
How to Unclog Your Home’s Drains
Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Saskatoon recommends leaving drain unclogging to our professional team, especially if there’s a significant clog, such as one from intruding tree roots. There are a few things you can do to clear a minor clog. Be sure to call us if these steps do not work or if you prefer to leave it to the pros instead of a DIY job.
- Prepare a pot or kettle of hot water for your slow-draining sink. Use hot water to clear clogs caused by hardened fats or oils.
- Carefully pour your hot water into your drain after most or all the water has drained from your sink.
- Schedule regular drain inspections and cleanings to help prevent clogs from forming.
- Use a plunger and snake drain. Use the plunger to relocate the clog to the top of the drain and the snake to pull the clog out of the pipe.
- Throw away clogged material you recover in the trash because flushing it back down the pipe can result in additional clogs.
