Clogged Drain Lines | Keller TX

Clogged drain lines are never convenient, but they are unavoidable; however, preventative actions can be taken so that they occur less frequently. 

Follow these tips to keep your drains clear:

• Don’t discard grease and food in sink drains. Starchy foods are especially bad for disposals
• Cover shower and bath drains with mesh screens
• Discard hygiene products, even ones that claim to be flushable, in the trash.
• Receive regular drain cleaning maintenance 

Regular Maintenance can prevent clogged drains

Leak Geeks provides services for clogged drain lines in Keller TX. Doing your own maintenance can help mitigate the risk of having clogged drains. This is best combined with scheduled maintenance. Using a plumbing snake can help when you find a clogged drain but can also be preventative for clogged drain lines. When plungers aren’t effective, plumbing snakes are a second option. They are effective while leaving the piping intact. Removing buildup early on will help you avoid clogs in the future. When cleaning drains, avoid store bought drain chemicals. Many of these chemicals may help clear drains but can damage your pipes and eventually may require unnecessary repairs. There are several at home hacks for clearing drains that are less harmful. Simply running hot water after using the sink can prevent buildup. 

As you conduct your own maintenance, remember that clogged drains may still occur. Without the proper equipment stubborn clogs may be unsolvable. Calling a professional is a safe and worthwhile investment. If clogs occur frequently, this may be a sign of a more serious problem.
