Tips For A Clogged Drain
2
Use Drain Screens

• These are very simple and affordable devices that
  can go a long way in protecting your drains from
  clogs. Drain screens are exactly what they sound
  like screens that cover your drains. They are
  generally made of metal or plastic, and can be
  found in any chain retail, hardware, or home
  improvement store. Simply place the drain screen
  over the drain to block hair and soap scum from
  drains, and be sure to clean the screens
  frequently. Use them in your kitchen, showers and
  anywhere else debris and hair can accumulate in
  your drain.

Boiling Water

• Even if your drains dont become clogged with
  things like hair and other debris, you can bet
  that there is a collection of buildup from things
  like soap scum, water calcium, and other
  substances that grow on each other to form a
  nasty, mucky build up. One of the best and
  easiest ways to clear out this buildup and keep
  drains free and clear of clogs is to pour boiling
  water down your drains once every other week.
  Simply heat a pot of water on the stove to
  boiling and then slowly pour it down each drain
  in your house. This will go along way in
  preventing clogged drains in the future.

Be Watchful

• Even the smallest things, like hairs, sand, and
  food remnants, can work together over time to
  create some major drainage problems. Pay close
  attention to what you are allowing down your
  drain, and use a screen, stopper, and/or drain
  filter whenever necessary. Also, you should never
  pour hot grease down a drain. That grease may be
  in liquid form while it is hot, but it will
  harden when it cools and could very easily stick
  to your pipes and clog your drain. If you have
  kids, keep an eye on them in the kitchen and make
  sure that they know what not to allow down the
  drain.
