Tips to prevent drainage problems in the home
Prevention is better than cure. Stay ahead of blockages by taking smart precautions. Here are some practical tips you can start using today:
- Do not pour grease or food scraps into the sink: Grease solidifies and sticks to the pipe wall.
- Use sieves in drains: This catches hair and dirt before it enters the pipe.
- Clean the drain and siphon regularly: Remove this and manually remove any accumulated dirt.
- Have an annual check carried out: An inspection prevents unnecessary blockages in critical areas, such as the main sewer or the bathroom drain.
