Most of us would have faced a
situation, where some water or sewer line of our home is blocked and
water is logging in the kitchen or bathroom area. In such situations
either we have to clear the blockage ourselves using some chemical
products like Trap-clear and in case the situation is bit serious,
then we hire a reputable water and sewer line repair providers to
clear that blockage. Still, none of us ever bothers to figure out the
reasons of such blockages and find some way out to avoid such
problems.
So, let's check out some extremely
useful tips to avoid blockages of water and sewer line in our office
or home-
1) Avoid pouring fatty liquids down the
drain: While washing utensils in the kitchen, it is possible that you
pour some greasy and fatty liquids from food down the drain. As these
greasy liquids may not flow that easily through the drain due to less
viscosity, it may create a blockage in the drain with passing time.
So, it is highly recommended to avoid pouring such greasy liquids
down the drain and prevent unnecessary blockages.
2) Regular cleaning of outlets: There
are many outlets in our house like baths, toilets, and sinks. It may
happen that you may not clean either of these outlets depending upon
the usage or time. The possibility is there that gradually settling
of dirt and hair build-up may block the outlets you are not cleaning
regularly. So, to avoid such unnecessary clogging of pipes and
drains, you should regularly clean all such outlets using good
quality disinfectants available in the market.
3) Keep a check on kids: Kids are very
fond of throwing one or the other thing into toilets and was it away
for fun sake. At their age they do not realize the consequences of
such activities, so they just do it. In such situations, it is quite
possible that they end up to create some serious blockage in any of
the pipes or drains. It becomes the responsibility of all the adults
present in that home to keep an eye on kids and prevent such
activities. In case you miss and the situation seems serious for you,
you can immediately call some team of professionals for cleaning the
pipelines.
4) Avoid chemical products or
detergents: There are various types of cleaning products available in
the market for cleaning sinks and toilets, which contain some harmful
chemicals. They chemical products or detergents not only damage the
pipes but also get clogged on the inner walls of outlets and reduce
the water flow. Instead of using such harmful products it is better
to use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar. This will not only
increase the life of pipes or drains but also save your money.
5) Regular servicing of water and sewer
lines: Once in 6 months, hire a professional water and sewer line
repair provider to clean all types outlets present in your home.
Instead of your regular cleaning and check, there are few things
where you cannot do anything to avoid blockages. For example Growth
of tree roots in pipes. In such situation, #only professionals can
help you in removing tree roots from sewers or drains.
