In our everyday lives, no one gives much thought to drains. They don’t take up much space, perform something we can see, nor do they make a noise we recognize such as the microwave’s beep. It’s only when blocked drains require drain cleaning in St. Louis that plumbers wish homeowners knew these two things.
1. Use Mesh Drain Screens
We can’t stop soap scum and the remains of chemical cleaners from getting down the drains. We can stop hair, food particles, and other clogging materials from getting into them. Mesh drain screens cost less than three bucks and stop clogged drains.
2. Don’t Use Commercially Produced Drain Cleaners
Most homeowners reach for chemical drain cleaners when they have a clog. The reasoning is to take care of it themselves. The snag to that is then the pros have to clean what the cleaner couldn’t.
Soap scum, grease, and oils of various types build up on pipes. Whatever comes after that gets caught and can’t wash past the buildup. Chemical drain cleaners might eat away at the clog, but for the most part they, too, sit on top of the clog.
Not only that, but their caustic ingredients eat away at the pipes. Only professional drain cleaning in St. Louis can blast through the clog before the chemicals make holes in the pipes he’ll have to repair. Classic Aire Care wants homeowners to live clog-free, so contact us to learn how.
