Three New Year’s Resolutions to Keep Your Drains in Check
Regularly experiencing problems with your drains can be frustrating to say the least. Whether your kitchen sink takes ages to drain or water backs up out of the drains every time you run the tap, looking after your drains and carrying out the correct maintenance is key. If you constantly find yourself on the phone to the plumber or Googling how to unblock a drain, we’re here to help.
Blocked drains can be caused by a number of things, but there are plenty of ways these issues can be prevented too. Follow our three New Year’s resolutions to keep your drains in check over the coming year.
Avoid putting grease and oils down the sink
When cooking, it’s not uncommon for people to put grease and oil down their sink. However, oil and grease can cause havoc for your drains and lead to big blockages which can be difficult to remove. Instead of disposing of cooking grease and oils down the sink, make sure you put them in the bin instead.
Rinse your drain with hot water
This is a clever old trick that still works wonders. Get into the habit of pouring hot water down your kitchen sink after you’ve used it. This will clear your drains after every use and ensure they’re clear for the next use. Using hot water helps to melt and get rid of any grease or bits of food that may have settled in your pipes.
Address problems right away
We understand how tempting it can be to ignore a problem until it’s too late. However, it’s important you pay attention to any problems with your drains and always get them fixed right away. Whether the water is draining slower and slower down your sink each day or you’ve noticed water slowly backing up out of your sink, it’s crucial you get this checked right away. Catching problems early will reduce the cost of your repair and maintenance bills and ensure your sink and drains remain in top condition.
