How to Prevent another Clogged Drain
Now that you have gotten rid of that nasty clogged drain you want to make sure it doesn’t happen again. Here are some ways to prevent another clogged drain from occurring.
Place Strainer over Drain
Place some kind of strainer or cover over your drain that will still allow water to flow through while keeping anything bigger out of your drain. Items like these can be found at your local grocery or hardware store. Just ask around.
Do NOT pour anything that has sticking potential down your drain.
This includes cooking grease, butter, paint, and anything that can dry and stick to your drain. These are some of the main culprits causing clogged drains.
Pour boiling water down your drain.
Pouring a pot of boiling water down your drain can take out many things that could build up on your drain walls. Grease and other drain cloggers can be removed by some hot water. Once a month for the boiling water is enough to help prevent many clogged drains.
Baking Soda is a GOOD idea.
If boiling water isn’t enough to satisfy your clog preventing urges, you can also add some baking soda to the boiling water. This can further remove any time bombs that may be ticking on the walls of your drains
