Clogged drains are not healthy and can cause harmful bacteria to grow inside the lines. Regular drain cleaning will keep a drain clean and healthy, </span><a style="text-decoration: none;" href="https://awesomejelly.com/how-to-avoid-plumbing-problems-in-your-home/"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #1155cc; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; white-space-collapse: preserve;">preventing any major plumbing issues</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space-collapse: preserve;">. If your drains are slow and clogging frequently, you may want to consider a professional drain cleaning service. These professionals will be able to pinpoint the source of the problem and solve it before it escalates. </span></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 12.6728pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0.524287px;"><a style="text-decoration: none;" href="https://academy.educause.edu/eportfolios/12059/Home/What_Does_a_Plumber_Do"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #1155cc; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Clogged drains</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> can be caused by a number of issues. Sometimes, they are due to improper plumbing or dirty water pipes. A plumber will be able to diagnose and solve your problem so that you won't need to deal with a clogged drain for a long time. In some cases, the problem can be solved by removing small debris that might be blocking the drain. </span></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 12.6727pt; margin-right: 0.619995pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0.163839px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Another common drain problem is when the sink doesn't drain properly. This could be caused by hair or other debris that has accumulated in the drain. To clean the drain, you can remove the pop-up used to stop the drain. Often, the pop-up is held in place by a nut under the sink. Remove it using pliers. </span></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 12.6728pt; margin-right: 7.47198pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0.163839px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space-collapse: preserve;">A blocked drain can be very difficult to clear. Sometimes, you can use chemical products or drain zips to fix it temporarily. However, in many cases, you should hire a professional to clear the drain and prevent it from happening again. This way, you can save your money, time, and frustration. A clogged drain may lead to a burst pipe, which is very expensive. </span></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 12.6728pt; margin-right: 1.26398pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0.475133px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space-collapse: preserve;">If you are using hard water, you should consider installing a water softening system to reduce the mineral buildup. You can also use a descaling solution to break up the built-up sediment. However, if you don't have a water softening system, you may have to call a professional plumber. Another common problem is hair or soap clogging your drain. This happens when you shampoo or brush your hair and the hair clumps up in the drain. This can block the drain and cause water to flow slowly. </span></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 12.6727pt; margin-right: 9.89203pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Tree roots are another common cause of </span><a style="text-decoration: none;" href="https://engadget.tech.blog/2023/06/12/two-best-ingredients-to-unclog-a-sink/"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #1155cc; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; white-space-collapse: preserve;">drain problems</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space-collapse: preserve;">. Tree roots search out moisture in the pipes and can eventually penetrate a septic system or sewer line. If there's a small crack in the pipe, tree roots will seek the water source. Once inside, they will eventually make their way into the drain, and block water flow completely. </span></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 12.6728pt; margin-right: 17.408pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0.475133px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Food particles can also cause serious drain problems. These particles can attract critters and pests and can be hazardous to your health. Therefore, you should remove any excess food before flushing it down the drain. Also, try to avoid using too much grease and oil in your drain. Using paper towels to absorb excess oil can help prevent blockages. </span></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-right: 19.4681pt; margin-top: 12.6728pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space-collapse: preserve;">A clogged drain may be causing water to back up into the sink, bathtub, and toilet. This can lead to water damage and expensive repairs. Learning how to repair clogged drains is your best insurance against a plumbing mishap. It also makes it easier to diagnose the problem. You can save money and time by learning how to avoid major problems. </span></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 12.6728pt; margin-right: 34.2462pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0.933884px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space-collapse: preserve;">Before you attempt to </span><a style="text-decoration: none;" href="https://www.skytechosting.com/tips-for-stress-free-workplace-renovations/"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #1155cc; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; white-space-collapse: preserve;">repair a drain</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space-collapse: preserve;">, you should make sure you have the right equipment to do so safely and properly. Ensure that you wear gloves and safety</span></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 0pt; margin-right: 8.73199pt; margin-bottom: 0pt; padding-left: 0.917501px;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space-collapse: preserve;">glasses, and use common sense whenever possible. Remember that plumbing is an essential part of your home, and there are a variety of ways to resolve it. And if you can't find a solution yourself, call a professional plumber. Just make sure to wear safety glasses and use common sense when putting things down the drain. </span></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-right: 7.51605pt; margin-top: 12.6728pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space-collapse: preserve;">A plunger can be used to remove a clog. This tool works for both drains and toilets. The plunger works by applying air pressure to loosen the clog. The plunger should be positioned over the clogged drain and moved up and down to create a suction. Another option is to use tweezers to remove any clumps that are blocking the drain. You can also use a chemical drain cleaner or a plumbing snake to dislodge a clog. </span></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 12.6728pt; margin-right: 2.60803pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space-collapse: preserve;">A foul odor from the </span><a style="text-decoration: none;" href="https://f95zoneusa.org/helpful-tips-to-unclogging-drains/"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #1155cc; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; white-space-collapse: preserve;">drain</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> or garbage disposal is usually a sign of a serious drainage issue. These odors may be the result of pollutants that have built up in the pipes. If you can't determine the exact cause of your odor, you should call a plumber who can assess the problem and suggest a solution. You may be able to solve the problem with a simple drain cleaning, but you may also need to replace your sewer pipe.</span></p> <p style="line-height: 1.2; margin-top: 12.6728pt; margin-right: 2.60803pt; margin-bottom: 0pt;"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space-collapse: preserve;">When in doubt, hire a professional </span><a style="text-decoration: none;" href="https://www.fixitrightplumbing.com.au/plumber-melbourne/"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; color: #1155cc; text-decoration: underline; text-decoration-skip-ink: none; white-space-collapse: preserve;">plumber in Melbourne</span></a><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Arial, sans-serif; white-space-collapse: preserve;"> to help you with your problem or any plumbing issues you may have. Common drain problems can typically be resolved on its own but sometimes you may need extra help to get those drains cleaned and fixed.</span></p>
