DIY Repairs, Fixes, and Early Prevention

If you have drains that simply won’t unclog, or water keeps coming up, it sounds like you need to give us a call. Here are a few simple things you can do to prevent a major buildup and drain problem! 

  • Use a Snake – A tool often used to unclog drains is called a snake. You can put it down the drain, and hopefully, pull up whatever is causing the clog. 
  • Plunger – The most classic way to fix a clogged drain is a plunger to pull away whatever is causing the blockage.
  • Hot Water – After all of these methods, using a bucket of extremely hot water to wash down buildup is usually called for!

What To Avoid Throwing Down the Drain

Maintaining a smoothly running plumbing system is a priority for any homeowner, and one key aspect of this is understanding what should never be introduced into your drains. Avoiding certain items and materials can prevent clogs, backups, and costly plumbing repairs. 

Here's a list of items you should steer clear of when it comes to your drains:

  • Grease and Oil: Pouring grease or oil down the drain may seem convenient, especially after cooking, but it's a common cause of blockages. Over time, grease and oil can solidify, adhering to the walls of your pipes, and gradually narrowing the passageway for water to flow through. To dispose of grease and oil properly, let them cool and then place them in a container for later disposal in the trash.
  • Food Scraps: While it's tempting to wash food scraps down the kitchen sink, it's a practice that should be avoided. Large food particles, like fruit peels, coffee grounds, and eggshells, can accumulate in your pipes and create obstructions. Instead, use a strainer in your sink to catch food debris, and dispose of it in your compost or trash.
  • Fibrous Materials: Stringy vegetables, such as celery or corn husks, can be particularly troublesome for drains. These fibrous materials have a tendency to tangle within the pipes, impeding the smooth flow of water. Always dispose of fibrous waste in your trash or compost bin.
  • Paper Products: Flushing paper towels, wet wipes, and feminine hygiene products down the toilet might seem convenient, but it's a bad idea. These items don't break down easily like toilet paper, which can lead to clogs and sewer backups. To avoid this issue, dispose of them in a proper waste bin.
  • Chemicals: Harsh chemicals, including drain cleaners and paint thinners, should never be introduced into your drains. While they might temporarily solve a clog issue, these chemicals can corrode your pipes over time, leading to costly repairs. Instead, consider using natural or enzymatic drain cleaners or seek professional plumbing assistance when dealing with stubborn clogs.
  • Coffee Grounds: Coffee grounds might seem harmless, but they can accumulate in your pipes and create blockages. It's best to dispose of coffee grounds in the trash or use them for composting.

By being vigilant and mindful of what you allow into your drains, you can prevent many common plumbing problems. Proper disposal methods and regular maintenance can help keep your plumbing system in top condition, saving you both time and money in the long run. If you have any doubts or encounter persistent plumbing issues, it's always wise to consult with a professional plumber for expert guidance and assistance.

  • Can You Deal With Drain Blockages on Your Own?

    Drain cleaning and minor unblocking are key facets of proper drain maintenance, but some problems are too severe for your household handyman. If your blockage is below your U-pipe, everyday solutions are unlikely to work. Household drain cleaners shouldn’t be used on toilets, so they need the kind of attention only professionals can manage. If your connections are rusted, only industrial tools will be effective.

  • My Drain Keeps Getting Clogged. How Can I Prevent That?

    Frequent drain blockages can usually be avoided. Flushing large objects can cause stubborn indoor problems, so throw hard-to-flush items like paper towels and sanitary products in the dustbin. Hair is another frequent offender, but it’s a little more difficult to manage. Installing a mesh screen over your drains can help, as can brushing before every shower. Use a baking-soda-and-vinegar rinse once a week.

    Oils and grease are also notorious for their blocking powers. They harden when cooled, so it’s best to pour them into a container for trash disposal.

  • How Often Should You Clean Your Drains?

    Your drains might be hidden, but they still need regular maintenance. Uncleaned drains harbor dangerous microorganisms, so disinfect them every week. A deep monthly clean is a key preventive habit, but you should hire a professional to perform a deeper clean every year.

  • Do Several Drain Blockages Indicate the Same Problem?

    Simultaneous blockages warn you of a serious blockage that usually involves your main sewer drainage pipe. Bubbling in your sinks and toilets is also a red flag for this problem. If your plumbing fixtures are causing blockages in other fixtures, the issue is usually further down where both drains connect. That generally requires an industrial snaking tool and a professional plumber.

  • Do a Slow-moving and Clogged Drain Indicate the Same Problem?

    Slow-moving drains can be an early sign of clogging, but they’re also a red flag for myriad other problems. Your pipes might have narrowed from sediment buildup, which needs heat treatment rather than mechanical strength. A universal blockage may also be caused by a badly graded drainage plan. If so, your land might need to be reshaped.

  • How Do I Avoid Clogged Drains?

    Avoid flushing anything but paper and waste down the toilet, and do not flush “flushable” moist wipes, hygiene products, or paper towels. Dispose of cooled cooking oils and grease in the garbage, and use baskets or strainers on drains to keep food particles, hair, and foreign objects out of sink and tub drains.

  • Should I Call a Plumber for a Clogged Drain?

    If basic plungers, pipe snakes, or other at-home methods fail, it’s best to call a plumber for professional drain cleaning. Too much force or the use of harsh chemical drain cleaners can actually damage the pipes, making the problem much more expensive to repair.

Kitchen Drains and Sinks

When you have dishware to clean, you typically head over to your kitchen sink. Between leftover food and grease, it’s not surprising that materials can build up. Combine that with the soap scum trail detergents can leave behind, and suddenly, kitchen drain cleaning is not just a good idea—it’s a necessity. Don’t let a clogged drain pipe keep you from using your kitchen.

Bathroom Sink Drains

With toothpaste, water, and other items flowing through the drains attached to your bathroom sink, the pipes tend to accumulate a buildup of grime.

Instead, call the plumbing experts at Bovio Rubino Service, who have repaired all types of bathroom drain issues and can help you rest easy knowing your system is in good hands.
