Clogged drains are a common plumbing issue, but with preventive measures, their frequency can be reduced. Avoid pouring fats, oils, and grease down the sink as they solidify upon cooling, leading to blockages. Use strainers to catch food particles, hair, and soap scum. Additionally, avoid flushing non-biodegradable items down toilets, such as wipes, cotton balls, or feminine hygiene products. Regularly flush drains with boiling water or a mixture of baking soda and vinegar followed by hot water. If you face recurrent clogs, consider scheduling a professional drain cleaning service to ensure pipes remain clear and functional.
