The Top Culprits of Clogged Drains
Clogged drains can take you from headaches to costly home repairs in no time. Between the unpleasant odors and potential water damage if left alone, clogged drains are serious…
What’s the best way to prevent clogged drains?
A clogged drain can be a nightmare to deal with. The most common causes of clogged drains include cooking oils, hair, soap chips, and other debris that gets washed down sinks, tubs, and showers. To prevent clogged drains in your home, be sure to avoid washing cooking oils or liquid fats down your kitchen sink, as these can solidify in the drain and cause clogs. Installing strainers in showers and sinks can help catch hair and other debris before it’s washed down drains, and enzyme treatments can be used to make sure drains are clear. If your drain does end up clogged, our Chicago plumbers can help. Call us at (773) 570-9759 to find out more about our services.
