Preventing Shower Drain Clogs
Most of the shower repair calls we receive are for clogged drains. The good news for you is that these clogs can be avoided by following a few simple steps:
- Use a Drain Cover: Install a drain cover or hair catcher to trap hair, soap scum, and other debris before they can accumulate in the drain and cause clogs.
- Regular Cleaning: Clean your shower drain regularly by removing the drain cover and manually removing any hair or debris that has accumulated. You can also use a mixture of baking soda and vinegar or a commercial drain cleaner to help dissolve buildup.
- Limit Hair in the Drain: Try to minimize the amount of hair that goes down the drain by brushing your hair before showering and using a drain cover to catch any loose strands.
- Avoid Pouring Grease and Oil: Avoid pouring grease, oil, or fat down the drain, as they can solidify and cause clogs. Instead, dispose of them properly in the trash.
- Flush with Hot Water: Once a week, pour a kettle of hot water down the drain to help flush away any buildup and keep the pipes clear.
- Be Mindful of What Goes Down the Drain: Avoid rinsing large amounts of food particles, soap residue, or other debris down the drain. Use a strainer or filter to catch any solids before they enter the drain.
By following these tips, you can help prevent shower clogs and keep your plumbing system functioning smoothly. Regular maintenance and proper usage habits can go a long way in avoiding the inconvenience and expense of dealing with clogged drains.
