Preventative measures to keep your drains clean
Kitchen Drains
Your kitchen drains are constantly susceptible to clogging. As grease, fats, soaps and detergents build up in the pipes, they act as magnets for leftover food particles and scrapes. That build-up can quickly go from a slow drain to a kitchen flood. If you notice your drain is draining slower than usual, that can be a bad sign but also an opportunity to catch the problem early. A-1 American can handle all your general pipe cleaning needs as well as give you tips for keeping your drains clean.
Bathroom Drains
Bathroom showers should drain completely and quickly. If you find yourself standing in a pool of water during or after your shower, the culprit is likely a shower drain clog.
Systems like a slow clog now could become a hard-to-deal-with, expensive back up later so it’s important to deal with the drain clog while you can. A-1 American experts will come to your home and clean out the clog without doing damage to your plumbing system. They can also give you tips to help you keep your drains clean.
Floor Drains
Usually located in a utility or laundry room, floor drains are just as susceptible to clogs as every other drain, possibly even more so. Floor drains have a special trap that should be kept filled with water in order to keep sewer gases and odors from escaping. Floor drains should be checked periodically to ensure that they’re functioning as intended.
From laundry lint to detergents, solvents to socks, A-1 American experts can unclog that drain.
