What is Making You Call for Drain Cleaning in Long Island?
If you’re unsure what’s giving your drains a hard time, take a look at the following 4 common causes for clogs and see if they apply to your drains:
- Cooking Grease Buildup: Cooking grease can often slip down drains and while you would think grease would actually create an easier, slicker drain pathway, grease actually hardens and slows down passage through pipes significantly. For any food waste that uses a significant amount of grease, it’s better to store the grease in a plastic bag before throwing in the garbage.
- Large Food Items: Foods like whole fruits and vegetables, potato skins, and rice should not go down your drains. While your garbage disposal, if you do own one, can chop up smaller food items, anything bigger can create huge problems for your drains and lead to major clogging. Cut larger food items up into smaller pieces before putting them down your garbage disposal.
- Dish Soap: The somewhat thick consistency of dish soap can prove harmful to your drains and buildup until you experience a clog. Dish soap passes through your drains too slowly and while it can clean your dishes, it’s best to keep it away from your drains. This soap can also damage your drains in the long-term, so it’s important to call for drain cleaning sooner than later.
- Physical Objects: Yes, that’s right: your child’s favorite toy may find itself clogging your drains. Other objects like paper products, eating utensils, and hygiene products can wreak havoc on sinks and toilets respectively. While it may seem obvious not to place any of these objects down the drain, mistakes can still happen!
