We certainly do spend a lot of time at the office but we spend even more of our time at home and if you have a large family then that is several people using the many facilities throughout your house every single day.
This amounts to 365 days of the year of toilets being flushed, showers being taken and who knows what is being put down the sink.
This is why as the homeowner, we need to do all that we can to make sure that the drains in our homes are not suffering as a direct consequence of our actions.
The last thing that you want is to be taking a shower and for the water to be pooling around your feet going nowhere.
Another equally scary experience is when you make your daily motions, flush the toilet and then you are horrified to see that the contents are rising towards you and not going in the opposite direction.
Hopefully, the water will stop right at the rim and stay there and so this gives you time to call out the professionals who can take care of blocked drains in Castle Hill.
Ideally, you do not want to be having to call out these people in the first place and so the following are just some top tips that you can put into place to make sure that your drains don’t get blocked up in the first place.
Keep an eye on what goes down your sink –
If you have children then they have a propensity to try to stuff whatever they can down the sink all because they have no understanding of the problems that it can create on their own.
You should talk to your family members and encourage them to not put food down the sink drain as well as tea leaves, coffee grounds and any fat from the cooking process.
These should all be put in a container and disposed of in the bin and not down the sink which normally happens and then you need professional plumbing services.
Pick out all those hairs –
It may sound disgusting having to pick up the hairs that are accumulating around the shower drain or bath drain and we all know that it’s a dirty job but somebody has to do it.
As the head of the household, it is your job to make sure that you catch these areas at the very beginning before they make their way down the drain hole. These have an innate ability to block drains that will involve calling out the professionals to get them unblocked.
It is always a good habit to get into of heating up a pot of hot water and then pouring it into the drains of your sink, your shower tray and anywhere else that leads to a drainage pipe.
If you do this at least once a week then it will help greatly to stop grease building up and it will help to clear the walls of your water pipes.
