Holiday Drain Clogs & How to Avoid Them

By
During the holidays, clogged drains can be a major issue. No one wants to deal with a drain clog, but especially not in the middle of cooking dinner or when expecting house guests for the holidays. And, with all of the cooking, chopping and showering, clogged drains become more more common this time of year. If you plan on entertaining guests and cooking for everyone, then you are more at risk for clogged kitchen drains, toilet back-ups and clogged main sewer lines now than at any other time of the year. But rest easy because there is a quick, effective and safe solution for you and your home and it’s called water jetting. As the trusted name in plumbing and specifically water jetting for the Twin Cities, we are here to tell you more about common clogged drain causes and how to avoid them this holiday season.

The incorrect disposal of cooking grease, overuse of garbage disposals and improper or excessive disposal of paper waste can result in clogged drains this time of year. It’s important to catch a blockage in time and not allow it to go untreated. The faster you have the issue addressed, the faster you can get back to holiday festivities. Water jetting is a fast solution that uses high pressure water to blast the inside of the pipes. Water jetting can cut through tough clogs like grease, dirt, and ice. This method not only clears the clog but it also cleans your pipes in the process.

Also it is important to remember that you should never pour oil down the drain. Baking, roasting and frying can create an excess in cooking oils, grease and fats that need disposal. Do not pour them down a drain! Put cooled fats and oils into a garbage bag, can or into a sealed container before disposing in the trash.

You should also avoid overuse of the garbage disposal. Rather than use a garbage disposal, many plumbing professionals advise disposing of table scraps directly into the garbage. These are just a few of the things to keep in mind this holiday season.

The holidays are here! So, if you require professional drain cleaning and water jetting for your Twin Cities home now or in the future, call All Ways Drains at 612-922-9422, or you can contact us and get a Free Estimate.
