A clogged drain or a clogged toilet is always a hassle, but there are a number of things that you can do to prevent clogs and to clear them if they happen. Remember that your expert Brooklyn plumbers at Petri Plumbing & Heating are always here to back you up.
Clogs are often caused by fats, oils and greases in the kitchen. In the bathtub and shower, they can be caused by hair, especially combined with soap scum. Toilets are particularly vulnerable to clogging when inappropriate objects are flushed.
Here are some easy tips to help prevent and clear a clogged drain:
Everybody should have a couple of plungers in their home to clear most common clogs. There are sink plungers, also called cup plungers, and then there are toilet plungers that have a soft rubber flap that folds out and fits snugly into the trap of the toilet. There’s also a type called the accordion plunger that’s designed for toilets.
For a large clog, or one that’s far away from any of the fixtures in your home, you’d better call a professional. After a few failed attempts, it’s smart to call your Brooklyn plumbing experts at Petri Plumbing & Heating.
