Keep reading for more information on how to keep drains clog-free without spending a single penny and without taking plumbing service in Woodland Hills.


Use Drain cleaner

Bacteriological Drain cleaner is an excellent solution that you can use to maintain all of the drains in your home. Simply pour the solution down the drain, leave for at least thirty minutes or as per instructions, and then wash down with hot water. Repeat every few months to maintain your drains and help prevent blockages.



Make sure to use a drain cleaner that has a lesser proportion of chemicals so it does not lead to pipe corrosion.


Keep that garbage disposal clean

Clean your garbage disposal once a month with a sturdy disposer brush. Alternatively, grind up a few cups of ice cubes and some table salt. This is a great solution to help cut the grease and slime off the sides of the disposer. Flush it out with cold water followed by half a lemon or lime to add some fresh smells into your home after, what can be, a smelly task.

Always use drain guard

Use a drain guard on all your plug holes to reduce the amount of waste that gets washed down your sink. Drain guards are small, plastic or metal grate-like disks that sit atop your plug to collect debris that you can then remove and throw into the bin. Helpfully, you can also buy a drain guard for your shower to catch loose hair and other debris that can wash down the drains.


Soften the water

If your water has a high mineral content—known as hard water—it can shorten your plumbing’s lifespan. Those naturally occurring minerals, usually magnesium or calcium, build up inside your pipes and restrict flow, increasing the pressure. Plus, they can corrode joints and fittings.


So, these are some of the tricks that you must follow to keep the drainage system of your home clog-free and also without bothering plumbing services in Woodland Hills.
