One day last week my kitchen sink got clogged, while frustrating I didn’t think it was going to be a big deal.I just grabbed the Liquid Plumber I had bought for just such an occasion, and then presto. Nothing.So we head off to Wal-Mart, my daughter in her jammies since she was just about to go to bed. I found this Draino, my daughter suggested to get two just in case as well as after this Liquid Plumber hadn’t worked I though maybe I better.Tried it as well as it didn’t work, so then I decided to let it really have some time to work over night. Still in this morning a clog.So I call a plumber and he had the clog fixed in no time, and he gave me a bit of advice that I am going to be using now.He told me once a week to fill up both my sinks as well as then let this water out on both at the same time. He said this cyclonic action of the water would continue all the way through my pipes and keep me from having a clog.He said as long as you don’t put a lot of grease down your drain you should never have a clog.So I thought I would share this tip with all of you. I figure it doesn’t cost anything as well as takes less than 5 minutes so why not.
Another tip someone else had given me that I forgot to ask the plumber about remains to take a can of salt every month as well as flush it down your toilet. They told me it would keep tree roots from growing toward your pipes. So since I have trees in my backyard I salt the toilet once a month too.
