If you have ever had or currently have drainage problems, a clogged drain or one that works slower than it should, then you know that it can be a huge inconvenience and a big headache. Unfortunately, most home and business owners don’t do anything to help prevent this from happening.

A backed-up or clogged drain not only  puts a lot of strain on your waste disposal system, it can turn your residence into a foul smelling place.

Drainage Solution Options

Tackling a drainage problem can take time and may require a multi-pronged approach. This is why we recommend that you follow and adhere to those drainage solution options which are most effective.

Smart home and business owners know the best way to ensure their drainage system is effective is by preventing any issues in the first place. So, start by getting a seasoned plumber or drainage expert. The plumber can carry out routine drain checks and overall plumbing maintenance checks too. This will help ensure that your plumbing works efficiently and smoothly.

You should also actively monitor your drain and be on the lookout for any possible problems in the first place.  Carry out your own routine maintenance checks on the drains and plumbing so that you are never caught off-guard. You can do this by cleaning the drain using materials that are readily available at home. Something as simple as baking soda, vinegar and hot water can do the trick.

For example, you can clean the drain by simply pouring half a cup of baking soda, followed by the same quantity of vinegar down the drain and leaving for 10 to 20 minutes. Some  recommend you wait for a few hours then pour a kettle or pot of hot boiling water down your drain to flush away all of the gunk and melted sludge, oil residues and biofilm.

Finding an Expert

You can also take the simple step of watching and monitoring whatever you throw down the drain. This includes sizable food particles, solid items like bones, and many other things that shouldn’t be in the drain the first place.
