What are the best ways to prevent a dreaded clogged drain?
assistant
1. Use a plunger to try and dislodge any blockages in your sink or tub drains.
2. Make sure you regularly check for clogs by using a plumbing snake, auger, or other device designed specifically for removing obstructions from pipes.
3. If you have a garbage disposal, make sure to run it regularly to keep food particles from building up and causing clogs.
4. Clean out your pipes once a year with a pipe cleaning product designed for that purpose.
5. Install a trap arm to help catch debris before it reaches the main drain.
