A lot of people believe plumbing flaws always involve a blocked toilet drain or a clogged kitchen sink. Though these are plumbing problems, they can be dealt with rather comfortably. Drain clogs Ottawa are a common plumbing problem in most homes which in most circumstances are quickly dealt with using a plunger or by any other means. Unfortunately, flaws in your plumbing system can go beyond a blocked drain, and this is quite common in old houses. There’s a possibility the plumbing flaw could lead to a more critical situation which will demand the input of a plumber and the hefty bills that come with one. There are a couple of steps you can take to prevent your plumbing system from getting blocked.
Using Enzyme Cleaners
Using a drain cleaner at the very least on a monthly basis can be the easiest way to prevent a clogged drain. Certainly, you must have come across a lot of drain cleaners with most having either a biologically active component (enzyme cleaners) or a chemical one. However, using a chemical-based drain cleaner can have adverse effects on your plumbing system, your surrounding and even worse your wellbeing. Enzyme cleaners don’t have any of these negative effects and so are often suggested instead of the chemical-based drain cleaners.
Avoid Planting Trees and Shrubs Near Your Drainage System
Having trees around your drainage system remain one of the notorious reasons behind a blocked drainage system. Trees around a drainage system make taking care of your sewers a strenuous exercise. Worse still, the roots of these trees penetrate pipes with the aftermath being a blocked plumbing system which if unnoticed can lead to bigger problems.
Quit Flushing Rubbish in the Toilet
The fact remains apart from human waste and toilet paper nothing else has any business going down your toilet. Some of the main culprits of a blocked toilet are sanitary pads, diapers, and similar items. Flushing these items can have severe consequences on your plumbing system.
Change Those Old Plumbing Parts
It’s normal for things to become worn out with age and pipes and other components of the plumbing system of your home are also included. If your home was built perhaps a decade or more ago, you might want to have those old pipes changed. This could be a simpler approach to averting a more severe plumbing problem.
Clear out the Roots Yearly
The drainage system of your home can be safeguarded against a severe plumbing problem by having the roots around it removed. Though most properties should be okay with an annual root removal, yet how many times you need to do this change with the condition of the pipes and the number of blocked pipes you have experienced previously.
