A Guide to Preventing Clogged Drains in Sacramento, CA


At JLK Plumbing, we want to help Sacramento, CA homeowners avoid the hassle of clogged drains. The best approach is to be mindful of what goes down them.

  • In the Kitchen: One should always avoid pouring grease, oil, or fat down the drain. As these cool, they solidify and create stubborn blockages. Instead, they should be poured into a disposable container and thrown in the trash. When using a garbage disposal, it's important to be careful. Avoid putting fibrous or starchy materials, such as celery, potato peels, and coffee grounds, down the disposal. Expandable foods like pasta and rice should also be avoided. Always run cold water at full pressure when operating it.
  • In the Bathroom: A simple, inexpensive hair catcher can prevent the vast majority of issues. Toilets are designed to handle only human waste and toilet paper. Flushing "flushable" wipes, paper towels, cotton balls, or feminine hygiene products is a primary cause of severe clogs and sewage backups in Sacramento, CA homes.
  • General Maintenance Tips: Once a week, flush your drains with very hot water to help melt and clear away any minor, greasy buildup. Be wary of chemical drain cleaners. Harsh chemical drain cleaners can be corrosive and damage your pipes over time, especially in older Sacramento, CA homes. They are often a temporary fix at best.By following these simple tips, you can significantly reduce the frequency of clogs. When a tough blockage does occur, the professional drain cleaning services of JLK Plumbing in Sacramento, CA are your best bet for a safe and effective solution.
