How to Prevent Blocked Drains at Home
Blocked drains are one of the most common (and avoidable) plumbing problems. With a few simple habits, you can save time, stress, and the cost of calling out a plumber.
Watch What Goes Down The Drain
Avoid putting grease, oil, food scraps, and coffee grounds down your kitchen sink. In bathrooms, use drain strainers to catch hair and soap build-up.
Regular Maintenance Matters
Schedule periodic drain cleaning or inspections — especially if you’ve noticed slow drainage. Early intervention prevents full blockages.
Know The Warning Signs
Gurgling noises, bad smells, or slow draining water usually mean a partial blockage is forming. Act early to avoid a complete blockage.
