Drain cleaning with rooter service solves a common issue experienced in homes across Central Indiana – clogged drains. Clogs produce different symptoms depending on their location within your plumbing system.

• A single fixture with poor drainage is probably the result of a clog in its drain line leading to the main drain. Organic matter typically makes up a clog in this location. In bathroom drains, hair, and soap scum are common. In kitchen drains, food particles are typically to blame. The use of a drain snake and running water is typically all it takes to break up these clogs.
  
  
• Clogs in the main drain line as well as the sewer line, produce some similar symptoms, making it tough to determine where the clog exists. They both cause drainage problems across the home and water backup in fixtures when an appliance or nearby fixture is used.

If you want to avoid the need for rooter service, you need to keep your drains clean. Clogs can affect a single fixture or the entire plumbing system, ranging from mild to severe and damaging. Prevent clogs from forming in your drain and plumbing lines with the following advice.

• Keep oil and grease out of your drains. Collect it and dispose of it in the trashcan.
• Keep certain products out of the garbage disposal unless you want the machine to jam up or a clog to form down in your sink drain. Starchy foods, including vegetables and pasta, skins, bones, coffee grounds, and other waste, needs to go in the trashcan.
• Drain stoppers should be cleaned once a week. Remove all hair and buildup from the stopper, and be sure to reinsert it into the drain.
• Cover tub and shower drains with a strainer to catch hair.
• Use a strainer on kitchen drains to trap pieces of food and prevent them from going down the drain.
• Wash pets outside as much as possible to keep more hair out of your bathtub drain. Over the winter months, be sure to use a strainer cover when washing pets in your tub or shower.
• Keep everything but toilet paper and human waste out of the toilet. Feminine hygiene products, baby wipes, paper products, cotton swabs, and flushable items should all be thrown in the trash. Flushable items are rarely dissolvable to the point they don’t cause clogs.
• Inform children about the rules involving the toilet. No toys or other items should ever be placed in the toilet bowl. Never flush the toilet if an item has fallen into the bowl.
• Use lint catchers on washing machine drains to trap lint and fabric fibers and keep them out of drains.
• Make sure the rooftop plumbing vent stack is always clear and unobstructed.
