When it comes to sink repair in San Gabriel area, many homeowners just don’t understand why their kitchen and bathroom sinks are constantly in need of being unclogged. Whether you are unclogging the sinks yourself or to the point where you have to call in professional help every time the sinks need to be repaired, there are some tips that can help you keep the sinks flowing clear and clean. Read on below for a few of those tips.
Keep Your Sinks Clean
You have to expect clogs in your sinks if you let food, gunk, and hair clog up in them constantly. After each hair brushing over the bathroom sink or every time you wash dishes in the kitchen sink, clean them out. Make sure that hair and food are not going down the drains and the clogs won’t happen as often. One good tip is to pour bleach down your drains at least once a month. It helps to break up any forming clogs and stops the stinks from putting off an unpleasant odor as well.
Make the Water Hotter than Usual
Although, this may seem obvious, the hotter the water is, the easier it is to dissolve a forming clog. At least once a week, run extremely hot water down your kitchen and bathroom sinks. In the kitchen, the hot water helps to dissolve grease clogs and the bathroom sink benefits as well, because people usually don’t use hot water to wash their hands and faces, so the sink doesn’t see much hot water, to begin with.
These are just a couple of tips for making sure your kitchen and bathroom sinks drain properly. If you need help with sink repair, contact the professionals at Your Plumbing Solution today.
