5 Ways to Prevent Drain Clogs
Clogged sinks can be very inconvenient. There are ways to prevent clogged drains on your own, but it is very beneficial to find a professional plumber when in doubt. Below are things you need to know about preventive maintenance on your drains.
Run hot water down drain
After each use of your kitchen sink, it is a good idea to run very hot water down the drain. Doing so will help keep some of the oils and foods off the pipes. In more serious cases, this may make little or no difference.
Try baking soda and vinegar
Baking soda is a great cleaning agent. Throw a fourth of a cup of baking soda and follow up with hot water. Another great household product you can use is vinegar. Vinegar is also a great cleaner. Pour about a cup of vinegar down the drain, let it sit for about 30 minutes, then rinse it with very hot water.
Avoid dumping grease down drain
When cooking with grease, it is important to dump it into a glass container for future use or you may choose to empty your grease outside your back door. Either way is much better than putting grease down your drain.
Use grate or screen
There are many choices of grates and/or screens to protect your drain. Stop by a local store and choose what is best for your individual needs and wants. Purchasing one of these will be a great investment and definitely not a waste of time or money to invest in one.
Collect your food waste
It is tempting to just let your food go down the drain, but when you do that, you run a greater risk of clogs. It is important to keep all food out of the drain and throw away right away or collect it and throw it away in the garbage at once, not the sink.

I called the number and had to leave a message. Within 10 minutes someone called me back. They came out within a few hours and fixed my drain. Clay, my technician, was professional, and knowledgeable with a great attitude (especially on a hot Friday afternoon)! Fixed my problem in no time. Their service is outstanding. And prices are reasonable for the area. I would definitely use them again!

Stephanie Mellott First of all, they were ON TIME. In fact, the first visit was early! A slab leak is scary, but within the week, I was scheduled for repair. It took a matter of hours. All of the plumbers were polite and worked quickly and cleanly. When the contractor came to assess the damage to the house, he was so impressed by the lack of damage to my home that he asked me for the name of ASAP twice! Highly recommend this company and their services.

They are always very quick to respond and they address all of our work orders in a timely manner. They represent the rental company very well while they are on site communicating our the tenants. I greatly appreciate the working relationship we have with the team at ASAP Plumbing and recommend them for any of your plumbing needs, both big and small.
