4 things to stop putting down your drain right now!
I know, I know, it is so tempting to put unwanted substances down the drain right? “Out of sight, out of mind” is a good thought until at the most inconvenient time, they come back to haunt you in the form of a blocked drain! What is the best way to keep your drain lines in good working order? Don’t put things in them that will block or harm them. Here is a list of the most tempting things to put down the sink or toilet that should not be there!
Coffee grounds
Used coffee grounds are such a mess! It is so easy to just put them down the drain to get rid of them. Coffee grounds create a sticky mess that will settle in your drain lines and eventually create a blockage that will ruin your day!
2. Q-tips and makeup pads
Anything that doesn’t dissolve in water can be problematic in a drain. Inevitably there are places in your drains that may snag something like a makeup pad or a Q-tip. This will create a place where anything else going down the drain will get caught as well, creating a full-blown pipe blockage. Spring River Drain & Sewer can clear these blockages when they occur and leave your drain and house as good as new.
3. Grease
The arch enemy of healthy drain and sewer systems all the way to the treatment plant is grease. A small amount of grease will get into your drains through normal use but pouring it directly in will speed up the build-up inside the pipes. They will start to drain slower and slower until they will finally choke down to nothing. Spring River Drain & Sewer has all the equipment needed to hydro jet your lines in order to restore them to like-new condition.
4. Wet Wipes
“Flushable” wet wipes are anything but. They do not dissolve and snag on anything and everything they encounter once in the drain & sewer. They can create a big, big problem once they are flushed. Spring River Drain & Sewer can clear your drain for you if and when they become a problem!
