Best Practices for Keeping Your Drains Clean and Clear

Hair is another common culprit. While you may not intentionally flush hair, it can still find its way into your drains. Neglecting your shower drain can cause hair to be pushed deep into your plumbing network, causing clogs and possible pipe damage.

Food is another item that can deeply damage your drains. One of the worst offenders is grease. Grease has a soft and tacky texture that sticks to the inside of your pipes and makes it especially difficult to remove. Grease can clog your pipes on its own, but it often traps other types of debris too, creating a complete blockage. This also goes for solid foods. The less you can put down your drain the better, therefore try to clean off plates and pans before dumping leftover food into the drain to avoid clogging.

Schedule Regular Drain Cleaning One thing about drain clogs is that no matter how diligent you are, it is almost impossible to keep all grease and hair out of your pipes. Small amounts of grease will sneak into your plumbing system when you wash dishes and laundry, and hairs can still find their way down your shower drain too.

Therefore, in order to address these issues, we recommend regular drain cleaning every 18 to 24 months for the best results. During a Milestone drain cleaning, a technician will use a drain snake equipped with a camera to inspect your pipes. They will thoroughly clean all of your plumbing and remove any built-up debris.
