Rain can cause drainage problems because rainwater can introduce leaves, branches, and other debris into your pipes. This debris can build up and clog your pipes.
Fortunately, there are many solutions to prevent pipe buildup and clogging. One of the most important things you can do is limit what you put into sinks, toilets, and trash cans. This means not pouring oil, grease, hair, toilet paper, diapers or other waste down the drain.
Additionally, you can install a hair strainer above the sink and bathtub to catch hair and prevent it from entering the pipes. These filters can be purchased online or at hardware stores and are easy to install.
You can also prevent clogged drains with drain cleaners . Drain cleaning chemicals can dissolve deposits that build up in pipes and prevent clogs. However, it is important to use these products with caution and carefully follow package instructions to avoid damage to the cables.
If you notice slow drainage or an unpleasant odor coming from your drains, it is important to act quickly to prevent a more serious clog.
