Whether it's in the shower or the kitchen sink, no one likes a clogged drain. They usually require the assistance of a professional plumber, and they can wreak havoc on the rhythm of a household in the interim, but by implementing a few small changes, anyone can minimize the chances of dealing with a clogged drain. A A & A Drain Cleaning, a septic repair company in Dalton, GA, shares a few of them. 

Top 3 Ways to Avoid Clogging Your Drain

1. Run Hot Water After Each Use

After washing the dishes, run hot water from the faucet into the sink and down the drain for a few seconds. This ensures the food waste is moving down the drain and through the pipes instead of accumulating food directly above or below the drain. 

2. Home Remedies

If your drain is already getting clogged, a couple of home remedies can clear it, like baking soda or vinegar with hot water. Using a baking soda and hot water mixture has the added benefit of leaving a kitchen sink smelling fresher.

3. Utilize Garbage Disposal 

For kitchen sinks equipped with garbage disposals, make sure all of the food waste has collected beneath the drain, and then turn on the disposal. This will guarantee that anything big enough to cause problems for your drain is chopped into more manageable bits.
