Adhering to a regular drain cleaning schedule will help prevent sediment buildup and severe blockages in the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>How do I keep my drain lines clean?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>Homeowners can maintain their drain cleanliness using a DIY pipe-clearing solution between professional cleanings. Pour 1 tablespoon of salt into your drain, followed by a 1\/4 cup of plain white vinegar, and let it sit.<\/p>\n<p>After an hour, pour a pot of boiling water down the drain to loosen up any sediment buildup. Repeat these steps a second time to get the best results.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>What should I not put down the drain?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>These are just some of the items that homeowners should avoid sending down their drains:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Food scraps<\/li>\n<li>Coffee grounds<\/li>\n<li>Oil and grease<\/li>\n<li>Paper towels<\/li>\n<li>Sanitary napkins and feminine care products<\/li>\n<li>Drain cleaning chemicals<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Even a <a href=\"https:\/\/lentheplumber.com\/baltimore-area\/plumbing\/garbage-disposal-repair-replacement\/\">garbage disposal<\/a> can&#8217;t break up everything, so be careful about what goes into your kitchen sink drain.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Is DIY drain cleaning safe for my plumbing system?<\/h3>\n<div>\n<p>It depends on what kind of DIY drain-cleaning solution you use. Most store-bought drain cleaning chemicals are not recommended for safe drain cleaning. These chemicals can build up in your system and cause severe blockages.<\/p>\n<p>While DIY solutions such as salt, vinegar, and boiling water mixtures are great for continued maintenance, they should not replace professional drain cleaning at least once every 18 to 22 months.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Signs You Need Professional Drain Cleaning Homeowners should be aware of the signs that they need professional drain cleaning to keep small problems from becoming emergency plumbing issues.
