Clogs can happen any time in Arvada homes, requiring homeowners to find effective solutions. The most common solution that homeowners turn to is chemical plumbing agents. The unfortunate news is that these chemical plumbing agents actually are very harmful to your home’s sewer lines. The chemicals accelerate deterioration and can cause the need for replacement. Instead of using these harmful chemical agents, there are all-natural enzymatic products available that are a much better choice.
How to Prevent Clogs in Your Arvada Home
All-natural enzymatic products, unfortunately, can’t get rid of major clogs but they do well with breaking up bacteria and organic matter. One of the best ways to address clogs is practicing proper drain cleaning maintenance in order to prevent issues from arising. Here are some DIY options that can be used every month for keeping your drains in good shape:
- Baking soda and vinegar: Take a half cup of baking soda and pour that down your drain. Pour a half cup of vinegar afterward, plug your drain, and let this mixture sit overnight. In the morning, flush the mixture with hot water. This can be completed once a month for proper drain cleaning.
- Hot water: Pouring a large amount of very hot water down your drain can also help with drain cleaning maintenance. Make sure to not use boiling water and flush it down with cool water to help melt away the existing clogs.
