F.H. Furr, your one-stop shop for all of your plumbing, heating, air conditioning, electrical, and indoor air quality needs, prides itself on being able to clear any clog. However, it would be best for your plumbing (and your wallet) to avoid clogs before they happen.
Hair is a big culprit for drain blockages, as it can combine with grease and soap to form clogs. Ensure all drains have guards to catch hair and clear these regularly.
The fat in many soaps often combines with minerals in your water and can clog pipes. Switch to bar soap and have your pipes pressure-cleaned to remove traces of soap buildup. Soaps that contain essential oils, cornstarch, and cocoa butter are more likely to cause clogs.
Foreign objects are another common cause of clogs. Objects can find their way into your plumbing supply and wreak havoc. Remember to only flush water, toilet paper, and human waste down your toilet, drain, or sink. Even with a garbage disposal, you will want to avoid putting coffee grounds down your drain. Be cautious of grease and oil too because they build up in your pipes and cause blockages.
Excess dirt can also cause unwanted clogs. Shake or rinse excess dirt and mud off your clothes and body outside before washing them.
If you do get a clog, don't fret. F.H. Furr can clear your clogged drain and restore the flow, and if the clog remains, you won't get charged. Visit www.fhfurr.com for more details.
