How to Avoid Clogged Drain Overflow

Clogged drains can be quite a nuisance, but there are several preventive measures you can take to keep them flowing smoothly. Here are some tips to help you avoid clogs in different types of drains:

Kitchen Sink and Bathroom Sink

Use Drain Screens: Place drain screens over your sink drains to catch food particles, hair, and other debris before they enter the pipes.

Avoid Pouring Grease: Never pour grease or oil down the drain. Instead, collect it in a container and dispose of it properly.

Regular Cleaning: Periodically clean the pop-up assembly and overflow plate to prevent buildup. 

Unclog with Precision

Plunger Technique: When using a plunger, create a seal and slowly push down before pulling it back sharply. This can help dislodge clogs and allow gravity to take over.

Closet Auger: For stubborn toilet clogs, consider using a closet auger. It fits inside the bowl and can break up or hook the clog without scratching the porcelain coating.

Bathtub and Shower Drain

Cover the Overflow: When plunging a shower drain, remove the overflow cover and place a rag over the hole. Apply hand pressure to build up pressure in the drain system and push the clog through.

Wire Drain Snake: If plunging doesn’t work, use a wire drain snake. Remove the pop-up assembly and gently feed the wire into the drain while cranking the handle. This will break up the clog and push it through the pipe.

Washing Machine Drain

Regular Inspection: Clean and inspect your washing machine and its parts regularly. Use a garment or lint bag to prevent lint buildup in the drainpipes3. Remember, if your efforts don’t clear the clog, it’s best to seek professional help from a drain-cleaning service or a licensed plumber to avoid damaging pipes or fixtures.
