As the new year begins, it’s the perfect time to focus on creating a fresh, comfortable, and problem-free living space. One area that often goes unnoticed but plays a key role in maintaining your home’s overall health is your plumbing system—specifically your drains. By paying a little extra attention to your drains this year, you can prevent major issues and keep your plumbing running smoothly.

Here’s a comprehensive home drain maintenance checklist to kick off the new year:

1. Inspect for Build-Up and Clogs

The first step in maintaining a healthy plumbing system is inspecting your drains for any signs of clogs or build-up. Check each drain in your home, including sinks, showers, and toilets. If you notice any slow drainage, strange odors, or gurgling sounds, these may be early indicators of a blockage or build-up.

When it comes to liquid drain openers to combat stubborn clogs, we recommend using our Drain Opener. This powerful solution is designed to clear even the toughest blockages, helping to maintain water flow through your pipes. Whether it’s hair in the bathroom or food remnants in the kitchen, Drain Opener tackles the build-up effectively. The Drain Opener is now available at Wal-Mart and Amazon!

2. Prevent Future Clogs

To keep your plumbing in tip-top shape, consider implementing these simple habits to avoid future clogs:

  • Dispose of Grease, Oil, and Coffee Grounds Properly: Never pour grease, oil, or coffee grounds down your drains. These substances can solidify in your pipes, leading to serious blockages. Instead, dispose of them in the trash to protect your plumbing.
  • Use Drain Strainers or Screens: A small investment in a sink strainer, Disposal Genie, or screens can save you a lot of headaches. These handy devices catch hair, food particles, and other debris before they enter your pipes, significantly reducing the risk of clogs.
  • Monthly Maintenance with Build-Up Remover: A proactive approach to home maintenance is always the best strategy. Use Build-Up Remover, now at Wal-Mart, every month to help prevent the accumulation of grease, soap scum, and other debris in your drains. It’s an easy way to keep your pipes clear and your plumbing system healthy. You can also find the Build-Up Remover on Amazon.

3. Keep Your Kitchen Fresh

The kitchen is one of the most used spaces in the home, and keeping it fresh is essential for creating a pleasant atmosphere. One of the most overlooked areas is your garbage disposal. To maintain a clean and odor-free disposal, make sure to use Garbage Disposal Pods regularly. These pods help to eliminate odors, break down food waste, and keep your disposal running smoothly, all while leaving your kitchen smelling fresh. Order the garbage disposal cleaning pods now at Wal-Mart.
