Beware the Hair and What Else You Flush!

  Beware the Hair and What Else You Flush! DoctorDrain Presents: Beware the Hair and What Else You Flush!   Your drains are the veins of your home, meant to carry waste and water away smoothly, but everyday items like hair and other flushed materials can clog these pathways, leading to plumbing issues, expensive repairs, and some seriously unwanted surprises.    Why Hair is a Top Culprit   Hair may seem harmless, but it binds together in clumps, catching soap, oils, and other particles along the way. As this cluster grows, it creates a web that catches more debris, slowly narrowing your drain’s passage. Soon, that daily trickle becomes a frustrating clog.   The Hidden Dangers of What We Flush   It’s tempting to treat the toilet like a trash can, but flushing anything other than toilet paper and waste is risky business. Items like “flushable” wipes, cotton balls, and feminine hygiene products don't dissolve as you’d hope. Instead, they add bulk to the d...

Unclogging a Kitchen Sink Drain: A Step-by-Step Guide

  Unclogging a Kitchen Sink Drain: A Step-by-Step Guide   When your kitchen sink drain clogs up, it can quickly turn meal prep into a hassle. Here's a quick rundown of the process and tools plumbers rely on to get that water flowing again.   1. Diagnosing the Clog  Before jumping in,  DoctorDrain  plumbers identify where the blockage is. Is it in the drain, trap, or further down the pipe? Knowing this helps choose the right approach.      2. Essential Tools for the Job - Plunger:  The first line of defense. A plunger can create the suction needed to dislodge clogs close to the surface. - Drain Snake (or Auger):  For clogs that resist plunging, a drain snake is next. This flexible tool can navigate through bends in the pipe, breaking up or pulling out stubborn debris. - Plumbing Wrench: For access to the P-trap (the U-shaped pipe beneath the sink), a wrench is a must. This trap often catches food particles, grease, and grime. - Bucke...
