Kensington, CT -- (SBWIRE) -- 07/16/2019 -- As a leading provider of clogged toilet services in Hartford County, CT, Riley Plumbing and Heating have unblocked countless drains for their customers. The company's professional team of plumbing and HVAC technicians has offered advice to homeowners on how to handle a blocked drain before calling in the experts.
To prevent drains from clogging in the first place, Riley Plumbing & Heating recommends pouring environmentally safe drain cleaner down the drains every month. There are bacteria inside these products that will eat the plaque from inside any pipes; this will help to stop a block from occurring. These products should be used as an alternative to chemical-laden cleaners.
If the drain is already clogged, try pouring a gallon of hot water mixed with a quarter of a cup of dish detergent down the sink or toilet. This solution helps to break down blockages and decrease the areas affected by unwanted materials. Once loosened, a plunger and a plumber's snake can be used to both break apart the blockage and force it to the surface of the drain.
The professionals at Riley Plumbing and Heating do not recommend the use of excess chemical-based cleaning products or foreign objects to deal with a blocked drain. These solutions can often cause more damage than good as heavy chemicals can damage pipes, and foreign objects often break and worsen blockages by further obstructing the drains.
