A Healthy Sink is a Good Sink
Turn the kitchen sink on and the water simply runs away, down the pipes into the Newcastle sewer system and happy days right.... what happens when the tap turns off and the water stays there, slowly rising, creeping closer to the top HELP! HELP!
Sinks can become blocked for a number of reasons and for the most of it, they are preventable. If you simply follow these easy tips a clogged drain can be avoided.
- The golden rule: NEVER POUR GREASE DOWN THE SINK unless you like seeing me every couple of months its an easy one to avoid. Pour it into a container and dispose of it in your general rubbish.
- Avoid pouring harsh cleaners down the sink. These will eventually erode the hoses and cause leaks and deterioration of them.
- Smelly sink? Try a easy homemade recipe of baking soda and vinegar. Its simple, just mix 2 parts baking soda and 1 part vinegar in a cup and slowly pour down. Its not harsh on your drain and will leave it smelling much better.
- Avoid food scraps heading down the drain. Its best to invest in a plug that allows the water to drain but the leftovers from dinner to be caught. You'd be amazed just how quickly food builds up.
- The Simple Rule: Don't replace pipes or hoses yourself. Too many times have I seen people take DIY to the next level and purchased the wrong hoses or failed to secure them properly. You can only guess what happens next. Just give me a call and ill have them fitted properly and professionally.
