How to Clean and Drain Your Sewer
Don't let clogs ruin your day! Learning how to clean and drain your sewer can save you a world of trouble.
Why is it Important to Clean and Drain Your Sewer?
Clogged sewers can be messy, smelly, and even pose health risks. By cleaning and draining yours regularly, you'll not only keep your home smelling fresh but also avoid costly repairs down the line.
How to Clean and Drain Your Sewer
- Turn off the main water supply to the house by locating the shut-off valves under the sink or near the water meter.
- Use a drain snake (also known as an auger) to remove any blockages in the pipes. Feed the snake into the drain and twist it clockwise until you feel resistance, then pull it back out with a jerk motion.
- For more stubborn clogs, use baking soda and vinegar to dissolve any mineral buildup or grease. Pour 1 cup of baking soda down the drain, followed by 1 cup of vinegar. Let it sit for a few hours before rinsing with hot water.
Tips for Maintaining Your Sewer
Regular cleaning and maintenance can help prevent clogs from forming in the first place. Consider scheduling a professional sewer cleaning every 10-15 years to ensure your pipes are always clear!
