Within the routines of daily life, seemingly harmless everyday items hide the potential to disrupt plumbing systems. From bathroom necessities to kitchen staples and self-care products, a few careless habits can lead to pipe blockages and costly repairs. As the go-to local team for drain cleaning in Summerlin, NV, Discount Drain Cleaning suggests keeping the following away from your drains.
Grease, Fats, and Oils
Grease and oil from cooking build up over time, creating a sticky residue that clings to the walls of your pipes. This can trap other items, such as food scraps and hair, making the clog worse. Instead of pouring these substances into your drains, place them in a sealed container and throw them in the bin. You can also wipe pans with paper towels before washing to remove excess grease.
Coffee Grounds
Given the fineness of coffee grounds, it’s understandable to assume they’re easily flushable. However, they often accumulate and clump instead of breaking down, creating a dense paste. This can eventually cause a clogged drain, especially when combined with grease and other residues.
Hygiene Products
Tampons, pads, and other sanitary products should not be flushed down toilets. These items are designed to absorb fluids, and they can expand and become lodged in both household plumbing and sewage systems, leading to severe blockages that necessitate professional drain cleaning services.
Dental Floss
Just because they look nothing more like threads does not mean you can get away with disposing of them in your drains. Dental floss is made of nylon and is nonbiodegradable, meaning it will stay in the pipes for a long time. As it accumulates, it can get entangled with other debris, causing major clogs that must be thoroughly addressed through drain snaking or hydro jetting.

I had the cartridge in my shower go bad and couldn't shut off my water. I called Walter at 6:00 am. He told me to shut off the water main and waited for him to get to my house and he fixed it in a matter of minutes, about 10-15 to be exact. I highly recommend them for any plumbing issues one might have.

We received a call from one of our tenants at a commercial retail center that all their toilets and sinks were backing up. We manage the property from out of town and rarely have plumbing issues, but now needed a plumber in a hurry. The tenant runs a childcare center and small children need access to bathrooms! After calling several companies who were too busy, one of them recommended Walter at Discount Drain. Lucky for us! Walter answered his phone immediately. He was friendly and committed to helping us out. He arrived at the property at the promised time and resolved our issue, keeping our tenants happy. His invoice arrived overnight with great detail and the price was reasonable. We won't hesitate to call upon Walter again.

Outstanding service. Was on time, price quoted was price charged, drains open and working in 30 minutes !! No mess to clean up, and was explained everything. Forget the ripoff plumbers in this city, that sell with the fear factor, and work you don't need. This is the only company to call.
