For kitchen sinks

  • Place a strainer over your sink’s drain to catch debris and food particles that could cause a blockage in your pipes.

For the shower and bathtub

  • Place a strainer over your shower and bathtub drain to catch hair that, over time, accumulates and eventually clogs the pipes.
  • Don’t forget to regularly remove the hair that has collected in the drain strainer.
  • Regularly clean the trap (siphon) of your shower, bathtub, and sink.

For toilets

  • Be sure not to pour food scraps down your toilet.
  • Also be careful not to pour oils or fats into it, as they harden when they cool.
  • You also need to explain to your children how important it is to put only toilet paper into the bowl—and not their toys or anything else.
  • Therefore, only flush toilet paper down your toilet—not wet wipes.
  • Then, you need to use enough water when flushing so that the water, urine, and fecal matter are properly evacuated.
  • Next, be sure to use enough water when you flush so that water, urine, and solid waste are fully washed away.

For household appliances

  • If your home is located in an area prone to limescale, use a descaler in your washing machine and dishwasher.

For your septic tank

  • Let nature take its course and don’t add chemicals to your septic tank.
  • Be sure to schedule your septic tank pumping in good time so that it doesn’t overflow.

For your soakaway

  • Never pour paint, cement, or other non-natural substances into your soakaway.

For your pipes in general

  • Let hot water run through your pipes from time to time, and install a water softener.
  • Be sure to limit your use of drain cleaners or other chemical products that can damage your pipes.
  • If you notice foul odors, gurgling during water drainage, water backing up from the soakaway, or even discolored rainwater, it likely means that a pipe is obstructed or clogged.
  • If you have a clogged pipe, you can try using a rubber plunger, pouring in a mixture of liquid drain cleaner and hot water, and thoroughly cleaning the trap.
  • If these techniques don’t work, you’ll need to call in experts like La Vidange Loiseau.
