My drains are frequently getting blocked up, however i will admit, I put things down that I shouldn’t. I am the girl that flushes tampons even though I shouldn’t. I dump grease down our study room drain and if our garbage disposal will grind something, it is going down the drain. I even toss other questionable items down the toilet. I have gotten better with that since I had a sewer line repair that was high-priced. I made the mistake of flushing the plastic top of a stick of desmellant, and whoops, our bad, anywho, our normal drains are regularly in rough shape. I keep a bottle of drain cleaner on hand and fervently pour it down the pipes. I also have a plunger near our toilet and study room sink. Anytime water drainage is slow, I then take the plunger for encouragement. I have even bought myself a plumber’s snake, but every now and then the two of us remove the drain cover in the shower and snake down it. I find pounds of hair, soap scum and other icky things. Then I have better drainage. About once a year I easily spend money for professional drain cleaning. They are much better than chemicals and a plunger. They have way better tools and get everything in working shape. I believe that it is worth every penny. My plumber regularly has a little talk with me about proper drain care and what can and can’t go down them. I regularly promise to be nice but I fall into awful drainage habits quite abruptly. I suppose that whatever I put down the drain can be removed at a later date.
