Common Kitchen Plumbing Mistakes

Drain cleaning chemicals can cause serious harms to your kitchen plumbing

The gradual buildup of food particles and grease in the dishwasher can cause a buildup. Dont be tempted to pour chemical drains in an attempt to unclog the drains, rather you should contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Youngstown for a more effective and long-lasting solution.

Chemical drain cleaners are acidic in nature, even though they can dissolve clogging items that can be rinsed with water. The issue here is that chemical drain cleaners will dissolve anything they come in contact with, and these include those seals on the dishwasher, the hose and even some interior components of the dishwasher. This chemical dissolution of internal parts of the dishwasher will eventually cause leaks and even leave some residues that can find their way into dishes. Do not use chemical drain cleaners, contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Youngstown for a safer solution.

The problems associated with having grease running down the kitchen sink

The movement of grease down the sink of the kitchen is another problem you should watch out for. Grease, animal fats, oils, can remain hot and stay in liquid form for a while but they can become solid once they cool off. When you pour grease, fats, and oils through the kitchen drains, they cool as they move down. This will leave some residue in the drains, which can lead to narrowing of the passages of the pipes- this will eventually cause the inability of other particles and water to pass. The more you avoid through grease and related items inside your kitchen drain, the less you will have the drains clogged.

Make sure you transfer grease, oil, and fats into disposable containers before throwing them into the garbage and for proper disposal. If you are struggling with grease removal from your sink, make sure you contact Mr. Rooter Plumbing of Youngstown for help.
