To be cautious of what you put down your drains is one of the best ways to prevent a clogged drain from forming. Things such as cooking grease, rice grains, hair, and soap scum should not go down your drain. Make sure your drain openings have a screen to prevent these materials to go down the drain.
Clogged drains are a common problem in every household. From time to time, you will notice the water is going down the drain slowly and backing up in your sink, bath-tub, or shower. There are some simple steps that you can take to keep your drains "tuned-up" and running freely if your drain does need something more powerful, there are some safe home remedy’s on the market.

These are a few methods you can use to keep your drains running freely. You can run hot water through them after each use; pouring one cup of vinegar into the drain and chasing it with boiling water or pour down one cup of baking soda followed by a few cups of boiling water. In addition, if the water isn't going down the drain, pour a cup of washing soda over the drain area and let it sit for a while to work its way down to the clog.
If your sink is still clogged, you may want to try using a plunger. Simply place the plunger completely over the mouth of the drain and rapidly pump it up and down until the water rushes down the drain. If the water remains clogged call VIP Plumbers
In most cases, your problem should be solved after you have performed the above procedures. However, if you notice that all of the drains in your home are running slowly, you may have a bigger problem and chances are the source is within one of the main sewer lines.
If this is the case then call VIP Plumbers
