Kid Rooter Plumbing Tips

Kitchen Drains Don't pour liquid grease down the drain. Before washing pots and pans, wipe out congealed grease with a paper towel. Run lots of cold water through your garbage disposal both during and after each use. Don't put fibrous or stringy fruits and vegetables like celery, corn silks or banana peels in the garbage disposal. Once a week run hot water down the drain to help keep it free-flowing. Laundry/Washer Drains Stoppages are usually caused by soap or lint buildup in the pipes, Use moderate amounts of soaps and detergents Use a bio-degradable detergent. A piece of woman's nylon stocking can be used as an extra trap on the hose that drains from your washer. Pipes Call your Kid-Rooter Plumbing serviceperson as soon as you suspect there is a problem. Catching problems early can often save you money and inconvenience. If tree roots are the problem, use Kid-Rooter Root Destroyer in the line twice a year during the growing season. Root Destroyer will kill only the roots growing in the line and not harm the tree. Toilets Store small objects away from the toilet. Only use toilet paper in the toilet. Don't try to flush diapers, sanitary napkins, tampons, facial tissue or any other bulky products down the toilet. Be sure the toilet is operating properly. The tank should fill with water to the recommended level and the toilet should flush completely with adequate force. Tubs and Showers Most clogs are caused by build ups of soap, hair, and bath and body oils. Each drain should be fitted with a strainer that catches hair and soap chips. Clean the strainer regularly.   For preventive maintenance, use BIO-CLEAN on a regular basis.
