Should You Use Chemical Drain Cleaners?

Many people think that store-bought drain cleaners will do the trick. Though they may help in some cases, they have the potential to cause more harm than good. For one, they may damage your pipes and on a larger scale, these chemicals aren’t environmentally friendly. It’s best to trust the team at Wilson Plumbing & Heating to handle your problem safely and with care.

Shower Drain Cleaning

If you're dealing with a leaky or clogged shower drain, you probably do not need to tear out your entire shower to fix the problem. We can find a drain that will install from the top, reducing the time and money you will spend on fixing your shower. Even if your shower is located over concrete or features decorative tiles, we will offer a solution that provides the least disruption.

New shower drains create strong seals that are less likely to loosen over time. Several options are great for tight spaces and allow for quick installation. If you have a historic home in Akron, we can find a drain that will look good with your existing décor.

How To Prevent The Need For Drain Cleaning

Consider a lint-trap - All of the dirt and debris on your clothing doesn't just disappear when the washing machine is done. They get sucked into your sewer line courtesy of the drain line, but without a lint-trap this drain line will get clogged from time to time slowing the draining in your washing machine.
A hair-stopper on your shower drain - Our plumbers get called into homes and businesses to clean hair out of the shower drain on a routine basis. These hair-filters are cheap pieces of plastic that cover your drain and your wallet from the constant need for drain cleaning in Akron, OH.
Throw away cooking grease and oils in the trash - When you wash your cooking oils and grease down the kitchen drain, they'll latch onto your pipes and block passing by food. It's best to collect these sticky substances in a used milk carton to dispose of in the trash.
Rinse your drains - Just because we're unable to see our drains, doesn't mean they can't use a good cleaning every once in a while. Best practices are to wash them with a combination of warm water and vinegar about once per month.
Don't put the following items in the garbage disposal- Pasta, rice, chicken bones, coffee grounds, egg shells and celery can all wreak havoc on your garbage disposal in a variety of ways and demand the attention of our drain cleaning plumbers.
