While a drain can seem like a relatively clean place, the truth is that it’s not so much. Tub drains have soap, water, hair, and dirt running through them. And, if you happen to have children, probably a whole lot more on top of that.
We recommend using a tub strainer to keep excessive debris from running down your drain, but there is still the potential for clogs. If you have a flat plunger, trying it out in the bathtub isn’t the worst idea, but if you can’t fix the clogged pipes, it’s time to bring in the professionals at Smart Plumbing & Septic.
The drains in sinks have just as much opportunity for clogged pipes if not more, than a tub drain. Dental floss in the bathroom sink, food in the kitchen sink… it’s only a matter of time before all of those accidental times where you decided it could go down “just this once”, catch up on you.
