Hey there, fellow homeowners! Have you ever been ankle-deep in water due to a pesky plumbing clog? We get it. Dealing with backed-up sinks and stubborn toilets is no fun. But fear not—Golden Rule Plumbing is here to save the day!

What’s the Deal with Clogs?

So, why do our pipes sometimes rebel and clog up on us? It’s a tale as old as time. Think of your plumbing system as a busy highway, with water rushing through like cars on their morning commute. Now, imagine someone tossing banana peels and soda cans onto the road. Yeah, not pretty. That happens when we let hair, grease, and other gunk slip down our drains. They create blockages faster than you can say “Golden Rule”!

The Secret to Happy Drains

Now, onto the good stuff: how to keep those pipes flowing freely like a well-oiled machine. Here are some tips straight from the Golden Rule playbook:

1. Trash the Grease: Pouring grease down the drain might seem harmless, but trust us, it’s a recipe for disaster. Instead, let it cool and toss it in the trash where it belongs. Your pipes will thank you!
2. Hair Today, Gone Tomorrow: Install drain strainers in your sinks and showers to catch those pesky hairs before they cause chaos. It’s like giving your pipes a little hair net to keep things tidy!
3. Flush with Care: When it comes to your toilet, remember the three Ps: pee, poop, and (toilet) paper. Anything else is a big no-no. Call us if your toilet is acting up; don’t wait around!
