I have spent the better part of the last decade working as a Marietta plumber and after countless experiences with all types of home-owners I would like to take the time to give out some free plumbing advice. Now for those of you who have never heard of Marietta, it is a great city in the state of Georgia and is a popular suburb of Atlanta. I used to work for a major Atlanta plumbing company and spent many hours counseling home-owners both in Marietta and many other parts of Atlanta. The plumbing advice that I would give one homeowner seemed to echo the plumbing tips that I gave to the last home-owner. After a while I decided that it would be worthwhile for me to start writing a lot of this information down and sharing it with the world via the internet. I find this to be a much better and more effective way to dispense plumbing advice and it also allows me to provide visuals in the form of pictures and videos as well. Since the advice in this article is straightforward it doesn’t require a diagram but its nice to have that option.
Plumbing Advice
Make sure all of your drains have drain screens installed. This is one of the most common causes for drain clogs. For one reason or another home-owners decide to remove these drain screens and debris makes its way into your drainage system.This debris often time can consist of hair, soap scum, toothpaste, and a whole assortment of other things. The debris falls into the drain(since there is no screen to prevent it from doing so) and over time builds up in the u-trap. The u-trap becomes clogged and then your sink no longer drains. Taking the time to make sure that you keep drain screens installed on all of your drains can avoid this problem altogether.
Thanks for taking the time to read this article and I hope that this old Marietta plumber was able to provide you with some useful information.
