Want to avoid having to pay for constant maintenance & upkeep on your drain? The only way to do this is to maintain your drainage system. We’re going to provide you with some issues & tips to avoid them so that you can learn how to keep your drain in tip-top condition, see below:

• If you have multiple bathrooms, wherein, one or two are not frequently used and begin to notice a foul smell emitting from them, it’s usually caused by stagnant water in the toilet bowl. Try flushing the toilet every so often to avoid this.
• Don’t allow any foreign items to pass through the drain. It’s fairly easy to let items slip through the drain whilst washing dishes, so we suggest investing in a stainless steel sink strainer to prevent that from occurring. 
• Pay attention to all drains on your property. Monitor your indoor & outdoor drains We often tend to forget about our outdoor drains, but they can also collect debris & get clogged which can cause costly issues.
• When thinking of ways to keep your drain in tip-top condition, you may jump to the first available off-the-shelf chemical cleaner. However, they often do more harm than good, especially if there is actually an underlying issue causing the issue. Try as best you can, to opt for natural solutions before calling in a professional.
• Invest in some baking soda and vinegar & carry out regular drain cleans with these products. Pour one cup of baking soda, followed by one cup of vinegar and finally one cup of boiling water & let that sit for about 15-25 minutes before rinsing out.
• Lastly, check up on all your drains at least once a month. Clean out stoppers & drain blockers to avoid the build-up of germs & bacteria. You will need to perform regular drain cleans & flushes in the pursuit of keeping your drain in tip-top condition.
