Drains
All the water you use leaves your home through drains. Maintaining them prevents clogs, overflows, and water damage, among other issues [IMG]http://hgtvpro.buildiq*****/umbraco/imagegen.ashx?image=http://homecareguide.buildiq*****/media/441a48ce-f91c-4472-ab02-c49d5ee92791-GHCGPlmbDrainINT.jpg&class=hcgImageWithCaptionSmal l[/IMG] Most plumbing fixtures, such as the sink, shower, and bathtub, have a drain trap. A drain trap is a dip in the pipe beneath a fixture. It holds water, which forms a barrier to keep sewer gases in the plumbing system from entering your home. As long as you use plumbing fixtures frequently, this barrier remains. However, if you don’t use these fixtures frequently, the water barrier can evaporate. Because of their shape, drain traps are also the point where drains are most likely to become clogged. As a result, it’s important to take preventative measures and clear clogs quickly, allowing water to . drain away freely [IMG]http://hgtvpro.buildiq*****/umbraco/imagegen.ashx?image=http://homecareguide.buildiq*****/media/dd71b336-969e-4ba6-aa44-3ea3d3f85786-GHCGPlmbDrainINL01.gif&class=hcgImageWithCaptionLa rge[/IMG]

Maintenance
Follow these maintenance suggestions for your home’s drains Turn on all plumbing fixtures at regular intervals to replace evaporating water in the drain trap and keep the water barrier intact Pour grease into a container, freeze it in the freezer, and then throw it away in the trash. Never pour grease into a drain or toilet. Grease sticks to the side of pipes. As it builds up, it restricts flow and can completely block pipes Keeping a drain clear Take preventative measures to help prevent clogs from forming. The following measure helps keep a drain clear of grease from soap and food wastes using ordinary washing soda (not baking soda) Run hot water through the drain, and then turn off the water Put 3 tablespoons of washing soda into the drain Follow the washing soda with just enough hot water to wash it down the drain opening Let the washing soda set for 15 minutes, and then run more hot water !CAUTION Never pour grease into a drain Caustic soda is sold commercially as a drain cleaner, but you should never use it to open a drain. It will combine with the grease from soap or food wastes to form an insoluble compound !TIP If an appliance that uses water, such as a dishwasher, appears to be leaking, check the drain before calling for repair. A partially blocked drain can cause overflowing Unclogging a drain using a plunger Use a plunger as your first attempt to clear a clogged drain. A plunger works by forcing water through the pipe to clear a clog

Unclogging a drain using a plumber's snake Use a plumber’s snake as your second attempt (try a plunger first) to clear a clogged drain. You can purchase a plumber’s snake at any local home care center. A plumber’s snake works by uncoiling a long cable down a pipe to remove or dislodge a clog. To use a plumber’s snake properly, follow these steps Insert the end of the cable into the clogged drain Turn the handle on the plumber’s snake, uncoiling the cable so it descends into the drain Stop turning the handle when it becomes difficult to turn Pull out the cable. Make sure you turn the handle in the same direction when removing it as you did when inserting it. This will usually keep any matter attached to the cable from coming loose before it’s removed Clean the end of the cable, and put it back down the drain Continue this process until the drain is clear. Adding water to the plumbing fixture during this process can help. Water acts as a lubricant, helping to wash away the clog once you’ve begun to break it up !TIP If you partly open the drain with a plunger or snake, pouring boiling hot water (no hotter than 140°F for plastic pipe) down the drain may finish the job. If not, open the trap under the fixture, and put a bucket or pan under it to catch water. Try using a piece of wire, such as a coat hanger, to help dislodge the clog, or the plumber’s snake again

How to unclog a kitchen sink using a plunger
A plunger is one way to unclog a kitchen sink drain. A plunger works by forcing water through the pipe to clear a clog. To use a plunger, follow these steps [IMG]http://hgtvpro.buildiq*****/umbraco/imagegen.ashx?image=http://homecareguide.buildiq*****/media/24941/ghcgkitsinkclrplngrsbs01.jpg&class=hcgIllustratedS tep[/IMG] Place the plunger in the fixture (sink, toilet, etc.), covering the drain opening [IMG]http://hgtvpro.buildiq*****/umbraco/imagegen.ashx?image=http://homecareguide.buildiq*****/media/24948/ghcgkitsinkclrplngrsbs02.jpg&class=hcgIllustratedS tep[/IMG] Add water to the fixture, so the water level is higher than the lip of the plunger cup. Tilt the plunger cup to fill it with water, instead of air. Water creates more force than air to clear a clog [IMG]http://hgtvpro.buildiq*****/umbraco/imagegen.ashx?image=http://homecareguide.buildiq*****/media/24955/ghcgkitsinkclrplngrsbs03.jpg&class=hcgIllustratedS tep[/IMG] Plug the overflow outlet, if there is one, with a piece of old cloth. Also plug the second drain if you have a dual basin kitchen sink. Taking this step directs the full force of the plunging action at clearing the clog [IMG]http://hgtvpro.buildiq*****/umbraco/imagegen.ashx?image=http://homecareguide.buildiq*****/media/24962/ghcgkitsinkclrplngrsbs04.jpg&class=hcgIllustratedS tep[/IMG] Push and pull on the plunger rapidly about 10 to 20 times. Make sure not to break the seal between the plunger cup and the surface of the fixture [IMG]http://hgtvpro.buildiq*****/umbraco/imagegen.ashx?image=http://homecareguide.buildiq*****/media/24934/ghcgkitsinkclrplngrsbs05.jpg&class=hcgIllustratedS tep[/IMG] Check to see if the water is draining properly from the fixture. If it's draining, then you have successfully unclogged the drain. If it isn't draining, repeat steps 1-5, or try using a plumber's snake to unclog it .
