Most people think they know the right tips and tricks to keep their plumbing flowing and running smoothly. However, these tips may actually do more harm than good.
AAA AUGER Houston plumbing supply is here to reveal some of the top home plumbing myths:
- Putting a lemon down your garbage disposal to freshen it up is a good idea – Actually, while this may result in a brief smell of freshness, the citric acid will eventually corrode the metal in your disposal. It is better to occasionally power wash the buildup in the disposal.
- “In-tank” toilet bowl cleaners will decrease the time you must spend cleaning – These products don’t actually get rid of the buildup in the toilet, they just bleach it white and ultimately damage the flow of your toilet.
- Running water while using the garbage disposal eliminates blockages – This does not necessarily reduce blockages. It is better to fill the sink with water before turning on the garbage disposal.
- If the pipe is draining efficiently, the drain isn’t clogged – Clogs often start deep within the pipes and don’t affect the part of the drain we see right away. To eliminate clogs, you should fill the sink or tub with water and let it drain on a regular basis.
