Q: How do I prevent a drain clog?

• <div><p>The first rule of plumbing is nothing but water, toilet paper, number one, and number two go down the drain. </p><p>To prevent clogs, get yourself:</p><ul><li><p>A compast pail where you can clean plates, drain grease, and toss scraps and paper towels. </p></li><li><p>Drain screens for the shower, tub, and bathroom sink to stop hair, jewelry, toys, etc. from going down the drain.</p></li><li><p>Trash cans for everything that shouldn&rsquo;t go down the drain, like dental floss, hygiene products, and cat litter.</p></li></ul><p><b>P.S.:</b> If you do drop your priceless ring down the drain, take a deep breath, and then <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-retrieve-jewelry-drain.htm">follow these steps to retrieve jewelry from your drain</a>. </p></div>

Q: Do septic tanks clog easily?

• <div><p>Septic tanks can clog if they aren&rsquo;t pumped every few years since solid waste accumulates inside of them. Your tank might also clog if you have a habit of flushing anything other than human waste or toilet paper. Items like diapers, baby wipes, paper towels, cat litter, and personal hygiene products should never go down your pipes.</p></div>

Q: How does drain cleaner dissolve hair?

• <div><p>Regardless of the drain cleaner type you choose to use, they all work through chemical reactions that create heat. Thanks to the heat, the clogged hair begins to dissolve until it is able to be flushed away. To avoid clogs in your drain due to hair, use hair catchers and empty them out after every shower.</p></div>

Q: Does pouring water down the toilet help it flush?

• <div><p>Yes, you can pour water down the toilet to help it flush. For each flush, you&rsquo;ll need 1 to 2 gallons of water for newer toilets or 3 to 5 gallons of water for older toilets. Rather than dumping the entire bucket in all at once, pour the water in slowly for the best results. If you&rsquo;re pouring water down the toilet to help it flush after a clog, only use 1 gallon of hot water.</p></div>

Q: Are there alternative solutions for clearing a clog?

• <div><p>There are several <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/5-non-chemical-solutions-clearing-clog.htm">homemade solutions for clearing a clogged sink</a> that don&rsquo;t involve pouring harsh chemicals down your drain. Start by pouring hot (but not boiling) water down the drain. This can help dissolve and flush away grease and gunk. A splash of dish soap down the drain can also cut through fat and make it easier to clear the drain. For a more stubborn blockage, grab a plunger and give it a few firm pumps to dislodge the clog.</p></div>
