Prevent Clogs Before They Start

- Avoiding pouring grease, oil, or fat down the drain
- Regularly using drain cleaner or baking soda/vinegar
- Not putting fibrous foods in the garbage disposal
Unclog a Backed-Up Drain
If you do have a clogged drain, try these steps before calling a plumber:
- Use a plunger to dislodge the clog.
- Try a drain snake or auger to break up the blockage.
- Mix baking soda and vinegar, let sit 30 mins, then flush with hot water.
- As a last resort, use a chemical drain cleaner cautiously.
Regular maintenance and quick action when clogs occur will help keep kitchen drains clear and prevent more serious plumbing issues. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact the QuickServe team.
