Clogged Drains?
An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure.
Harrington House Condo drain pipes need our help clearing organic build-up from the past 50 years. One visiting plumber suggested we treat our pipes every other month with a biological cleaner with enzymes. This product is not a clog buster but a clearing agent. In an article about drain cleaners, Consumer Reports notes:
Biological cleaners, such as Citra-Drain and Zep, use enzymes or bacteria to chew through clogs. Besides posing less of a health risk to humans, biologicals are less likely to harm septic systems because they don’t kill beneficial bacteria. But they’re wimpy when it comes to quickly removing clogs. However, they should be useful at keeping drains free of organic material once clogs have been cleared.
I have been routinely treating my toilets and drains when I change my HVAC filter. Zep Drain Care and Build-up Remover is available at Taylor’s Do-it Center on Colley Avenue. A couple of ounces of this prevention will help keep our drains clear.
