Almost every drain will become clogged at some point in time. Homeowners in Fort Collins can be proactive by knowing what not to put down the drain to prevent clogs by increasing the health of your drains. While not all clogs are caused by what you put down your drains, avoiding the following items can go a long way:

• Coffee Grounds: Don't let their appearance fool you. Coffee grounds do not dissolve with water. Instead, they clump and get stuck in drains. Always dispose of your coffee grounds in the trash or compost them.
• Hard Water: If your home has hard water, you should consider installing a water softener. The high concentrations of minerals in hard water gradually add deposits of calcium and magnesium to your pipes.
• Fats, Grease, and Oils: These substances are often the culprits when it comes to backed-up kitchen drains. Fats, oils, and grease will solidify in drains and create stubborn clogs by collecting bits of food.

If you use the wrong method to clean your drains, you can cause even more problems. Do not use retail drain cleaners to unclog your drains. These substances are often the worst thing you can put in your drains. The experienced plumbers at Allen Service use professional methods to clean your home's drains. A drain snake may be used to break up clogs in drains. Our team has motorized drain snakes that are more powerful and effective than the hand-crank versions at hardware stores. Those tools can damage your drains if you don't know how to use them properly. When pipes show signs of severe deterioration, replacement may be necessary to restore proper function.
