Check your drains
If you find yourself waiting 10-15 minutes for your bathtub to drain or you’re standing in large amounts of water while you shower, this is a sign that there is an issue with your drains. Properly working drains empty water almost instantly. If you’re experiencing these issues, there could be hair and grease that clogs your drains and pipes over time. There is a chance that tree roots have grown into your sewer system. To avoid total pipe blockages, address the issues sooner rather than later. Our expert technicians offer a wide range of drain cleaning services.
Regular cleaning
No one wants to clean themselves in a dirty shower or bathtub. Regular cleaning is important in keeping your bathroom running smoothly and looking pristine. Dirt, debris, and soap that doesn’t wash down the drain can create a hardened surface that forms a residue. Regular cleaning of residues reduces the chance of mildew growing in your showers. Make sure you identify your bathtub or shower manufacturer to get information on the types of cleaners that can be used. Doors can be cleaned with an abrasive cleaner and curtains can be hand washed. On bathtubs and shower surfaces, use a non-abrasive liquid cleaner with a cloth and hot water.
Tile and grout
Many shower walls and flooring are made with tile and grout. However, when grout is in contact with water for long periods, mildew can grow. Mildew is not the only concern since deterioration and damage can occur through regular use. Seal the tiles and grout once a year for additional protection from mildew. You should also check for loose or damaged tiles and cracked grout to prevent water from getting into the wall cavity.
Regular showering and bathtub maintenance can save you time and distress in the future. These simple tips can prevent damage from happening and give you the tools to recognize common signs of pipe issues. Contact Mr.Drain Plumbing for all your home plumbing needs!
