Blocked plumbing can be a real headache. Not only can it cause problems within individual homes, but it can also negatively impact an entire neighborhood. Therefore, it's crucial to be diligent in preventing blockages and to take the necessary precautions in a timely manner. However, inevitably, foreign objects can end up in the drain pipes, causing them to clog.
In one country, a video of hair being pulled out of a drain pipe went viral on social media. The video was shared with the caption, 'Ladies, please gather your hair after showering.'

What can be done to prevent such a situation from occurring?
1. Use a Drain Strainer (Most Crucial Step): You can install a metal or silicone drain strainer to catch hair in your shower drain. This simple step can prevent such problems by up to 99%.
2. Brush Your Hair Before Showering: If you brush your hair before getting in the shower, most of the dead hair strands will remain in the brush, reducing the risk of clogging the drain.
3. Regular Hot Water and Baking Soda Cleaning: Pour plenty of hot water down the drain once a week. Once a month, you can prevent grease buildup on the pipe walls by doing a natural cleaning with a mixture of baking soda and vinegar.
4. Avoid Chemical Drain Openers: Using chemical openers too frequently can corrode the pipes and, instead of completely eliminating the hair mass, it may only dissolve part of it, making it even stickier.
5. Professional Maintenance: If your water has started to drain slowly, you can prevent the problem from escalating (reaching the stage in the video) by seeking help from a plumber to clean the pipes with high-pressure water.
