Clogged drains are one of the more common issues when it comes to plumbing problems. Drains are easily clogged by hair.

Cleaning hair from the screen is a much easier affair than it would be to get the hair out of the pipe.

Don't pour oils, grease or fat down the drain. They might be in liquid form, but after they cool off, they will solidify and make a clog in your drain pipe. This can make your garbage disposal run slower. Throw away oils nowhere near the sink.
