When you think of household chores,
you would probably list down
sweeping and mopping, dusting,
vacuuming, washing the dishes,
washing and ironing clothes, and
cooking. These household chores
include those we physically see inside
the house.
What about those buried
underground? Or those right behind
the walls? What about your pipes? Do

sound new to you? Well, welcome to

Keeping your house healthy includes
everything that you cannot see as well.
If you do not know how to clean drains,

Importance of Cleaning Out the
Drain
Well-maintained or clean drains mean
keeping the internal organs of your
house healthy. All wastewater from
your home goes down the drain.
If you do not regularly clean the
drains, water and everything else that
goes down can build up and become
stagnant. When your plumbing
system can't breathe in anymore, it
can cause the following:

Thus walls become stained or,
worse, weak.
Mold can grow in between your
walls. Mold is harmful to your
house and your health.
Risk of flooding during a

clogged, where else will the water

When you regularly clean out your
drain, you are preventing leakage from
your sewage system. As you may have
known, a leak in the sewage system is no
joke and no easy task. Aside from the
stinky smell, it also poses health risks
for the whole household.

If you think of everything that goes
down the drain, you could probably

and can eventually cause blockage.
