			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Step1. Run very hot tap water through the drain after each use. This is one way to keep a drain free of odors. Try to avoid getting vegetable matter or grease in a kitchen drain. Try to avoid letting hair accumulate in bathroom drains. Treat any partially clogged drain promptly.</p>
<p>Step2. Pour a handful of baking soda into the kitchen drain about once a week, then run very hot tap water through it. Or pour 1 c. vinegar or lemon juice in and let it stand for 30 minutes. Then run hot water through the drain. These steps will clean the drain of odors.</p>
<p>Step3. Pour a strong salt brine down the kitchen sink drain regularly to eliminate odors and to keep grease from building up.</p>
<p>Step4. Consider buying a drain cleaner solution. Be sure to read the label regarding its safety for your type of pipes. Make sure the solution is safe for plastic pipes or a garbage disposal, if that’s what you have. The solution can eat away at the grease, food, hair, soap film and organic wastes that tend to clog drains. Usually, treatment with solution once a month will be enough for proper maintenance of your drains, traps and pipes. Be sure to follow the drain cleaner instructions.</p>
<p>Step5. Consider a natural drain cleaner if you don’t like using chemicals. Pour 1/2 c. baking soda into your drain. Follow this with 1/2 c. white vinegar. The baking soda is basic and the vinegar is acidic, so they will react with a churning action that will help keep the drain clean without dangerous chemicals.</p>
<p>Step6. Call Magic Plumbing for anything beyond regular drain cleaning and simple unclogging of drains. For example, if tree roots grow into your house drains, call us for a free estimate we have solitions to eliminate and remove tree roots.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You really should try this before you call Magic Plumbing it doesn’t always work but in many cases it will work if the blockage is a minor one.</p>
<p>Be sure the plunger’s suction cup is large enough to cover the drain opening or your work will be an exercise in futility. You can buy a plunger at any hardware store for less than $10.</p>
<p>1) Fill the clogged basin with enough water to cover the plunger cup.<br />
3) Use wet rags to block any outlets—a sink overflow or second sink—and create a vacuum.<br />
4) Use 15 to 20 smooth and strong strokes once you have a tight seal.<br />
5) Continue plunging create slow of water within the pipe that will create a force to push past the clog.</p>
<p>Plunge for awhile cremember create a suction dont let air escape the small overflow at the rim of the basin.</p>
<p>If still no success call Magic Plumbing a San Francisco Bay Area Plumber at 888-588-7606<br />
