Drains are usually installed underground, and they are the network of pipes that are responsible for taking waste water and sewage away from our premises. Poorly maintained drains can lead to a variety of problems or even attract pests.
Tips
Keeping your sink clean and regularly using a good cleaning solution and scrubbing brush may help deter drain flies.
Boiling water poured down the plughole on a regular basis is also an effective solution.
A heavy-duty drain cleaner or unblocker may also prevent pests. This allows deep cleaning beneath the surface level, on parts we cannot see.
Natural remedies such as baking soda are also great for cleaning sinks and plugs.
