Curious if anyone here recommends any maintenance for keeping the drains flowing?
Reason I ask is I just had my shower drain start backing up after two years of use (new construction). I bought one of those plastic hair snakes and removed a bunch of hair buildup and possible soap scum?…it is flowing good as new now.
I’ve read online articles that suggest the use of different products for use as maintenance to prevent this. The two ones that I questioned were the enzyme based drain cleaners, or lye crystals.
Any truth behind this? I have all PVC pipes. Or should I just wait until a problem arises and snake it?
Thanks!
