Give me a J Trap and I’m a dangerous woman!  I’ve learned how to tackle my plumbing and for some reason I have a bit of  a sick fascination with the satisfaction that comes from solving a plumbing problem.  One minute we’ve got a red alert on our hands-there’s a slow drain on the homefront.  No fear, the organized mom plumber is here!  I quickly pull my neatly organized supplies from under the sink, grab an organizing bin (of course) to place under the pipes and get to work.  I will spare you the rest of the details.  Needless to say, at the end the day I am the proud owner of smoothly draining pipes without the use of chemicals-it’s all in a day’s work!

To prevent pipes from having problems in the first place, try this environmentally friendly way to maintain your pipes.  Place baking soda and vinegar down your drain.  Let it sit for a few minutes and then flush it down with boiling water.  If preventative maintainence doesn’t do the trick:  I charge double for plumbing!
