Prevent Clogged Pipes

How to prevent clogged pipes is a common question we are asked. We thought it would be beneficial to share some of our top tips. Avoiding clogged pipes in the first place is the best route. Dealing with clogs is never fun and if the problem persists, it can become expensive. So, let’s discuss some of the easiest steps you can take to prevent clogged pipes.

Steps to Prevent Clogged Pipes

• Drain Strainer: A drain strainer is your friend. Keeping your drain free of unnecessary debris is the easiest route in preventing clogged pipes.
• Run Water with Your Disposal: Running water when you use your disposal is key. Keeping debris moving down the pipe helps to keep them from clogging.
• No Grease or Oil: Do not put grease or oil down your drain. We know it is tempting but it can cause far more damage than it is worth.
• Run Hot Water After Washing Dishes: When you have finished washing or rinsing your dishes, run hot water to clear any residual grease or oil.
• Toilet Tissue Only: Only use toilet tissue paper in the toilet. Avoiding all other products will keep your pipes flowing as they should. Even if products say they are safe, it is best to only flush toilet paper.
• Garbage Disposal: Avoid coffee grounds, bones, grease, fruit and vegetable peels in your disposal.
