Preventative Care & Maintenance
It is important to properly care for all the different aspects of your home. Here are some helpful tips.
5 Items You Should Never Pour Down Your Drain
- Grease or Cooking Oil: Can congeal, harden and cause a disruptive clog
- Coffee Grounds: Can easily build up and cause overflowing clogs
- Rice: Will expand with water and can block your pipes
- Paint: Unsafe to dispose of in your drain and can quickly dry and block water flow
- Eggshells: Membranes of the shells can wrap around other items in your drain
Do you regularly flush wet wipes down the toilet? If so, you could have a plumbing problem in the making. Even wipes that are deemed “flushable: can cause damage to your system that could require costly repairs.
4 REASONS TO NEVER FLUSH WIPES:
- They don’t disintegrate even months after use
- They can combine with fat, grease and other waster to form hardened drain clogs
- They can get caught in webs of tree toots that often infest older sewer systems
- They can cause blockages in your sewer or septic that cannot be cleared with a simple drain service.
