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

  1. Grease or Cooking Oil: Can congeal, harden and cause a disruptive clog
  2. Coffee Grounds: Can easily build up and cause overflowing clogs
  3. Rice: Will expand with water and can block your pipes
  4. Paint: Unsafe to dispose of in your drain and can quickly dry and block water flow
  5. 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.
