It\u2019s going to help you keep your home clean, healthy, and cost-effective.<\/p>\n<h3>1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Avoid F.O.G.<\/h3>\n<p>F.O.G. stands for fat, oil, and grease. These are three things that you should <em>always <\/em>avoid when it comes to your home\u2019s plumbing system. These substances have the ability to cake up and\u00a0clog\u00a0your home\u2019s\u00a0drains.<\/p>\n<p>We know that things get hectic during the holiday season and some of your \u201cbest practices\u201d might go flying out the window. Don\u2019t make this one of them. This is likely to cause you expensive repair problems in the future.<\/p>\n<h3>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Never Use Chemical Drain Cleaners<\/h3>\n<p>We know that if you encounter a clog your knee-jerk reaction might be to run to your local store and pick up a chemical drain cleaner. You should know though that these drain cleaners are terrible for your plumbing long-term. Yes, this might handle the issue you\u2019re having for now, but it\u2019s going to wear your plumbing down in the long-run.\u00a0The solutions also won&#8217;t fully get rid of the build-up in your drain.<\/p>\n<h3>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Don\u2019t Ignore Leaks<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s something dripping underneath your sink, but you don\u2019t want to call a professional to handle it right now. You\u2019re having a hectic holiday season picking up gifts and cooking up meals. You\u2019re going to try to patch it up on your own and deal with this later.<\/p>\n<p>This isn\u2019t what you want to do! You\u2019re only giving this problem an opportunity to worsen. Reach out to us to fix your leaking pipes.<\/p>\n<h3>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Know What to Flush<\/h3>\n<p>Do you know what you should flush? Those \u201cflushable\u201d wipes really aren\u2019t helpful though. They might advertise themselves as flushable, but\u00a0these are the perfect storm for a toilet clog. It\u2019s going to back up in your pipes and cause a clog or a slow-down in your home. Knowing what to flush will save you a great deal of grief.<\/p>\n<h3>5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Note Low Waterflow<\/h3>\n<p>If you notice that your home\u2019s waterflow starts to decrease over this season then it means that you should pick up the phone and call us. We\u2019re lucky that we live in Florida where the weather is warm year-round. This means that you won\u2019t have to deal with low waterflow due to pipe freezes. You might have to deal with this issue because of bad build-up though.
