F.O.G. is a problem because these substances quickly settle into soft solids from their oil state. This means that it\u2019s going to trickle down into your drain and settle there. As other substances travel down your drain, they\u2019re going to get caught and develop clogs. The more time goes on, the more the clog will develop and become a major issue.<\/p>\n<h3>2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Never Ignore a Leak<\/h3>\n<p>Even if the leak you\u2019re experiencing is a small, tiny leak, you should schedule an appointment for plumbing work. Leaks are something that can build up in intensity faster than you\u2019d realize. If you let it go unchecked, you\u2019re risking extreme water damage. A leak doesn\u2019t just impact your home\u2019s plumbing. It can potentially lead to you replacing flooring, appliances, or other parts of your kitchen and the surrounding area.<\/p>\n<h3>3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Call for a Clog<\/h3>\n<p>You\u2019ve got a clog in your home but it\u2019s something that you think you can handle on your own. Although we understand that clogs don&#8217;t seem like the worst problem in the world, a clog is a real problem. It has the potential to bubble over into a bigger plumbing issue if you\u2019re consistently trying to just lessen the problem rather than solve it at its source.<\/p>\n<h3>4.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Avoid Chemical Drain Cleaner<\/h3>\n<p>We just talked about clogs above and the common solution to a mild clog is a chemical drain cleaner. We want you to give it a second thought before you go for this though. Chemical drain cleaners are <em>way <\/em>too harsh for your home\u2019s plumbing. It\u2019s going to lead to your pipes wearing down over time and it could potentially lead to leaks.<\/p>\n<h3>5.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Pay Mind to Your Dishwasher Too<\/h3>\n<p>Sometimes people don\u2019t directly consider their home\u2019s dishwasher when it comes to their home plumbing. This is a big factor in your kitchen though. Make sure you\u2019re taking an extra second to scrape off grease and scraps from your dishes, so they aren\u2019t causing problems in your dishwasher. This is something that\u2019s going to help you in the long run.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><a href=\"\/contact\/schedule-service\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Contact Modern Plumbing Industries, Inc for the plumbing services you\u2019d like today.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Here are five ways you can keep your kitchen plumbing in good shape.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[176],"tags":[121,80,337],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.modernpi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4840"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.modernpi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.modernpi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.modernpi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.modernpi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=4840"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.modernpi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4840\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4844,"href":"https:\/\/www.modernpi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/4840\/revisions\/4844"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.modernpi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4840"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.modernpi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=4840"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.modernpi.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4840"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
