Keep the Wrong Things Out of Your Drains<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that you\u2019re keeping things out of your drains that aren\u2019t good for them. The first step in doing this is making sure that you know what can and cannot go down your home\u2019s drain system. It\u2019s important to avoid things like the following:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fibrous or starchy vegetables like celery, potatoes, pasta, and rice,\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Eggshells<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Coffee grounds<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">F.O.G. (fat, oil, and grease)<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s important for you to remember that not everything can go down your drain. We understand that you might not remember everything that\u2019s supposed to go down your drain. If you ever feel like you need a reminder, it\u2019s a great idea to put a list up near your sink so you can reference it when you need it most.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>2. Clean Your Sink<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that you\u2019re cleaning your sink when it\u2019s necessary. Cleaning your sink helps you keep problems at bay. Make sure that after you clean dishes or use your sink that you\u2019re wiping it down and keeping harmful debris away from your home\u2019s garbage disposal. This is one of the simplest things you can do to keep your home in top shape.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>3. Don\u2019t Be Tempted By Chemical Drain Cleaners<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We know that chemical drain cleaners seem to be the quick fix when you encounter a drain clog, but this isn\u2019t something that you should be tempted with. These drain cleaners will hurt your drain over time. The chemicals used in them are caustic and harmful to your home\u2019s plumbing system.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>4. Keep Roots Away for Your Sewer Line<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having roots grow toward your sewer line is one of the worst things that can happen to your plumbing system. Make sure that you\u2019re landscaping with this in mind. Don\u2019t plant large trees or bushes too close to your sewer line because it\u2019s highly likely for this to backfire.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>5. Schedule Maintenance Appointments<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Make sure that you\u2019re scheduling maintenance appointments for your home\u2019s plumbing system. Your plumbing system needs maintenance as well. This is something that\u2019s important for your home because it keeps your plumbing system in the best shape possible.
