Preventive drain care keeps your plumbing flowing smoothly and helps stop costly clogs. Simple habits go a long way in protecting your pipes from common blockages.

In the kitchen, never pour cooking grease or oil down the sink; it solidifies and clings to pipe walls, trapping food particles. Instead, let it cool and dispose of it in the trash. Use drain strainers in all sinks to catch food scraps and coffee grounds before they enter your plumbing system.

Hair is the main culprit in bathrooms. Install drain covers in showers and bathtubs to trap hair. Avoid flushing anything other than toilet paper down the toilet. Wipes, paper towels, and hygiene products cause significant clogs.

Periodically, flush your drains with hot water after use to help clear minor residue. Do not use chemical drain cleaners, as they can damage pipes over time.
