Living in an apartment means your drains are connected to a larger building system, making preventive care even more important. A clog in your unit can affect neighbors or lead to bigger building-wide issues.

To stop common clogs, be mindful of what goes down your drains. In the kitchen, never pour cooking grease; it solidifies and builds up in pipes. Use a drain strainer to catch food scraps. In the bathroom, hair is the main culprit. Use a hair catcher in the shower, and do not flush anything but toilet paper and human waste down the toilet. Wipes and hygiene products simply do not break down.

Occasionally, flush drains with hot water after use. If you notice slow drainage or foul odors, address them promptly. Do not use harsh chemical cleaners, as they can damage pipes.
