How to Spot a Drainage Problem

Tips for Preventing Drainage Issues

Preventing drainage problems is easier than fixing them once they’ve already happened. A few things you can do to help keep your drains clear include:

• Don’t pour grease, oil, or fat down the drain. Instead, pour it into a can and throw it away once it’s solidified.
• Don’t put coffee grounds, egg shells, or other food waste down the garbage disposal. Throw these items in the trash instead.
• Clean out your sink’s P-trap regularly. This is the U-shaped pipe under your sink that catches hair and other debris.
• Run hot water down your drains for a minute each week to help keep them clear.

By following these tips, you can help keep your drains clear and prevent major issues down the road.
