How To Prevent Sewer Clogs

A clogged sewer line is a homeowner’s worst nightmare. It is a problem that requires the expertise of a professional plumber. Below are some steps you can take to prevent this scenario from happening altogether.

Prevent Clogging The Porcelain Throne

What you put down the toilet could come back to haunt you. There are certain items that should never be flushed down the toilet, including: diapers, paper towels, cotton swabs, gauze, moist wipes and feminine hygiene products. This can reduce the risk of clogging your sewer line.

Avoid Tub and Sink Clogs

It is also important to remember that certain things should never make their way down the drain, such as: oil and grease. Instead, dispose of these liquids in the garbage can. Adding a strainer to your shower, tub and sink can catch hair and other pieces of debris right in their tracks.

Are clogs a run-of-the-mill problem in your home? If so, your sewer system should be inspected. If you think that you may have a plumbing issue within your sewer and drain, our video inspection service can assess your plumbing and pinpoint the problems.
