Preventative Maintenance: Your Plumbing's Best Friend: Regular maintenance can save you time, money, and stress in the long run. Here are some key steps:
Clean drains regularly: Use a drain snake or baking soda and vinegar solution to prevent buildup.
Install drain screens: Catch food scraps and hair before they enter the drain.
Don't flush anything except toilet paper: Keep wipes, feminine hygiene products, and other items out of the toilet.
Avoid pouring grease down the drain because it solidifies and clogs pipes.
Invest in a garbage disposal with good grinding capabilities.
