You should never pour cooking oil or grease down a drain or flush it down a toilet. Even if it\u2019s in liquid form when you pour it down the drain, it will eventually cool and solidify, resulting in a blockage in your drain and sewer line. Rather than pouring grease down your pipes, always scrape it into the garbage. for more information visit <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mrdrain.com\/appointment.html\">https:\/\/www.mrdrain.com<\/a> <\/strong>to schedule an appointment today.<br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:28px\"><strong>Go Easy on Your Garbage Disposal<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">You should always be careful about what you put in your garbage disposal. You should generally avoid putting any large, fibrous, or tough foods into your disposal, as they can cause damage or clogs. Also, to help prevent food from getting stuck, run cold water down the drain while using your garbage disposal.<br><br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:28px\"><strong>Take Care of Clogged Drains<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p style=\"font-size:22px\">If a drain becomes completely clogged, it\u2019s usually best to call in a professional. <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/mrdrain.com\/appointment.html\">Mr.drain Plumbing<\/a><\/strong> team can remove the blockage and also test the pipe to check for leaks. However, you can also clean your drains once a month to help prevent blockages in your shower, sink, or tub. Start by pouring equal amounts of baking soda and white vinegar down the drain. Then, an hour later, flush it with plenty of warm water.

The best way to avoid this is to simply keep trees and shrubs away from your home\u2019s clean-outs and sewer. However, if there are already trees growing near your sewer line, pay close attention to your drain flow.
