How to Prevent Sewer Drain Blockages

Sewer drain blockages can cause significant plumbing issues, but you can avoid them with a few simple practices. Here are the best ways to keep your drains clear:

  • No Grease in Drains – Grease solidifies in pipes, leading to blockages. Always dispose of grease in the bin.
  • Use Drain Strainers – Strainers catch hair, food scraps, and debris, preventing them from clogging your pipes.
  • Proper Waste Disposal – Avoid putting food scraps, coffee grounds, and fibrous materials down the sink.
  • Only Flush Toilet Paper – Other items like wipes, towels, or sanitary products can clog the drain.
  • Clean Drains Regularly – Pour boiling water down drains to remove grease build-up. Baking soda and vinegar work well too.
  • Check for Slow Drains – A slow drain can signal a blockage, so deal with it before it worsens.

These tips can keep your sewer lines running smoothly and avoid costly repairs. Regular maintenance is key to preventing issues down the road.
