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.

A plunger or drain snake might work for minor clogs. But for more significant issues, it’s usually best to call us for a professional plumber to avoid damaging your pipes.

If sewage is backing up into your home, it’s an emergency. Call us ASAP to prevent damage and health hazards.

Plumbers often use drain snakes (augers), hydro jetters (high-pressure water), and even video cameras to diagnose and clear blockages effectively.
