While professional intervention is the best way to resolve drain blockages and head off future issues, you can lessen your chance of developing clogs with simple daily practices. Some tips for preventative maintenance include the following:
- Never pour grease or oil into the sink; collect it in a container and throw it away responsibly.
- Place a strainer or stopper over your drain to catch food scraps and block debris.
- Flush your drains with hot water regularly to reduce buildup.
- Always run cold water while operating the garbage disposal to help fats solidify for easier disposal.
