How to Prevent Clogged Drains Before They Start

Most drain clogs are avoidable with a few simple habits. A little prevention beats an emergency call on a Sunday night.

Keep grease out of the kitchen sink

Cooking grease looks like a liquid going down but hardens as it cools, coating your pipes and catching everything else. Pour it into a container and toss it in the trash instead.

Use drain screens

Inexpensive mesh screens in your kitchen and shower drains catch food scraps and hair before they ever reach the pipe. Empty them regularly.

Flush with hot water, skip the chemicals

A weekly flush of hot water helps keep buildup moving. Harsh chemical cleaners can actually damage older pipes, so it’s better to clear a stubborn clog properly.
