While hydro jetting the drain lines last week, we noticed a lot of buildup, which could have been easily prevented with your cooperation. Please help reduce buildup by being mindful of what you put down the sinks and toilets.
To help prevent your kitchen sink from clogging caused by blocked drainpipes, here are a list of foods you should never put down the sink:
1. Cooking Oil, Grease and Other Fats – for example grease from cooking bacon or other meats
2. Coffee Grinds
3. Eggshells
4. Rice & Pasta – can easily slip down the drain and will absorb water and swell.
5. Seeds and Grains
6. Flour – mixed with water forms glue like paste which causes build up in the drain and other food to stick to it
7. Potato Peels & Onion Skins
Also, please be reminded that your toilet is not a trash can. To prevent a clogged toilet, here are some items to avoid putting in the toilet:
1. Paper Towels
2. Cotton Balls & Swabs
3. Food, including oil and grease
4. Feminine products
5. Disposable Wipes
6. Baby Diapers & Wipes
7. Plastic Items, like band-aids & dental floss
