What can I do to prevent sewer back ups?
Be careful what you put in the sewer. Items that should not be put into your sewer system include paper towels, diapers, grease and any item that will not dissolve.
What can I dump down the sewers or my drains?
Only domestic waste should be put down a home sewer. No fuel, oils, paint, poisons, fertilizers, or antifreeze should ever be poured down a drain. These substances are harmful to the sewer plant and can cause damage to the collection system, sewer maintenance workers, or your home.
Can I pour cooking grease down the drain?
No. You can clog the piping inside your house by pouring grease down the drain. It can also clog sewer mains and lead to overflows in yards, parks, creeks and streets. Grease also leads to higher costs, as all grease must be removed by expensive manual methods.
Do unused drains dry up and get rough inside?
Yes. If drains aren’t used about once a month, they can get rough inside and cause foul odors to leak into the house.
What is the white buildup that appears around drains and faucets?
The white buildup is mineral deposits.
What is a grease trap?
A hole with a grille for trapping fats, oil and grease in a drainage system.
What is a drain?
A drain takes wastewater from a single property.
