3 Common Things That Could Be Destroying Your Home’s Plumbing System

Modern plumbing is a remarkable system that is all too often taken for granted. Though it serves as a vital lifeline that removes waste and brings in fresh, clean water for cooking, drinking, bathing and cleaning, many homeowners don’t give it much thought – that is until a problem arises.

Unfortunately, many of us unknowingly do things that cause backups and other problems with our plumbing systems. Here are three common things that could be destroying your home’s plumbing system.

Things That Could Be Damaging Your Plumbing System Right Now

  1. Trash. If you use your garbage disposal or toilet let like a garbage disposal, you’re setting yourself up for major problems. Paper (other than toilet tissue, glass, metal, plastic and other non-food materials don’t belong in your plumbing system. Also, avoid putting things like bones, fibrous vegetables and fat down your garbage disposal.
  2. Grease. Pouring hot grease down the drain in your kitchen sink is one of the best ways to cause a clog. Even if it makes it past the drains inside your home, it could cause a blockage in your sewer or septic system. Save yourself – and your pipes – by throwing grease away in the trash.
  3. Hair. If you or another member of your family has long hair, you’ve probably had to deal with a clogged shower drain a time or two. Install strainers in all of your shower drains to keep as much hair out of your plumbing as possible.
