Video: How to Avoid Clogged Kitchen Drains

I would say the most common call that we get for residential services are clogged drains, and this is usually due to people letting things like food scraps, grease, and coffee grounds go down their sink. Over time, this causes buildup causing a slow drainage or even a complete backup of your drainage system.

So a general rule of thumb is to always use a strainer and make sure you're catching as much debris as possible before it goes down the sink. And any food scraps that you have, throw that into the trash before you put that into the sink. 

To go one step further, my pro tip is that once a month you run a pot of hot water down your sink. And right after that, you put half a cup of baking soda, cup of vinegar. Let that sit for about 10 minutes and then put another pot of hot water. This should dislodge a lot of that buildup that you have and prevent any larger issues down the line.
