Pouring grease down the drain might seem like a convenient way to dispose of it, but it can lead to serious plumbing issues and costly repairs. At SOS Drain & Sewer Service, we recommend avoiding this common mistake to keep your drains flowing smoothly.
Causes Clogs
Grease Solidifies
When hot grease cools down in your pipes, it solidifies and can create a blockage. Over time, this can lead to a clogged drain that requires professional cleaning to remove.
Mixes with Other Debris
Grease can trap other debris in your pipes, such as food particles and soap scum, creating a stubborn clog that is difficult to remove.
Harms the Environment
Contaminates Water
Grease that makes its way into waterways can contaminate the water and harm aquatic life. It is important to dispose of grease properly to protect the environment.
Causes Odors
Creates Foul Smells
As grease builds up in your pipes, it can start to decompose and create foul odors that can spread throughout your home.
