    7 Smart Tips to Avoid Sewer Blockages & Backups

    You can do a lot to keep your sewer and drains happy! Here are some professional tips to help you avoid those frustrating blockages and backups:

    1. Don't Flush "Non-Flushables": This is a big one! Never flush wipes (even "flushable" ones), paper towels, feminine hygiene products, or anything other than toilet paper. They're a leading cause of blockages.
    2. Use Drain Strainers: Put strainers in your sinks and showers to catch hair, food scraps, and other debris before it can go down the drain.
    3. Properly Dispose of Grease: Grease and oils are a huge enemy of drains. Always pour cooled grease into a disposable container (like an old coffee can) and throw it in the trash – never down the drain.
    4. Clean Your Drains Regularly: Periodically clean your drains using a natural solution like baking soda and vinegar, or schedule a professional cleaning to keep them clear.
    5. Maintain Your Sewer Line: Consider regular sewer line inspections. This helps us detect tiny cracks or tree root intrusions early, before they become a major problem.
    6. Be Smart About Tree Roots: If you're planting new trees, pick a spot far away from your sewer lines. Tree roots love water and can quickly invade pipes, causing blockages.
    7. Don't Overload Garbage Disposals: Feed small amounts of food waste into your garbage disposal at a time. Also, avoid putting in tough items like bones, corn husks, or fibrous vegetables.

    The Power of Hydro Jetting

    If you've got a stubborn clog that just won't budge, or you want to give your pipes a really deep clean, hydro jetting might be the answer for your Bradenton home or business.

    Benefits of Hydro Jetting:

    • Seriously Effective Clog Removal: It blasts away all kinds of clogs, like grease buildup, invading tree roots, and other debris that can really gum up your pipes.
    • Super Thorough Cleaning: It doesn't just remove the clog; it cleans the entire inside of your pipe walls, helping to prevent future gunk from sticking around.
    • Great for Prevention: Regular hydro jetting can act as a preventative measure, helping you avoid those surprise, costly repairs down the line.
    • Non-Invasive: This method is fantastic because it doesn't require digging up your yard or tearing into your walls.
    • Eco-Friendly: It uses only water, making it a green choice for your plumbing.
