• Scrape grease and food residue from dishes and pans into garbage bag before putting in your dishwasher or sink.  This will reduce grease build-up in the sewer lines. 
• Unclog drains naturally by pouring 1/4 cup of baking soda down the drain followed by 1/2 cup of white vinegar.  Follow a few minutes later with boiling water.  Pour boiling water down the drains to prevent clogs.
• Avoid release of hair into drains of showers, bath tubs, and wash basins to prevent clogs in the traps and drains.
• Empty washing machine lint into a garbage bag to avoid the discharge of lint into the sewer line.
