Don’t Rinse Grease and Oil From Your Dishes Down the Sink

After preparing and eating our meals, many people throw their dishes in the sink to wash away the grease and oil. Grease and oil residue can clog pipes, causing them to clog and eventually clogging your kitchen sink. Instead, wipe up the oil and grease with a paper towel when you’re done washing dishes. Boil some water in the sink after a week of washing or after the vacations when you’ve done a lot of cooking. The hot water will loosen all the oil and grease residue that has accumulated in the pipes and clean them.

Enure All Kitchen and Bathroom Siphons Are Cleaned Regularly

Floor traps are designed to prevent dirt from entering the pipes and clogging them. This is especially true for hair traps in the bathroom. You’ll be surprised at how much hair accumulates on family members over a week. To keep it simple, don’t throw strands of hair into the toilet bowl.

Pay Attention to What You Put In the Toilet Bowl

Don’t be lazy, treat the toilet bowl like a trash can and empty any hard-to-dispose-of items like tissues, cotton swabs, and yes, even Pampers and tampons. My plumber told me that these items are often found in the homeowners’ toilet bowl. If you have a maid (as is the case in many Singaporean households), make sure she knows that she can use these products in the homeowners’ toilets.

Build a Bog, a Water Garden, or a Pond

This useful construction can be done in the house’s wet area. You may need professional assistance if you want to carefully shape the land so that water can continue flowing. A small garden will encourage wildlife to use the wet areas of your home as drinking spots.

All in All

With a little effort and maintenance, you can avoid some plumbing emergencies. While this doesn’t mean you won’t have to call a plumber in an emergency, it does reduce the likelihood of having to do so often.
