Prevent Sewer Backups

Never put Fats, Oils or Grease (FOG) down the drain. Deposit these materials in the trash.

  • Do not plant deep rooted trees over or immediately adjacent to sewer service pipes.
  • Do not flush any non-flushable items. Follow the Three P’s rule when it comes to what you can safely flush – flush only pee, poop and (toilet) paper.
  • Periodically have your sewer service pipe video inspected by a reputable company and clean the pipe when necessary.
  • Do no place valuable personal property on the floor close to a floor drain. Store personal items at least a few inches off the floor or place inside plastic tubs to protect them in the case of a backup.
