Why You Shouldn’t Pour That Down the Drain

Your kitchen sink is not a magical black hole for all your waste. Some things belong in the trash, not your pipes! Here’s what NOT to pour down the drain (and why):

  1. Grease and Oil That bacon grease might be liquid now, but once it cools in your pipes, it turns solid and creates clogs. Think of it as glue for other gunk!
  2. Coffee Grounds They seem small, but coffee grounds clump together in water. Over time, they’ll build up and block your pipes. Toss them in the trash or use them in your garden instead.
  3. Harsh Chemicals Dumping drain cleaners or other harsh chemicals might seem like a quick fix, but they can corrode your pipes and create bigger problems later. Always use gentle solutions or call a pro.

Protect your pipes and save yourself a future headache. And if you’ve already poured the wrong stuff down the drain, don’t stress. Just call Leary Plumbing in Platte City, MO. They’ll clean things up and have your pipes running smoothly in no time!
