Recommended Frequency
How often your drainage system requires cleaning will depend upon your household’s habits. Typically, households utilizing a garbage disposal will require cleaning more often than those that do not. If family members routinely pour food particulates, oil, grease and fats in the sink (with or without a disposal), the drain and sewer lines will require cleaning more frequently. Household’s where family members shave in a sink or tub without separate disposal of hair are likely to require more frequent drain cleaning.

A problem with all drains can indicate a problem with the sewer line itself.

Toilet
A toilet is designed to dispose of bath tissue and human waste only, anything else should be disposed of in the trash. This includes not flushing any baby or personal wipes, including those that claim to be safe to flush. As an added tip, it is best to not use shelves over the toilet to avoid items from falling in.
