Routine practices to help keep household drains clear

SHA advises residents to follow routine practices to prevent blocked or frozen household pipes. Key preventative measures include using strainers to catch hair and debris, running hot water weekly to clear soap residue, and never pouring oil or grease down the sink. Instead of using harsh chemical cleaners that can damage pipes, opt for a natural mix of baking soda and vinegar.

Watch for early warning signs like slow draining, bad odours, or gurgling sounds. Never aggressively use plungers or dismantle plumbing yourself. If preventative steps fail and blockages persist, contact SHA promptly to arrange a repair.
