If your pipes make irritating hammering noises when you use a faucet, or flush the toilets, you can install shock absorbers to absorb the vibrations and quiet down your pipes.
Liquid grease is your drains worst enemy. If you have a pot or pan full of liquid grease, it is best to pour it into a container, such as an old coffee can. Any congealed grease can be wiped down with a paper towel and disposed of once the pan has cooled.
A garbage disposal is a handy and convenient tool for cleaning up dishes after a meal. Don’t get too greedy with what you think it can handle. Always avoid putting hard-to-grind or fibrous waste down the drain. This includes poultry skin, carrots, banana peels, or potato skins.
Don't use hot water when grinding food waste (although hot water can be drained into disposer between grinding periods). Hot water in the garbage disposer can cause grease to liquefy and accumulate, causing drains to clog.
