Preventing Grease Build Up In Pipeworks
While the use of some fats, oils and grease is vital for cooking, they are not good at all for the drains and pipes in your plumbing systems. Here at Total Drainage Services, our plumbing experts will help you to avoid these costly plumbing repairs by letting you know some of the ways you can avoid greasy drains:
- Avoid putting grease down the drains
- Invest in grease traps
- Recycle your cooking oils and grease

Tree Roots
Tree roots are one of the main causes of blockages and clogs in water and sewer mains. Some experts say the first sign of tree root invasion into the sewer of the water line is a gurgling sound.
