Do not pour grease down your drain!

Tuesday, April 14th, 2026

Pouring grease down the drain might seem like no big deal… until it turns into a major plumbing problem. As grease cools, it hardens inside your pipes, sticking to the walls and trapping food particles, debris, and buildup. Over time, this creates stubborn clogs that can lead to slow drains, backups, and even sewer line damage.

What not to do:

• Pour cooking oil or grease down the sink
• Rinse pans with hot water and assume it’s “gone”

What to do instead:

• Let grease cool and dispose of it in the trash
• Wipe pans before washing
• Schedule routine drain maintenance to keep things flowing

A little prevention now can save you from a messy (and expensive) problem later. Call KMB today for professional drain cleaning and hydro jetting services.
