The interval between each drain cleaning largely depends on how frequently you introduce grease and oily food substances into your plumbing system. To prevent kitchen plumbing issues, it’s advisable never to pour grease down the drain. Instead, use a paper towel to remove grease from pots and pans before washing them. Grease that finds its way into residential plumbing tends to congeal within the pipes, eventually causing blockages.
The use of a garbage disposal system can also influence how often you should consider sewer cleaning. Garbage disposals tend to deposit more sludge and debris into your pipes, and many people tend to overuse them when simple waste disposal in the trash can would suffice. Moreover, misuse is quite common, with items like hard, stringy, or fibrous foods (e.g., celery, poultry skin, carrots, pumpkin pulp) being improperly disposed of through the garbage disposal.
