\"CloggedFamilies these days are eating healthier diets with less fried foods and fatty meats.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Yet many people don\u2019t realize we must remain diligent in preventing fats, oils and grease discharges down our drains.<\/p>\n

Cooking fats, oil and grease (FOG)<\/strong> are leading causes of clogged drains<\/strong>, back-ups<\/strong>, and sewage spills<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Keeping FOG<\/strong> out of your drains will keep the plumber away, save you money, prevent embarrassing backups, and inconvenient messy cleanups.<\/p>\n

So where\u2019s the grease?<\/strong> How can we trim the fat from our sewers and keep our pipes running smoothly?<\/p>\n

Below is a list of many typical pipe-clogging foods to avoid washing down Colorado Springs drains:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u2022 Oil and butter
\n\u2022 Mayonnaise and sour cream
\n\u2022 Cheese
\n\u2022 Sauces and dips
\n\u2022 Salad dressing
\n\u2022 Cake frosting
\n\u2022 Pie dough
\n\u2022 Gravy
\n\u2022 Turkey and chicken pan drippings
\n\u2022 Fat remaining on plates from BBQ steak<\/p>\n

Eating a healthy diet, low in fat is great for our bodies.<\/p>\n

By also placing our drains on fat-free diets, we help protect the environment and do our part to keep city costs down. Now that\u2019s got to make you feel good all over!<\/p>\n

Tips for fat-free drains:<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scrape food and grease from plates into the trash \u2013 garbage disposals don\u2019t remove grease.<\/p>\n

Place a strainer in your sink drains.<\/p>\n

Pour off cooking grease from pans and bake ware into a resealable can. Let it cool before placing it in the trash.<\/p>\n

Collect turkey frying oil and take it to a Colorado Springs household collection facility for free. The tallow company picks it up and recycles it.<\/p>\n

Of course, we are all human – and being such may forget or overlook some of the offenders and wind up with a clogged drain<\/strong>. If that’s the case, rest assured that your Colorado Springs plumber<\/strong><\/a> can have your drains cleared in no time.<\/p>\n
