Sewer Cleanouts

Primary cleanouts are usually located on the ground behind each garage.

Maintenance:
Keep this area clear of heavy debris so plumbers can access it quickly if a backup occurs.

Simple Ways to Keep Drains Clear

Hot Water Flush: Pour hot water down your kitchen sink weekly to dissolve fat and grease.
Collect Grease: Never pour grease down the drain. Collect it in a jar and dispose of it in the trash.
Lint Catchers: Install lint traps on your washing machine hose to catch fabric particles.
Drain Strainers: Use strainers in kitchen and bathroom sinks to stop food and hair.
