Partially Blocked Sewer Line

This is a photo of a partially blocked sewer pipe. Grease builds up over time, turning as hard as stone and preventing your wastewater from flowing past it. As you can imagine, this will cause a sewer backup in your home!

Remember:

Fight FOG

Remember, fats, oil and grease should never go down the drain. You should pour it into a glass or metal container, let it cool and then throw it in the trash. Save yourself a lot of money and headache by spending a little bit of time in the kitchen disposing of FOG properly!
