Kitchen drains clog from grease, food particles, and soap buildup. Bathroom drains collect hair, soap scum, and toothpaste. Main lines can be blocked by tree roots, flushed items that shouldn't be flushed, or pipe deterioration. Slow drains often indicate buildup that will eventually cause a complete blockage. Addressing it early is easier and cheaper.

During the holidays, keep turkey grease out of the drain entirely, and avoid putting potato peels or fibrous foods down the garbage disposal. Run cold water for 30 seconds after using the disposal. In bathrooms with extra guests, use drain covers to catch hair. Never flush anything but toilet paper, not even 'flushable' wipes. Consider scheduling a preventive drain cleaning before hosting large gatherings.
