Avoid costly clogs in your home plumbing system this holiday season and keep fats, oils, and grease (FOG) out of your pipes. Basic repairs for sewer line damage can average $400 with extensive damage costing an average of $10,000 in repairs. There are ways that you can help to prevent clogs in your home and neighborhood:

• Dispose of all FOG in the trash.
• Place FOG in a can or jar and let it cool. Scrape all excess, so nothing goes down the drain.
• FOG isn’t just greasy residue. Fats and oils can be found in cream sauces and gravy.
• Not sure if it has fats, oils, or grease in it? When in doubt, throw it out.
• Help spread the word on keeping FOG where it belongs to keep the community and environment safe.
