Get Rid of FOG to Avoid a Clog

Monday, August 22nd, 2022

When we say the word “FOG” on a plumbing blog, we’re not talking about the weather phenomenon. What we’re talking about is an acronym that stands for fats, oils, and grease, and it’s used by plumbers all over the world who maintain drains and sewer systems. There’s a very good reason for this acronym that we’ll get into in a bit, but the moral of the story is that you should only flush water and other liquids down your drain—not materials that are only sometimes liquids.

This blog post is going to be all about the science behind fats, oils, and greases, and why that can be especially devastating for your plumbing system. Then, we’ll briefly cover how you can just call our team for drain cleaning in Parma, OH so you can keep your plumbing system in good shape for the future.

Mix best practices with professional service and you’ll be set up for success.
