It's that time of the year! Be sure you are avoiding the clog by trashing the FOG to help keep your holidays merry and bright! Fats, oils, and grease belong in the trash, not down your sink! #plumbing #fatsoilsgrease #protectyourpipes #HolidaySeason #HappyHolidays

Having guests over this holiday season? Remind them what not to flush! Here, you can see that toilet paper is the only product to break down completely. Other paper products will cause significant clogs & damages to your #plumbing & the #sewer system. #Flushables #Wastewater
