To ensure your sewer line remains free from clogs and blockages over time, it is important to avoid flushing non-biodegradable items down the toilet, regularly maintain your plumbing system, and schedule professional inspections and cleanings as needed.

The most effective methods for clearing a stubborn clog in a drain without causing damage to the pipes include using a plunger, a drain snake, or a natural solution like a mixture of baking soda and vinegar followed by hot water. Avoid using harsh chemical drain cleaners as they can damage the pipes.

As a licensed plumber, I recommend scheduling routine plumbing maintenance at least once a year. This can include checking for leaks, inspecting pipes for corrosion, testing water pressure, and ensuring all fixtures are working properly. Regular maintenance helps prevent costly repairs and extends the longevity and efficiency of your plumbing system.
