A great tip to use to stop your septic tank from backing up is to make sure you have it pumped at least every five years. This prevents sediment from building up in the tank and causing a backup into your home or causing the failure of the septic system itself.

Look at the overflow holes to ensure they aren't clogged up. Overflow holes divert water when a sink starts to fill up.

You can check for damage to the floors around the toilets by checking for soft areas. Straddle the toilet, so you can rock from one leg to another to determine whether there's weakness in the floor.

Avoid dumping oil, fat, and grease in your drain. Whenever they cool, they tend to harden and make clogs inside your drains.

The best thing to do is to dispose of oil-based liquids away from your sinks.

Trash should go in the trash basket, not the toilet. Use the toilet for what it is designed for, and it won't give you a lot of problems.

Additionally, use the minimum amount of toilet paper required to clean up after you are done.

When you replace your shower head, be sure that the replacement head is high quality. Some people think they can get away with the cheapest version at the store. However, they are inexpensive for a reason, this being that they are cheaply made and tend to break a lot easier.

Your pipes will soon be clear of accumulated hair and soap scum.
