Are there any tips I can use to prevent clogged drains?

Common things that clog drains in your bathroom and kitchen sinks include hair, soap chips, cooking oils, fats, food particles, and many other items. To prevent drain clogs, do the following:

Use a drain screen in bath and shower drains to prevent unnecessary blockage. Clean drain screens regularly.
Clean out the stoppers in your sink. Any excess gunk that is left in your sink stoppers can slow down water flow.
Refrain from pouring substances like grease, cooking oils, and chemicals down your drains. Grease and oils can harden in your pipes and chemicals can erode pipes.
To make sure your pipes are passing water at maximum capacity, pour boiling water down your drains to clear out any potential substance build-up.
