It’s our hope that you made it through the holiday season without any huge plumbing mishaps. After all, it’s the most popular time of the year to need a plumber, whether it’s for clogged plumbing in the kitchen or in the bathroom of your home.

In the meantime, there are some things you can do to prevent drain clogs from forming, to begin with. Read on to learn more.
