FAQs
Basement drain backups often occur due to debris accumulation or a dry P-trap. Avoid washing debris into drains and periodically flush drains with white vinegar and baking soda to maintain cleanliness.
Regularly pour water down the drain to check for clogs and use pipe-safe liquid drain cleaners as needed. Schedule professional cleaning if major clogs persist.
