Townhomes have sewage ejector pumps. Would like a company to clean out sewage pit of non-bio products and verify that pumps are working 100%.

Drain Issues
Clogged drains are some of the most common plumbing problems plaguing American homes. Prevention is always better than cure when it comes to keeping your drains clean. Never flush large objects, diapers, feminine products or paper towels down your toilet. Similarly, never use your kitchen sink as a trash can. Don't pour grease or shove, coffee grounds, banana peals, tea bags, bones and egg shells down your disposer. Make it habit of regularly running hot water down your drain to keep it clog free. Limit your use of non biodegradable laundry detergent, and use strainer covers to keep your bath tubs and shower drains free of clogs. Clean your strainers regularly.
If you do end up with a clogged drain, you can use your trusted plunger to clean your drain in an emergency. The inexpensive plunger is an extremely important plumbing tool to have in every home. The main aim with using a plunger is to create enough suction by pushing the cup against the drain, and pulling it up again. Remember to cover other drain outlets before you use a plunger. You may need to plunge at least a few times to dislodge the clog. Plungers can be used to remove clogs from blocked toilets, kitchen sinks and bathroom shower drains. In case your plunger doesn't work, try using a drain cleaning snake to hook the clog, and fish it out of the drain.
It doesn't take much to keep your drain clog free. Be careful of what you push down your kitchen sink or toilet, use tub and shower strainer covers to catch stray hairs and pieces of soap, and run hot water down your drains regularly. If you find yourself with a clogged drain that you simply can't fix, hire a professional drain cleaner to help clean your drain. We can help you find the best drain cleaning services for your needs.
