Good to know about drain cleaning
FEMA's urban flooding guidance advises not flushing objects, sanitary products, wipes or excessive toilet paper, and not pouring grease, fats and oils down the kitchen sink, because they can block sewer pipes and the lateral connection.
fema.govFEMA recommends keeping basement floor drains clear of debris and obstructions and having a licensed plumber inspect and clean the sewer lateral to remove debris and tree roots.
fema.govMassachusetts plumbing regulations (248 CMR 3.05) list 'the clearance of a stoppage' as work that does not require a plumbing permit; repairs that alter or replace piping generally do.
