Good to know about drain cleaning
FEMA 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.
law.cornell.eduEPA advises: never pour cooking oil or grease down the drain, and only flush human waste and toilet paper down the toilet; non-flushable wipes such as baby wipes or other wet wipes should never be flushed.
