Q: Why is my dishwasher so loud while draining?

• <div><p>The drain pump will naturally make a standard operational and draining sound several times throughout your dishwasher cycle. If you hear abnormally loud sounds like scraping, grinding, or clicking, you may have food debris or a piece of glass stuck in your drain filter. <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/4-tips-avoid-dishwasher-repair.htm">Avoid dishwasher repair</a> by always scraping food off your dishes and loading the racks correctly.</p></div>

Q: Do septic tanks clog easily?

• <div><p>Septic tanks can clog if they aren&rsquo;t pumped every few years since solid waste accumulates inside of them. Your tank might also clog if you have a habit of flushing anything other than human waste or toilet paper. Items like diapers, baby wipes, paper towels, cat litter, and personal hygiene products should never go down your pipes.</p></div>

Q: How do I prevent a drain clog?

• <div><p>The first rule of plumbing is nothing but water, toilet paper, number one, and number two go down the drain. </p><p>To prevent clogs, get yourself:</p><ul><li><p>A compast pail where you can clean plates, drain grease, and toss scraps and paper towels. </p></li><li><p>Drain screens for the shower, tub, and bathroom sink to stop hair, jewelry, toys, etc. from going down the drain.</p></li><li><p>Trash cans for everything that shouldn&rsquo;t go down the drain, like dental floss, hygiene products, and cat litter.</p></li></ul><p><b>P.S.:</b> If you do drop your priceless ring down the drain, take a deep breath, and then <a href="https://www.angi.com/articles/how-retrieve-jewelry-drain.htm">follow these steps to retrieve jewelry from your drain</a>. </p></div>

Q: Can I pour paint down the drain?

• <div><p>No. You should never pour old paint down a drain or sewer because it can clog pipes and pollute the environment. You must dispose of paint properly and safely. Different types of paint need to be disposed of in different ways&mdash;oil-based paints must be taken to a paint recycling center, while you can throw dried-out water- or latex-based paints in the garbage. </p></div>

Q: How do you avoid future clogs?

• <div><p>Using less toilet paper is the easiest way to prevent future clogs. Also, avoid flushing sanitary products, thick paper towels, or hair down the toilet. If you&rsquo;ve been using a brick in the tank to reduce the water used to flush the toilet, take it out immediately. Bricks will eventually fall apart and clog your toilet drain. Keeping your toilet lid closed also helps avoid future clogs.</p></div>

Overall very satisfied. The quality of the new roof appears very high. The staff were always professional and easily to deal with. The roof replacement was completed fairly quickly and well done. When the job was complete they did a great job of cleaning the whole yard. Highly recommended.
