Keep Fats, Oils, and Grease Out of Your Drains

Hey, I’m Dennis from Veteran Plumbing Services—and if you’ve ever poured bacon grease or leftover oil down the kitchen sink, you’re not alone. But here’s the thing: fats, oils, and grease (FOG) are one of the biggest reasons homeowners call me with clogged drains. In this article, I break down which greasy culprits do the most damage, why hot water and dish soap don’t help, and the right way to get rid of kitchen grease (spoiler: it’s not your garbage disposal). Plus, I’ll share some Fairfax County programs that make it easy to do things the right way and explain why a yearly plumbing inspection can save you a huge headache later. Let’s keep your pipes clean and your kitchen clog-free.
