Key Takeaways:
⚡️Importance of Drain Inspections: Conduct a professional drain inspection before purchasing any property to avoid costly drain line repairs later.
⚡️Dry Drains: Infrequently used drains can dry out, causing unpleasant smells due to gas bypassing the drain trap.
⚡️Root Intrusions: Tree roots, especially from trees like weeping willows and sugar maples, can penetrate drain lines, causing severe blockages.
⚡️Items to Avoid Disposing in Drains: Don't pour grease, peels, feminine products, fish gravel, or "flushable" wipes down the drain.
⚡️Professional Help: Addressing drain issues often requires professional intervention, particularly for complex problems involving underground or yard drains.

Quotes:
* "You don't appreciate your drains until you don't have drains working."
* "Getting it checked out before you even buy the property, I would highly recommend doing that."
* "Trees like weeping willows are water suckers. They will travel far to find a water source and can severely damage your drains."
* "Pouring grease down the drain can cause a complete clog; it doesn't matter if you run water with it."
* "For any questions about what can go down your drain, just Google it."
