Anytime a problem with your pipes, drains, or fixtures is causing immediate damage to your property or is a safety risk, it’s considered an emergency. This includes major leaks, sewage backup, toilet overflows, lack of water, water heater failure in cold weather, and more.
No, not if you use them the correct way! To keep your plumbing system in top condition, know what NOT to put down the disposal:
- Bones (meat, fish, poultry)
- Fibrous vegetables (corn husks, celery)
- Grease and oil
- Starchy foods (pasta, rice, bread)
- Eggshells
- Coffee grounds
- Large pieces of food
When running your disposal, flush with plenty of cold water to help solidify grease, making it easier for the disposal to handle. Feed food into the disposal slowly and in small amounts, and regularly clean the disposal to remove food particles and prevent buildup.

In Florida, homeowners can generally perform some plumbing work themselves, but replacing an entire plumbing system requires a licensed plumber.
That’s because most major plumbing projects, including whole-house repiping, require permits from your local county or city. Florida also has strict building codes that must be followed for plumbing installations. Besides, replacing an entire plumbing system is a complex and challenging project, and incorrect installation can lead to leaks, damage, and even health hazards.

A cleanout in a plumbing system is essentially an access point to the sewer or drain lines. Think of it like this: if your plumbing system is a long highway, the cleanout is like an emergency access point on the side of the road. If there’s a traffic jam (clog), crews can easily access the highway through the cleanout to clear the obstruction.
Regular cleaning and maintenance through the cleanout can help prevent major clogs and backups, saving you from costly repairs down the line.
