keep things flowing this season
Want to keep your drains in tip-top shape this holiday season? Follow EPCOR’s neighbourly advice to keep the gravy, the bacon fat and all the oils from going down the drain. It’s easy and it will save you money! Scrape all the leftover bits of food into your green bin; wipe down the dishes (rather than running them under hot water) before washing and pour all the drippings into a container to dispose of in the garbage later. Visit Epcor for all the info on how to keep your pipes running smoothly all year long.
