Do not put any oil, fat, or greasy foods or products in your sink. These materials may be liquid when you pour them in, but they will solidify and cause problems. This can make your garbage disposal run slower. See to it that you dispose the oils away from your sink.
Regularly check your overflow holes to make sure they're not clogged. Sinks use overflow holes if they start to overfill, and this isn't usually a problem, but it can be. Clear overflow holes when doing periodic checks for problems and plumbing issues that should be addressed.
Make sure that any exposed pipes in your home are insulated, especially those found in crawl spaces on the outside walls of your home.
