If I see the vacuum sucking moisture out of the food and toward the seal, I hit the seal button (hopefully) before it gets to the seal area. For some really moist foods I put a piece of paper toweling in the bag. I do not store my Foodsaver with the lid latched. I just set the lid down and put a piece of tape on it to keep it from flopping open during storage. So far the seals seem to be in good shape.

I've had many of the same issues as noted in other posts, especially with moist foods. A couple years ago, I started partially freezing moist foods uncovered for about an hour before vacu-sucking them. Haven't had a problem since.

I have also cleaned the pump by using the hose to suck in about 1 oz warm water. Then empty the drain cup. Follow that with a quick shot of silicone lubricant.
