PLUMBING TIPS & TRICKS

Every so often homeowners flush something they should not, materials that were not designed to disintegrate as well as toilet paper. This could lead to consequences including a mess or having to call a plumber to assist. Even if the flush of the unwanted material does not immediately overflow, it may be harming your home's pipes in the process and contributing to an even larger problem in the local sewer system. You can avoid the inconvenience and damage by making sure you never flush these materials including but not limited to paper towels, wipes, disposable diapers, cooking oil, cotton swabs, kitten litter, and more.
