When you notice that your kitchen, bathroom sink or bath tub drains are starting to drain slowly this is the time to treat them with drain cleaner. If the drain is still running it will allow the drain cleaner to reach the blockage. Most conventional drain cleaners will not work if your drain is 100% blocked.

I recommend talking to a rep at your local hardware store and ask for an Enzyme drain cleaner. you can treat your drains year round without any risk of damaging your pipes. Enzyme cleaners are non toxic and are also safe for septic systems.

The most comin mistakes in flushable objects are,

- Q Tips or cotton swabs if you wish.

- Dental floss.

- Tampons and other feminine hygene products ( the box says flushable applicator not product).

- Kitty litter.

- Paper towel

These are prime examples of many service calls ive been out on for plugged toilets so avoid spending hundreds of dollars through your local plumbing company by simply not flushing these objects down your toilet, put them in the garbage. I have heard it a thousand times ” we’ve never had a problem from flushing those before” Well now you do.

Another quick tip is, if you keep things on the back of the toilet tank or if you have children. Keep the lid down.
