Welcome to Right There Plumbing!
Knowing what is safe to flush down your toilet or send down your kitchen and bathroom drains can be challenging. The marketing of some products can be confusing and misleading! Here are some things to consider…
1. ‘Flushable’ wipes aren’t actually flushable. These wipes come with a warning in small print that says not to flush them. They do not dissolve and can clog your toilet. We recommend putting wipes in the trash instead of the toilet
2. Grease of any kind will clog your kitchen sink drain. This can develop slowly over time or more quickly. Consider having a glass jar or container near your sink to discard grease into instead of sending it down your drain!
3. Hair can be a hassle! Anything from long flowing hair to coarse beard hair can pose a potential clog. Often times Drain O or a similar product is used to remove this clog, but did you know that this product can damage your pipes, may not resolve the clog, and can result in damaged tools if further repair is required. We strongly suggest using a hair trap in your shower drain to prevent clogging your drain
