Inadvertently Clogging Pipes

Be mindful of what you’re putting down your drains. Don’t flush anything down your toilet besides toilet paper, especially heavier materials like paper towels, diapers or cotton swabs, and paint, oil or harsh chemicals. Even flushable wipes are not recommended.

If you notice warning signs of clogging,  – a gurgling when you use the toilet, for instance, or low water pressure – call a plumber ASAP.
