A lot of plumbing call-outs are for problems that could have been avoided with a few simple habits.
đ§ Down the sink or drain? Stick to water wherever possible. Avoid pouring:
â Cooking fat, oil or grease
â Coffee grounds
â Food scraps
â Rice or pasta (they expand!)
â Paint, chemicals or harsh cleaning products
Even if they seem to wash away, they can build up inside your pipes over time and cause stubborn blockages.
đ˝ When it comes to the toilet, remember⌠only the 3 Ps:
âď¸ P*e
âď¸ Poo
âď¸ (Toilet) Paper
Please donât flush:
â Baby wipes (even âflushableâ ones)
â Cotton wool pads or buds
â Sanitary products
â Nappies
â Dental floss
â Kitchen roll or tissues
These items donât break down properly and are one of the biggest causes of blocked drains and emergency plumbing call-outs.
A few simple changes can save you a lot of hassle, mess and money! đ
