Kids are officially back to school!
While it might be a relief to have you r young ones out of the house for the day, they can come back with treasures from school you wouldn't expect.
We've seen it all at Garvin's, vapes, cell phones, toy cars, wash rags, pencils. Anything that can fit into your pipes will surely try it's best to end up there. Of course, all these examples are obvious no no's for going down the drain but what about the less obvious?
I'm sure it might seem like napkins and paper towels are close enough to toilet paper that they can safely go down your toilet, right? Wrong! đź™… While paper towels and napkins do break down EVENTUALLY, they can cause backups very quickly!
But what about "flushable" wipes? They say right there on the package they are flushable, but all that means is they can physically make it down the toilet. Wipes are one of the most common causes of clogs that we see and you'd have no idea! These wipes also don't break down despite claims they can be flushed.
Whether you have a whole train set in your toilet or have been substituting TP for napkins awaiting grocery day Garvin's can help. Call 303-571-5114 if you need help with clogs of all kinds!
