5 Items to Never Flush From The Sunny Plumber

LAS VEGAS - Nov. 10, 2015 - PRLog -- The Sunny Plumber, the expert Las Vegas plumbers, constantly see big plumbing problems arise from flushing the wrong things down the toilet.  Contrary to popular beliefs, most things cannot be flushed down the toilet. Here are five of the most common items that are flushed but shouldn’t be.

1. Diapers- No matter the size or brand, diapers will clog a toilet, or an outgoing line, within seconds of flushing. Always dispose of diapers in the trash.

2. Tampons and Sanitary Napkins- Many experts claim that flushing tampons and sanitary napkins causes the majority of household clogs. These items contain cotton, which snags easily.  If your home’s plumbing pipes have any cracks or root infiltration, the cotton can quickly get caught in the line. After a few flushes, buildup can occur and you’ll have a clog on your hands.

3. Wipes – Items like baby wipes, paper towels, face wipes, Swiffer pads, etc., may say “flushable” on the box, but if you have a tiny clog already forming, adding these items to the waste flow will quickly make a small problem much larger.

4. Toilet Bowl Scrub Pads - These scrub pads are not biodegradable plus they’re full of harsh cleaning agents that are difficult for the treatment facility to cleanse from the water.

5. Dryer Sheets - Dryer sheets are full of toxic chemicals that cause big problems at treatment facilities, and your local water shed. They also can quickly lead to clogs.
