Five Things to Never Flush Down the Toilet

YORBA LINDA, Calif., Nov. 15, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Best Service, a leading residential electrical, plumbing, heating and air conditioning company serving Orange County has timely plumbing advice for all homeowners.

Sewer and septic systems are designed for a very specific purpose. Adding modern convenience items to the system can cause serious plumbing problems, which in turn, can become a serious money problem for homeowners and rental property owners. To avoid expensive repairs, never send the following five things down the toilet:

    1. Anything made from cotton: Cotton balls and swabs will not dissolve in
       water and will clog pipes.
    2. Dental floss: Floss isn't biodegradable and can contribute to pipe clogs.
    3. Disposable cleaning wipes and sponges: Wipes and sponges don't break down
       like toilet paper. Not even those marketed as flushable are acceptable
       for flushing down the drain.
    4. Feminine hygiene products and disposable diapers: These highly absorbent
       products are designed to soak up liquid and will not dissolve in water.
    5. Hair: Hair doesn't break down in water, it floats and gets stuck as it
       moves through the system.

"The toilet is something we all use daily," said Brian Vardiman, owner of Best Service. "It has one purpose and should never be used as a general disposal for things that belong in the garbage. Some may be surprised to learn that items marketed as flushable aren't. Disposable wipes can collect in pipes and cause a system backup. Sewer systems can process two things - toilet paper and human waste."
