NSP Quick Tip #2: Flushing Wisely for a Trouble-Free Plumbing System
Welcome back to NSP Quick Tips, your go-to source for practical advice on maintaining a smoothly functioning home. In this installment, we're tackling a topic that directly impacts your daily life – flushing wisely. At NSP Plumbing, we understand the importance of simple yet effective habits that can save you from plumbing headaches down the line. Let's dive into the dos and don'ts of flushing to ensure your pipes stay clear and your plumbing remains in top-notch condition.
Tip 1: Exercise Caution with What You Flush:
The first and foremost rule when it comes to flushing is simple – exercise caution. Not everything is designed to navigate your plumbing system smoothly, and being mindful of what goes down the drain can prevent costly clogs and repairs.
Tip 2: No Diapers, Sanitary Napkins, or Paper Towels:
Avoid the common pitfall of flushing items like diapers, sanitary napkins, and paper towels. These items, though seemingly convenient, can wreak havoc on your plumbing. Diapers and sanitary napkins expand and cause clogs, while paper towels don't break down as easily as toilet paper. Stick to flushing only toilet paper and human waste to keep your pipes clear.
Tip 3: The Golden Duo – Toilet Paper and Human Waste:
When it comes to flushing, simplicity is key. Stick to the golden duo of toilet paper and human waste. Toilet paper is designed to disintegrate quickly, preventing buildup in your pipes. Human waste is a natural byproduct that your plumbing system is equipped to handle.
Tip 4: Beware of "Flushable" Wipes:
In our fast-paced lives, "flushable" wipes may seem like a convenient option. However, these wipes can be deceptive. Despite their label, they often don't break down as effectively as toilet paper and can lead to clogs over time. When in doubt, dispose of these wipes in the trash to avoid potential plumbing issues.
