Have you noticed a constant gurgling noise coming from your sink?
Sometimes this is normal drainage and not a cause for alarm, but other times it may indicate plumbing trouble. Here’s what it may mean if you hear frequent gurgling (and what you can do about it).
Clogged toilets are a huge aggravation that almost everyone faces at some point or another. You can avoid the problem, however. Take the following common causes for toilet clogs into consideration, and you’ll start to see how you can prevent these problems.
You might have chosen to start using them in place of toilet paper or might have seen them on the shelves of your local store. Flushable wipes are one of the most versatile items in the bathroom. Aside from taking the place of toilet paper, they can be used for cleaning up those little messes and are all too convenient if you have small children or pets. Who, as we know, occasionally need to be cleaned after. Versatility aside, the real question is this–are they really flushable, or do they have the potential to cause more harm than good?
Ask the average person what they do if they experience a clog, and they’ll most likely tell you that they grab the nearest bottle of drain cleaner and pour it down the drain. For many years, this was considered normal and safe practice. However, to have a cleaner and greener environment, we all must do our part. By eliminating the heavy usage of chemical drain cleaners, we can do just that.
