Most people know that you should never wash food scraps or grease down your drain, but what about other things? To make sure your plumbing remains in a functional, working order, the drain cleaning experts at All Star Rooter, Sewer and Drain Cleaning in Norwalk, CT, have provided this helpful list so that you now know what should never go down your drain:

  • Cleaning Chemicals And Solvents: While there are plenty of products on the market the promise to clean up your clogged drain, this solutions can actually make the clog worse and possibly damage the pipes themselves. Eventually, those pipes will also need repairs. Instead, try using a plumbing snake or simply calling in a professional.

  • Medications: When a prescription expires or is no longer needed, it may seem like no big deal to throw it down the sink, but the pills or liquid can easily congeal onto your plumbing as it dissolves. If you can, take them to an unwanted medication exchange program or throw them out with the rest of your garbage.
  • Paper Towels And Makeup Wipes: One of the most common ways that toilets get backed up is by people trying to flush down things that they shouldn’t. Many people think that paper or cotton products can be dissolved in water just like toilet paper, but this is not the case. Don’t end up paying a bundle for toilet cleaning services when you could solve the problem by easily throwing your trash in the waste basket.
