Things That Should Never Be Flushed Down The
Toilet

• The plumbing experts at Adelaide Emergency
  Plumbing have encountered every bathroom,
  kitchen, laundry, sewer and drain problem under
  the sun. You name it and our Adelaide
  plumbers would have expertly handled and repaired
  the plumbing crisis, restoring our customers

• Blocked drains are a nightmare and if not
  addressed on time, the problem can quickly
  escalate causing extensive damage to your home or
  business. As a home or business owner, you want
  to make sure your pipes, drains, and plumbing
  system is in good condition, always working
  efficiently, as it should. Having to deal with
  breakdowns can be stressful for anyone and its
  best to avoid any Adelaide blocked drains by
  being careful of what you flush down your toilets.

What can and cannot be flushed down the toilet?

• In our experience, we have seen many people
  treat toilets like garbage bins. Toilets are
  designed to take care of human waste, but
  unfortunately many people end up disposing of
  other things causing plumbing issues. Flushing
  things that should never go down a toilet is the
  main cause of stubborn clogs that cause blocked
  drains, wastewater clogging, sewer water
  backflow, contaminate the water system and even
  cause environmental damage. From personal care
  products to household products we have seen it
  all, blocked in drains and sewers of many
  residential and commercial properties.

•   The list of things that should never be
  flushed is quite long and we are sharing that
  with you today. Being careful of what goes down
  the toilet can prevent extensive plumbing damage
  and keep major issues such as burst pipes, leaks,
  sewage back-ups, pooling water, and more, at bay.

So, What Can You Flush Down the Toilet?

• We all know there are certain things you
  should never flush down the toilet, but most
  people just toss things in the toilet bowl just
  because they dont realize it would cause any
  issues. Until there is a big problem, an
  emergency blocked drain plumber must be called.
  To ensure that your pipes stay clog-free, here is
  a list of common personal items and household
  things that any home or business owner should
  truly avoid flushing down the toilet. We will
  keep it short and to the point the only thing
  that belongs in the toilet bowl is human waste
  and toilet paper. Anything that does not fall
  under these two categories belongs in the garbage
  bin. This includes
