Items You Should Never Flush

When you hire a professional drain company like ourselves, you can rest assured they’ll have the necessary experience and equipment to deal with all common drainage problems. When you hire us for drain repairs, you can expect the following:

Wet Wipes

Unlike toilet paper, wipes do not break down easily, leading to blocked manhole issues and major clogs.

Sanitary Products

Tampons, pads, and other hygiene products expand in water and can require professional emergency toilet unblocking.

Cotton Buds and Dental Floss

These small items can tangle together, forming tough blockages that may necessitate drain repairs or drain liner refurbishment.

Food Waste

Grease solidifies in pipes, contributing to severe blockages and requiring drain lining or soakaway repair.

Paper Towels

These do not disintegrate like toilet paper, increasing the risk of emergency blocked drains.
