In the minds of some, the toilets can accommodate any type of detritus without blinking. However, if you want to preserve them and above all avoid ruining yourself in plumbing work, there is one thing not to throw in the WC.
Solicited on a daily basis, the cabinets deserve our attention from an interview point of view. This is why it is essential not to put anything in them, at the risk of clogging them and damaging the plumbing. Especially with regard to an element, requested by many homes for his practical mind.
Certain habits, however very common, can be problematic without us really realizing it. One element, for example, has become a must for many households because of its practicality and its hygienic side. However, this object, which is frequently used in the toilet, is not without consequences on our pipes.
Considered as practical and even biodegradable, it nevertheless causes real concerns because the material from which it is done does not decompose quickly. Once the flush is pulled, it does not necessarily disappear, even if you no longer see it. It can indeed be stuck in the pipes and form traffic jams, creating obstructions which often require the intervention of a plumber. So much so that certain municipalities like that of Millas located in the Pyrénées-Orientales, have decided to raise awareness among the inhabitants with different poster and towing campaigns, in order to prevent the situation from growing after many damage noted.
Even if disposable wipes have become essential, it is not too late to change this habit using only toilet paper and of course avoiding throwing other elements likely to plug the pipes (cotton swabs, pads or periodic towels …). There are also sprays on the market specially designed to moisten toilet paper and thus find the feeling of freshness of the wipes. Installing a bidet in your toilet is also a very judicious option to preserve the pipes of a home.
One of the first reflexes that you can have in case of blocked toilet and pour out of the outlet for pipeline, but this is a very bad idea! Because this type of product is only intended for sinks, showers or baths due to the heat it produces, which can go so far as to crack the toilet porcelain without eliminating the cap. For this, nothing like a suction cup or the call to a professional for the less experienced!
