Stop Flushing Money Away – What Not To Flush Down Your Toilet

ToiletA plumbing disaster can cost you thousands of dollars and nobody wants to spend their money on a bathroom flooding or a pipe bursting because someone flushed the wrong thing down the toilet. Plumbers are called out to thousands of emergency jobs per year to repair plumbing damage due to large blockages and faults, resulting in costly bills to the homeowner. Knowing what not to flush down the loo can keep your pipes clear and working efficiently, resulting in less chance of a blocked drain or worse.

Whilst many of these items may come as common sense to most, some are wrongly considered entirely safe to flush down the toilet and into the wastewater system. They include:

  • Pets
  • Wet Wipes
  • Cooking Oils and Fats
  • Cigarette Butts
  • Sanitary Items and Dental Floss

Pets

Whilst it may seem like common sense not to attempt to flush your family pet down the toilet, a staggering amount of people still flush pet fish and mice down the toilet when they ‘pass on’. That’s a very nasty site for your plumber when they fish around in your pipes to find a dead/decaying body as the source of the blockage. Just like humans and bigger pets, deceased small pets need to be buried or disposed of responsibly – not flushed away.

Wet Wipes

Despite the packaging on so many of these products claiming them to be flushable, wet wipes and many moist toilet paper wipes are not biodegradable. The thicker, stronger fibres of these products mean they do not break down nearly as fast as normal toilet paper and contribute to blockages in both residential pipes and the wastewater sewage system.

Cooking Oils and Fats

Drains are drains, no matter where they run from. You don’t pour cooking oils and fats down the kitchen sink drain, so don’t tip them down the toilet. These mixtures act as the very best agents for small particles to stick too inside your pipes and create slimy walls along the way, not to mention pollute the water supply as it washes into the sewage system.

Cigarette Butts

cigarette buttThey may seem small enough, but ciggie butts are worse flushed than they are butted out and tossed in the bin. Butts just do not break down (have you not seen those stubborn butts still sitting on street verges after being rained on all winter?) and lead to big problems with blockages and pollution.

Sanitary Items and Dental Floss

Pads and tampons are made from cotton but tend to swell when exposed to large amounts of water. A large swollen clump of tight cotton is a recipe for disaster when flushed down a sewerage pipe. Condoms do not break down for years and dental floss gets wrapped around everything inside the pipes and creates a framework for blockages. Popping these items in a plastic bag and disposing of them in the bin is not only environmentally friendly, it’ll ensure your chances of a blocked or damaged pipe is significantly reduced.

Have You Bought A New Home? Do You Need A Plumbing Checkup?

New homeHave you just bought a new home? Congratulations! Purchasing and moving into a new home is such an exciting time. You’ve done all of the inspections and new adventures lay ahead. But many new homeowners find out too late that their new home has severe plumbing problems buried far beneath the walls, with old or inadequate plumbing systems not being revealed in pre-sale inspections. Nobody can see through your walls, but you can take some steps to visually inspect your home for any potential problems.

It is imperative that you always call a professional out to inspect and rectify any issues you may recognise when it comes to the plumbing in your home. Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas are your local experts in all areas of residential and commercial plumbing and can assist you in recognising and repairing small issues before they become large problems.

Some signs to look out for and inspections to carry out include:

  • Standing Water
  • Peeling Paint and Rust
  • Sewer/Septic Tank
  • Water Heater

Standing Water

paintA big indicator that water leakage is awry is standing water, or pools of water in certain areas of your yard, that won’t dry up and are recurring. Excess water in your yard usually indicates a leak in the sewer line coming from your home and can contain waste that your children and pets can easily gain access too, not to mention being a breeding ground for pests, insects and germs. Swampy patches in your grass or garden beds, or areas where the grass or plants look particularly green are usually the areas to inspect first.

Peeling Paint and Rust

Inside your home, the biggest indicator of leaking pipes is water damage to your walls. Peeling and bubbling paint and rust spreading over metal door frames is your first sign that the pipes are leaking water into the wall cavity. You should also inspect the inside of cabinets and cupboards in the kitchen and bathrooms to check for water damage. This will usually be picked up in your house inspection, however cheap patch up jobs can hide the damage behind the wall. If your wall plaster or surface feels damp to touch, comes off in your hands or is bubbling away on the surface, call your plumber to inspect the pipes for a leak.

Sewer/Septic Tank

Whether your new home runs on the Water Corporation’s wastewater system or you have your own septic tank, an inspection of the sewage is imperative to ensure your waste is being carried away efficiently from your home. Check for wet patches above the location of the septic tank (if you have one) and if your plumbing shows any signs of blockage, such as slow draining, bad smells or strange noises, call your plumber. They can use specialised equipment to inspect the pipes thoroughly.

Water Heater

Hot water specialistCheck your water heater for year of manufacture and any signs of damage from the outside. Water heaters and their elements can be costly to repair or replace so frequent checks are essential. If you live in an area that experiences ‘hard water’, the elements and fixtures can corrode quickly so if your hot water is limited or the heater shows signs of damage or significant age, it’s best to call your plumber to assess before it ends up costly you significantly.

Don’t Flush Your Baby Wipes

Baby wipesAs any parent will tell you, antibacterial wipes (or baby/wet wipes as they are known in Australia) are a godsend for parents of babies and toddlers. These small sheets of moist fibres are not exclusive to parents of young children; teenagers use them frequently for various purposes and there are now sanitary wipes available for all ages as an alternative for dry toilet paper. Whilst some of these products are actually marketed as flushable, recent research has revealed that these wet wipes are causing major issues in our wastewater systems.

According to the ACCC (Australian Competition and Consumer Commission), wet wipes, even though claiming to be flushable, are simply not suitable to be disposed of in our plumbing systems. An astonishing one in four people in metropolitan areas are flushing wet/baby wipes down the loo and roughly 75% of reported sewer blockages in major cities are the result of wet wipe accumulation. (www.choice.com.au/health-and-body/beauty-and-personal-care/skin-care-and-cosmetics/articles/flushable-wipes)

The main reasons to not flush your baby/wet wipes down the toilet include:

  • Environmental Hazard
  • Pipe Blockages = Big Problems = Big Costs
  • Wipes are Now #1 for Blockages

Environmental Hazard

Wet/baby wipes do not break down like toilet paper does. They are designed to be much stronger and therefore take significantly longer in the biodegradation process. The chemicals used in the manufacture of these wipes contributes to water pollution and the fibrous paper itself simply adds to waste product in our wastewater system. If these wipes aren’t removed in treatment facilities, they are flushed out to oceans and creeks, causing major environmental hazards.

Blocked DrainPipe Blockages = Big Problems = Big Costs

The removal of large clumps of accumulated baby/wet wipes in plumbing pipes is labour intensive and very unpleasant. The wipes not only build up quickly to form a mass that is very difficult to break down, but other waste products get catch up in this blockage. As such, plumbers are well within their rights to charge accordingly and when you are frequently flushing baby/wet wipes down the loo, these blockages can occur way too often, resulting in plumbers being called and big bills being accumulated. Avoid large, costly plumbing bills by placing wipes in the rubbish bin, not the toilet.

Wipes Are Now #1 For Blockages

According to the ACCC and numerous residential plumbers, wipes are now the biggest cause of household plumbing blockages in Australia. Although so many are labelled as flushable, the truth is that they do not break down adequately and are causing detrimental blockages and damage to residential plumbing. In some reported cases, pipes have even burst, resulting in costly repair bills for not just the pipe repair, but the water damage to the home.

DIY Plumbing Fixes While You Wait For The Experts

Plumbing toolsHas your toilet started to make funny noises? Filling up to high when you flush and not draining quickly? Statistics show that blocked toilets are the top plumbing problem so you’re not alone in your plumbing woes.

Help is at hand with Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas 24/7, no callout or penalty fees policy, but you can alleviate some of the issue so that to avoid further blockage and damage whilst you wait for the experts.

As scary as it looks, refrain from flushing your toilet repeatedly. As much as you want to do this, it could make the problem worse than it already is. You can temporarily fix the blockage by –

  • Donning the rubber gloves and grabbing a rubber plunger;
  • Remove the excess water from the toilet bowl with a cup and a bucket, leaving enough water in the bowl to cover the plunger;
  • With the plunger placed in the bottom of the bowl, plunge gently at first to avoid being splashed with unholy water. Now plunge more forcefully, once the hole is sealed. You may need to repeat several times.
  • Hopefully, if the blockage isn’t too major, and the plunging forces the water down the pipe and dislodges it.

Keep in mind that this is only a temporary fix for unblocking your toilet. Most often, the problem will reoccur so further investigation down the pipes is required.

My toilet won’t flush properly

Maintaining Your Leech Drains

Leech DrainIs your home still connected to a septic tank? Does the Water Corporation’s deep sewage system not run through your area yet? If your home’s wastewater runs to a septic tank on your property, you will have leech drains; large drainage channels running from your septic tank that carry your wastewater from your septic tank into the surrounding soil. These channels are essential for your household plumbing and need to be maintained to ensure not only your families comfort, but also the integrity of your plumbing and insurance requirements.

Maintaining your leech drains is like maintaining your normal plumbing drains and pipes in your home, the only difference being that there will usually a septic tank and then one or more leech drains where the pipework from your home drains into. Follow these tips to keep your leech drains running smoothly:

  • Watch What You Put Down the Sink
  • Ensuring Your Septic is Active
  • Tree Roots
  • Change Your Drains Over
  • Listen To Your Plumbing

Watch What You Put Down the Sink

Whatever you put down the sink, toilet or drains in your home will travel to your leech drains. Fat, soaps and thick substances that do not dissolve in water will become lodged in your leech drains and form ‘plugs’, effectively diminishing the efficiency of your drains by preventing the water from draining out. Keep these substances out of the pipes by disposing of them alternatively.

Ensure Your Septic Tank Is Active

Adding enzymes to your septic tank allows it to dissolve and process the wastewater more effectively, allowing for less chance of blockage in your leech drains.

Tree Roots

Ensure trees and plants with evasive roots are not too close to your leech drains. Root systems are notorious for weaving into the holes of concrete drains, or running down the sides of the more porous, mesh-type leech drains and providing a thick barrier that waste water cannot escape through.

Change Your Drains Over

leech drain installationIf you have more than 1 leech drain it is a general rule of thumb is to change your leech drains over every 12 months, however if you have a large family, you may want to do it more often. This swap gives one drain the chance to rest while the other takes over the drainage duties, allowing the ground to dry out a bit and more efficient evacuation from the leech drain.  If you only have 1 leech and are having issues you may need to consider getting a 2nd leech drain added. Speak to Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas about your options.

Listen To Your Plumbing

Just as you will find with household plumbing pipes and drains, leech drains do not respond well when clogged with debris, oils, fats and soaps. Gurgling toilets, slow to drain sinks and drains and a large amount of water coming up from the diverter tap are all signs that your septic tank is full and your leech drains are not working to their full capacity.

Hot Water by Mainline Plumbing and Cheap Hot Water and Gas BunburyHot Water Problems

There is nothing more uncomfortable than a freezing cold shower on a cold morning when your hot water system has broken down. It affects the entire family and is not restricted to the bathroom; dishes need hot water to be washed in and laundry may need hot water for effective cleaning too. Getting your hot water system repaired and working again quickly and professionally will eradicate any extra stress and ensure the family home is kept running smoothly, as well as complying with any warranties on your existing hot water unit.

Burst Pipe

A burst water pipe spells disaster and can cause expensive and extensive damage in and around your home. This plumbing emergency needs to be rectified immediately before it affects the foundations of your house and employing a registered plumber is a requirement of your insurance to ensure the job is done correctly.

Blocked Toilet / Drains

Mainline Plumbing in actionIt’s not just about the bad smell when your toilet and drains are blocked, but the damage it can cause if not fixed sooner than later. Plumbers have the correct tools and equipment to clear out blocked drains quickly and safely, without ending up with water all over the floor of your home or having to reach your own arms into a smelly drain.

Leaking Septic Tanks

Although the conversion to deep water sewage has been rapid and well received, some properties still operate on their own septic tank. The major indicator that your tank has sprung a leak or needs emptying is the ground that covers it. If the lawn or sand that covers your septic tank is soggy and wet, call your plumber immediately to inspect your tanks for cracks or if it needs draining.

Water Damage

If your wall looks like it has a disease, with bubbles in the paint or plaster and flaking off in small chunks, chances are there is water trapped in the wall cavity that is causing damage to the interior and exterior of your house walls. Plumbers can trace the source of the leak and advise the best course of action for this common issue to be repaired before further, more expensive damage can be done.
