Plumbing questions and answers

Two common #plumbing questions we have fielded over the years.

4) Lemon peels will make my sink smell good.

While this will work, we don't suggest you do it unless you have a very powerful garbage disposal. Try this instead, a homemade mixture of vinegar and a bit of baking soda. Once it is completely dissolved, pour it down the drain to keep it fresh smelling.

5) Flushable wipes can be flushed down the toilet.

This is difficult to answer because it may be true. But, we don't believe this product was design as a "flushable" item. At different jobs we have seen this to cause major clogging issues. It is true they are more biodegradable than say a wet sock, but not much better. Flushable wipes have the potential to back up your entire system. Overall, don't flush wipes, to avoid drain issues.
