Flushable?

Beware!

“FLUSHABLE” IS THE LATEST AD CATCH TERM

The trend seems to be FLUSHABLE cat litter, wet wipes & tampons. All FLUSHABLE means is “if you put it in the toilet it will go down.”

Although if there is anything for it to get caught on it will. What you want is for it to break down once it is flushed.

NOW YOU CAN HELP YOURSELF!

At last something you can do to help yourself, keep your drains flowing. I now carry enzymes. What’s that? It is not a cure for drain problems, but it is an additional tool to help prolong time between problems. How? Well, it works like moss on a tree, it coats the pipe, absorbs the SLUDGE & turns it into carbon monoxide & water. So that when you run water it can be flushed from the line.

DRAIN SURGEON PROCEDURE

SYMPTOM:
Bathroom sink drains slow or is clogged.

Treatment:
Clog the overflow with a wet rag. Remove the stopper If possible, and plunge with a Samson plunger until open.
If this does not work then you know it is time to call.

You can get a Samson plunger from your technician. We carry them in stock now. Everything else is an aerobic tool, it will help you break a sweat and give you a blister, but that is it !
