13 Things You Shouldn't Dump Down the Drain

There are some substances that are particularly dangerous for your drain. Follow some simple rules and avoid dumping certain things down your drain to save your money and nerves.
Why is a clogged drain so terrible in the first place? The most obvious reason is that you can do serious and expensive damage to your kitchen or bathroom. Plus, the water in your drains is dirty already, and it obviously gets worse with garbage inside. Finally, not only does it give off a terrible smell, but it can also cause complications with certain health conditions like asthma or allergies.
Next time you’ve had a delicious meal, scrape any leftovers from your plate into the trash where they belong instead of washing them down the drain. Remember that eggshells, coffee grounds, oils and fats, as well as flour, should never go in your drain. Some people think that medicine dissolves easily in water, so they throw expired pills down the drain. In reality, they don’t dissolve in water, they contaminate it. Hair is one of the most common reasons why pipes get clogged in the bathroom. When the hair goes into the tub’s drain, it gets stuck inside and forms a ball that acts likes a net for other waste. Condoms and feminine products are a nightmare for your toilet’s pipes and drain, as well.

SUMMARY
-Pasta and rice absorb water and expand blocking the drain.
-Eggshell pieces can get stuck to each other and form one big massive hunk over time.
-If you pour it down the drain in large amounts, milk can cause some serious environmental problems.
-Imagine flour and water combining inside your drain and making a glue-like substance. It can attract other waste and form a huge clog.
-Coffee grounds are one of your drain’s arch nemeses.
-Cooking oil mixes with other kinds of waste and strengthens their clogging powers.
-Believe it or not, medicines don’t dissolve in water, they contaminate it.
-When the hair goes into the tub’s drain, it gets stuck inside and forms a ball that acts likes a net for other waste.
-Stickers themselves are made of materials that take a very long time to decompose, plus, they have glue on them.
-Never put building waste, be it even tiny pieces and powder-like debris, down the drain.
-Condoms can stretch really well and get stuck inside pipes or get filled with air, water, or other waste which will lead to a very serious clog.
-Cigarette butts are made of a synthetic material that never dissolves and harmful chemicals, like nicotine, which can contaminate the water supply.
-Remember that feminine products can dramatically increase in size, and it leads to a very serious clog.

Thank you for this video. I have shared it with my tenants who dont seem to grasp the fact that the only thing that goes down the plug hole is water. Its like the think it magically disappears once they’ve squeezed it through the trap

Who in their right minds would put the following in their sink: condoms, feminine products, flour!! Like what the heck. I understand the milk though

[tehgamer]

I would like to congratulate you on your great work for years on and I'm hoping that you'll make a lot of videos in the future for tips and such

Love how the plumber guy actually moves his mouth properly to the words

[sparkyspark]

It helps to pour boiling water down your drain from time to time to sanitize and can help with small amounts of buildup.

[abutts]

We dump our grease into an aluminum can in the fridge and throw it away when the can gets full

[clowney]

Who even throws these things down the drain, seems so foolish. These are all common sense.

[stein]

I think it's better to trow nothing in your drain

[mayank]

[jtmichaelson]

Yeah... I learned about the oil one the hard way a long time ago. Could have used this video back then.

[adisappointedfbiagent]

so pretty much everything clogs it in big amounts

[Danniematin]

Amazing! I hope you know your videos make my day? Who else agrees ?

Another sign of a sink drain needing cleaning is when you see some very tiny moths coming out of there. The environment further down is perfect for them to thrive in.

It took me forever to realize the plumber was talking

[fatimac.middleton]

Okay. How do we unclog or unblock our kitchen grain?

I just backed up my kitchen sink royally by forgetting that I shouldn't put pasta down the disposal. Took 4 days for my husband to completely fix the problem. Another major way I have killed my disposal and sink pipes: peelings (potatoes, oranges, etc.) This video is so true.

[Arman-txee]

So much happened 🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴🇸🇴👏👏👏

Thanks
