Plumbing accidents such as an overflowing toilet can lead to panic thinking of the damage, cleanup, and germs and bacteria affecting your home or business.

Here are some tips to avoid an overflowing toilet from occurring on your property.

Signage

If you are a business owner, you need to make sure that proper signage is posted in the bathroom that indicates what items are acceptable to flush.

Trash Cans

Make sure that there are trash cans and waste bins available for non-flushable items such as sanitary napkins.

Thinner Toilet Paper

Using thinner toilet paper breaks down easier and prevents toilets from clogging.

Toilet Seat Safety Locks

If you have smaller children around, make sure that you have a child safety toilet lock in place so that smaller items like toys don’t cause a clog.
