Timber Pines residents should be made aware that there are some tips and tricks that homeowners can keep in mind to help them avoid toilet clogs and backup, along with the potentially dirty mess that may have to be cleaned up afterwards.
Avoid Flushing Foreign Objects
Some people pay very little attention to the items they are flushing down a toilet because once those objects go down, they are often out of sight and out of mind. Unfortunately, many people whom which a large majority are small children, liken a toilet to that of a trash ban, but it does not work that way. When flushing things down the toilet, Timber Pines residents should know that often times the biggest foreign object that causes problems are baby wipes. Even the ones labeled as flushable are still a huge problem for many plumbing professionals.
Be Careful of how Much Toilet Paper Someone is Using

Timber Pines residents should know that one of the best techniques to avoid using too much toilet paper at one time is to periodically flush the toilet. Some little tricks as easy as this can help homeowners avoid sudden toilet problems and potentially high fix costs.
