Clogged Drain in Wilmington, North Carolina
Clogged drains
usually don’t become clogged overnight. Generally, there is a gradual buildup in the pipes that first causes the water to drain slowly, and then eventually it can be clogged. Of course that isn’t always the case– some objects, when flushed or put down the drain, can clog the drain instantly.

Here are a few keys for avoiding a clogged drain:

  • Only flush human waste and toilet paper down the toilet
  • Do not flush any of the following products:
    • Cigarette butts
    • Feminine products
    • Diapers
    • Paper towels
    • Wipes
    • Cotton swabs or cotton balls
  • Do not put any of the following items down the garbage disposal:
    • Grease
    • Egg shells
    • Rice or pasta (food items that expand with water)
    • Potato peels
  • Periodically run hot water for a minute after using the sink
  • Have a professional take a look at any areas that are draining slowly right away
