Don’t flush THAT! Don’t drain THAT!Typical domestic
waste pipes are only 100mm (4 inches) wide (approximately the
size of this circle), so unsurprisingly when inappropriate items are flushed down the toilet
or poured down the drain blockages occur.
Blockages in the sewage system are unnecessary and easily avoided, by flowing the 3 P’s rule.
If in doubt -
BAG IT & BIN IT.Blockages can cause sewage system
breakdowns, pump failures and flooding of your home and garden with raw
sewage and dirty water.
