This toilet back up from a blockage in the septic lines in Bermuda Run, NC

• Never flush anything other than toilet paper down the drain. Even “flush-able wipes” should never go into the toilet.  They should be disposed of in a trash receptacle only.

• Use a strainer to prevent most hair from going down the drain in the tub and shower and dispose of the collected hair in the trash.

• We will say it again; never ever flush paper towels down the toilet. They do not break down when flushed and will block your drain lines.

• Tree roots can and will grow into your sewage lines, causing blockages. The older your home the more you need to address trees and roots located in proximity to your drain pipes.

• Hot grease in your drain will solidify when it comes in contact with the water in your p-traps and sewage lines creating a solid mass of grease that is not water soluble. Let grease cool and dispose of it in your trash receptacle to prevent back ups.
