When too much toilet paper is flushed down the toilet, it can build up in the pipes and drains, causing blockages. This habit is one of the common causes of plumbing problems \u00a0in many households. To prevent clogs from forming due to excessive toilet paper use, consider using only the necessary amount to get the job done. Additionally, it&#8217;s advisable to flush the toilet multiple times while using toilet paper rather than trying to flush it all at once. By being \u00a0mindful of how much toilet paper you use and ensuring it is flushed properly, you can help avoid potential clogs \u00a0in your drains.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6a00bdb elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"6a00bdb\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Allowing Hair to Accumulate<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-997d3f2 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"997d3f2\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Allowing hair to build up in your drains can lead to \u00a0clogs and plumbing issues. Hair commonly gets trapped in the shower drain and, over time, combines with soap scum and other debris. As more hair accumulates, it impedes the water flow, eventually causing blockages in the drains. To prevent this, consider using a hair catcher in your shower drain to trap hair before it enters the pipes. Regularly clean the hair catcher and remove any collected hair to help maintain smooth drainage. If you notice slow water flow, consider a sewer camera inspection to detect any hair clogs inside your pipes before they escalate into major problems.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0091d03 elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"0091d03\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/canplumbingdrainage.ca\/mississauga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/sink-hair-build-up.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-3465\" alt=\"Sink Hair Build Up\" srcset=\"https:\/\/canplumbingdrainage.ca\/mississauga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/sink-hair-build-up.webp 1920w, https:\/\/canplumbingdrainage.ca\/mississauga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/sink-hair-build-up-768x432.webp 768w, https:\/\/canplumbingdrainage.ca\/mississauga\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/3\/2024\/05\/sink-hair-build-up-1536x864.webp 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" title=\"\">\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-7df6f51 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"7df6f51\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Flushing Non-Flushable Items<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-acc8669 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"acc8669\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>Flushing items that are not meant to be flushed down the drain can \u00a0lead to blockages and damage to your plumbing system.

Hygiene products, wipes, paper towels, and other non-flushable items should never be flushed. These items do not break down like toilet paper and can easily build up, causing stubborn clogs that can be difficult and expensive to remove.

Regularly flushing your drains with hot water can help clear minor blockages caused by grease and food particles. Using a mesh strainer in your sink can stop debris from entering the pipes and causing a blockage. Avoid frequent use of chemical drain cleaners, as they can harm your pipes over time. Also, make sure your garbage disposal is used correctly and not overloaded with large food scraps to maintain a healthy drainage system.
