Clogs and buildup of materials that have not broken down in your pipes can lead to costly repairs. The repair bill for pipes that have been clogged or damaged by unflushable items can reach into the hundreds to thousands of dollars. That's a lot of money out of your pocket on an easy and preventable fix.

Be a Good Toilet Neighbour
Unflushables can also get caught in the sewage pipes that lead to your neighbours' homes, causing flooding and property damage. Don't risk it. Be a good neighbour and only flush the 3Ps to give you and your neighbours plumbing peace of mind (and dry basements).

TOILET TIP

Wrap any baby wipes within your baby's used diaper and throw it in the garbage can once you're finished changing your little one.
