Are Your Kids Toys Clogging Your Plumbing?

A new survey by WorldNow reveals that over 75% of households have unclogged drains, pipes, or toilets due to toys and other objects getting stuck in them. The most common culprits are rubber duckies, squirt guns, and colorful blocks.

• From soap scum buildup to clogs in the kitchen sink, understanding how your kids' toys can affect your plumbing is crucial.
• A simple solution is to remove or store items that can get stuck, such as rubber ducks and toy cars.
• Regular cleaning and maintenance of drains and pipes can also help prevent clogs caused by toys.

So, what can you do to protect your plumbing system? The American Plumbing Association recommends using a drain screen or filter to catch hair and other debris before they enter the pipe. You can also install a garbage disposal with a built-in trap to prevent food particles from getting stuck in the drain.
