Don't Flush These Items to Avoid Ruining Your Long Island Plumbing

Never flush tampons and feminine pads, especially those labeled as “super-absorbent.” These items can get caught around bends or in rough patches of your pipes. Given enough time, they can expand large enough to create clogs.

If you begin to hear gurgling sounds coming from your sinks or toilet, you may already have a sewer clog developing underneath your home. In such cases, you should call a plumbing company in Long Island as soon as possible. Allowing a clog to remain for too long can cause the sewage to back up your pipes, resulting in thousands of dollars in repairs.
