Usually a toilet clog is not something you want to advertise to the world. However, there are some items you just cannot believe were pulled from someone’s plumbing. Learn More here!
In a recent issue of Angies List, professional plumbers were polled about the bizarre toilet clogs that do not come from our bowels (we hope)!
However, even though these clogs are some what funny for the homeowners, the septic system does suffer consequences, you can look at this web-site to opt with any of your concerns about septic and clogs.
Better have your septic tank undergo septic system inspections to ensure that your your septic system is properly working. Some clogs can end up causing damage and homeowners are left with having to get a leach field repair.
Here is a list of some of the unfortunate items:
- Toys – A plumber in Ontario was not expecting to find two toy boats shipwrecked inside a resident’s bowl when he tried to shake the blockage loose.
- Animals – Not only dead pet fish, but living frogs, lizards, baby possums and even birds have been reported to surprise people at the worst possible moment.
- Jewelry – Archaeologists in France once found a 16th century hairpin belonging to Queen Catherine de Medici inside of an excavated toilet.
- Clothing – An Oregon plumber reported finding a pair of underwear stuffed downed the toilet. Perhaps a cover-up?
- Toothbrushes – Okay, this one has happened to me. 10 out of 10 dentists say “throw it out”.
- Cellphones – Serves them right for calling you while they are on the toilet!
- Dentures – I hope the plumbers disposed of them before the elderly could forget where they had been.
- Food scraps – One plumber was called in to remove a blockage, and pulled out an entire carrot. Chew your food, people!
- Golf balls – I assume they thought the toilet would make an excellent ball washer.
- Illegal drugs – A criminal mastermind once used his toilet to dispose of the evidence. Unfortunately the DEA just had to open his septic system to prosecute him.
