how to prevent toilet drain clogs

Until now there haven’t been a lot of solutions to a clogged toilet, other than a plunger and a plumber. Now restaurants can use toilet drain guards, which utilize tiny laser-cut hooks to actually catch and prevent non-flushables from being flushed down the toilet drain. These devices combined with appropriate signage can allow restaurants to retire their “bathroom out of order” sign once and for all.

One of the most common items to cause toilet clogs are wipes. It seems reasonable that anything used to wipe an infant's backside should be able to go down the toilet, but unfortunately, that just isn't the case. These convenience items are the number one cause of clogs and can cause expensive damage to your plumbing.Toilet and baby wipes often bear the logo stating they are safe for flushing when a drain is already a little blocked this cause a backup and is commonly seen by technicians.

Other common items to cause toilet drain line clogs are hair, paper, and just about any foreign object you can imagine.
