Uncover the Scariest Plumbing Nightmares and How to Fix Them

Halloween is the season for tricks, treats, and ghoulish delights. It’s also a time when your plumbing can experience some unexpected scares. As you prepare for the spookiest night of the year, remember these 3 scariest plumbing nightmares to ensure your day doesn’t fall victim to these plumbing pitfalls.

Clogged toilets: the scary consequences of flushing Halloween remnants. There’s something so fun about dressing up for the night. But when it comes to disposing of fake blood, princess glitter, fake mustaches, and lashes, remember this golden rule: the toilet is strictly off-limits for disposing of spooky and sparkle remnants. Flushing these Halloween-related items down the toilet can lead to clogs and blockages that are more frightening than any ghost or ghoul.

Overflowing sinks: the curse of pumpkin carving and face paints. Pumpkin carving is a beloved Halloween tradition, but it’s a messy one. Pumpkin guts can wreak havoc on your pipes, causing nasty blockages and overflows. And let’s not forget about face paint. The thick and greasy paint that transforms you into a terrifying creature of the night can also create a horrifying plumbing situation. So, be cautious when cleaning up after Halloween crafts and costumes.

Blockages in drain lines: a web of debris. Spooky spider web decorations are a fantastic way to get into the spirit. But faux spider webs, fake hair, and the litter left behind by trick-or-treaters will make your home feel like a real haunted house if it goes down the storm drain. Be sure to dump everything into a trash can before it has a chance to make it’s way there.
