Don’t Flush Your Money Down The Toilet: How To Avoid Major Plumbing Problems.

From The December 2018 Newsletter

The 115 Building experienced a serious plumbing backup recently, and unfortunately, it was due to items being flushed down toilets and sinks that our 1964 plumbing cannot handle. These items include but are not limited to tampons, sanitary napkins, babyƒpersonalƒ antibacterial wipes, disposable diapers, paper towels, tissue other than toilet tissue, and food waste. Even if a product is marked “flushable,” it is not.

Owners and residents should discard these items ONLY in trash. If a plumbing backup is associated with a specific unit and a plumber is called by management, the owner will be billed. And, everyone shares costs in maintenance fees and inconvenience for building-wide plumbing repairs.
