Plumbing Safety Tips....for your pets!
-Keep toilet lids closed - Cleaners/chemicals used to keep toilets clean can harm your pets.
​
-Keep pets away from standing water - Do not allow your pets to drink water from sinks/tubs that are backed up. Take extra precaution if you have used any drain chemicals/cleaners.
​
-Keep pets away from an overflowing sewer - Clean outs can overflow in your yard. Do not let your pets near the sewage (i.e. do not step in, or drink from).
​
-Keep cabinet doors closed - Leftover chemicals may be on piping materials which can get on pets. When the pet grooms itself they will be ingesting the chemicals.
​
-Cover/cap all cleanouts - Small pets can fall into an open cleanout! Large pets can step into the open cleanout and severely injure their legs.

Here are a few extra pet related tips that affect your home...
​
-Do not place your cat box in the tub - Cat litter that falls out of the box can fall into the drain. The cat litter will expand and clog your drain.
​
-Do not put dry pet foods down your disposal - Dry pet food can expand and clog your drain.
​
-Do not flush cat litter down the toilet - There is no such thing as flushable cat litter. It will expand and clog your drain.
​
-Cover/cap all cleanouts - Playful pets can drop toys into an open cleanout which will instantly create a main sewer stoppage
