Super Scary Things Found in Homeowners’ Drains

If you’re a fan of the strange, dark, and mysterious, then you probably love October because it includes Halloween and everything spooky. What’s spookier than creatures and unknown substances invading your home? Halloween or not, Plumb On sees its share of creepy. In this post, discover super scary things found in homeowner drains.

1. Slugs, Snakes, and Other Slimy Critters

If you have an infestation of slugs or snakes, you may find them taking refuge in your drains. These creatures can cause major blockages and backups. Of course, no one wants to see a slug or snake peek out of a drain opening and make eye contact. That would be enough to spark a blood-curdling scream that Jamie Lee Curtis would envy.

2. Other Critters

You might be surprised to learn that drains house all kinds of creatures. In addition to slugs and snakes, plumbers have found frogs, rats, and even alligators living in drains. Reach out to Plumb On immediately if you see any critters lurking around your drains.

3. Toys and Other Household Objects

It’s not just creatures that end up in drains. Small toys, jewelry, and other household objects can also cause clogs. Kids experiment and drop some items into toilets, while kids and adults alike drop smaller items by mistake. While these items may not seem scary, you should see what they look like after extended time down there. If you have a toddler in the house, be extra vigilant about monitoring what goes down the drain.

4. Hair

Hair is one of the most common things that plumbers find in drains. It can build up over time and cause a major clog. Besides clogging, pulling hair masses out of drains is just gross. You know what we mean if you’ve watched The Grudge or It. If you have long hair, be sure to keep it away from your drains. To prevent this, invest in a drain cover or screen to catch hair before it goes down the drain.

4. Grease and Oil

Grease and oil can solidify in your drains and cause serious problems. Never pour these liquids down the drain; instead, dispose of them in a container.
