🚫🍳 Can you pour grease down the drain if you run hot water?

👋 Welcome back to FAQ IT Friday: Episode 3 with Master Plumber Crispin!

💦 It’s a common kitchen plumbing myth: “If I run enough hot water, the grease will just wash away.”

😔 Unfortunately, that grease still has to travel through your drain pipes.

🧑‍🔧 Hot water can keep fats, oils and grease liquid temporarily, but as they travel farther through the plumbing system and cool down, they can begin sticking to the inside of your pipes. Over time, that buildup can collect food particles and other debris, contributing to a slow kitchen sink, clogged drain or sewer blockage.

🍳 Grease belongs in the garbage, not your kitchen drain.

🔊🚽 PART 3: What sound does this plumbing fixture make?

😂 You’d think a group of plumbers who works around toilets every day would all have the same answer… Apparently not.

👀 We put Amir, Connor and Jon to the test to see who could give us the most accurate toilet sound effect. We’ll let you decide who understood the assignment.

🧑‍🔧 Fortunately, when an actual toilet starts making strange noises, our team knows exactly what to do.

Sent for fittings at The Home Depot . Returned with Tim Hortons Timbits. A bold interpretation of “essential supplies.” ☕

🧑‍🔧 We joke about the supply runs, but we take your plumbing seriously. From plumbing repairs to drain cleaning in Ottawa, our John The Plumber team is focused on getting the details right; not just the coffee order. 🔧

🤔 Are you a “write it down” person or an “I’ll definitely remember” person? Be honest. 👇

🚽👀 Are “flushable” wipes actually safe to flush?

🙋‍♂️ Welcome back to FAQ IT Friday Episode 2 with Master Plumber Crispin!

😬 Just because the package says flushable doesn’t necessarily mean it’s going to move through your plumbing system without causing problems.

🧑‍🔧 In this episode, Crispin explains why flushable wipes can contribute to clogged drains and sewer restrictions, especially when they get hung up on older style piping. Unlike toilet paper, wipes are designed to stay intact longer in water, which can become a problem once they enter your drain system.

🚽 When it comes to your toilet, keeping things simple can save you from an unwanted clogged toilet, blocked drain or sewer backup later on.

👋 Welcome to Episode 1 of FAQ IT Friday, our new plumbing Q&A series with Master Plumber Crispin!

🧑‍🔧 In this episode, Crispin explains one of the most important things every homeowner should know during a burst pipe or plumbing emergency: how to stop the flow of water before your plumber arrives.
