Dentures

Yep! Sometimes that clogged sink isn’t caused by too much toothpaste buildup, but by removable dental appliances. Actually, dental appliances like dentures often slip off the vanity and end up in the drain pipes. It really isn’t an unusual circumstance.  It happens more often than you think, but that doesn’t reduce the shock factor when one of our plumbers happens upon a pair of choppers in the P-trap.

Undergarments

Not to get too personal with this example, but undergarments are not meant to be disposed of in the toilet. Our pros know how to keep a straight face when they pull a pair of not-so-tidy-whities out of a clogged drain; however, let’s be honest for a moment. It’s not their proudest moment or yours when they stand in your bathroom explaining the cause of the problem. Do yourself and your plumber a favor and throw undergarments away in the trash can.

Prosthetic Eyeballs

This weird plumbing clog takes the top prize. If you’re thoroughly appalled and a bit sick to your stomach when you read this, you’re not alone. But, it has been known to happen a time or two. People who need prosthetic eyeballs may fumble with the prosthesis and lose it down the sink. If this happens to you, we want you to call us. Sure, our plumbers may be a little squeamish during the retrieval process, but who wouldn’t be? We want to make sure we provide the best service to every single customer. May we just recommend that you thoroughly clean the prosthesis before placing it back in the socket? Or, better yet, please call your physician to determine the proper sanitation steps to take to keep your safe and infection-free. At Rooter Hero Plumbing, we go above and beyond for our customers. No matter what is clogging your drains, we’ll go the extra mile to make sure your needs are taken care of 100%. And, in some cases, if it’s an exceptional circumstance we’ll have a good laugh.
