Proper disposal of building debris is key for healthy plumbing. Never pour construction waste, even small particles, down the drain.

Large pieces can instantly block pipes, causing water to back up and expensive repairs. Small bits can stick to pipes and slowly gather into bigger clogs, restricting water flow and causing leaks or failures.

To avoid this, use waste bins for debris or hire professionals to dispose of it safely.
