"The Right Prescription for Comfort" 

We're sure you've heard the expression "don't believe everything you hear." This is especially true when it comes to the internet and plumbing tips! Mitch Wright Plumbing is here to debunk a few plumbing myths that you may have come across while searching the web. 

Myth #1: Minor leaks don't need to be dealt with right away

This is false. Leaky faucets are a plumbing issue and should be dealt with as soon as the issue arises. Not only are you wasting water, but you're wasting money as well! Over time, that slow drip you hear will lead to a higher water bill. 

Myth #2: Flushable Wipes are Flushable 

Don't be deceived by the name. Flushable wipes cause a tremendous amount of plumbing issues! The truth is, flushable wipes don't biodegrade like regular toilet tissue does. If you do have these types of wipes in your bathroom, dispose them in the garbage can and keep them away from the toilet!

Myth #3: Ice Cubes Sharpen Garbage Disposal Blades

This is false. However, ice cubes will help to clean your garbage disposal, but they will not sharpen the blades.
