Sure, I could research and find out about airwaves and how sound travels to try to grasp the concept of the telephone... but would that make me less in awe of the way that I can press a few buttons and talk to someone on the other side of the world? Probably not.
In the same way, I get that somehow all of the pipes in our house are connected to a water source that can instantly pump in gallons of water when I go to fill the bathtub, but overall it still baffles me a bit.
What I do know is that when it comes to plumbing, it's not something that I want to mess with. Which is why I appreciate that Charmin is making that even easier with the introduction of the Charmin Basic.
Ever wonder what happens to your toilet paper when it’s flushed? If you've wanted to find out, Charmin has created an informative video that evaluates its toilet paper to ensure that it is safe for all the places it might end up after flushing (drain lines, sewers, septic tanks, and municipal wastewater treatment plants).
As the video explains, extensive tests show that when Charmin is used as intended in a properly functioning plumbing system, it shouldn't cause plumbing problems. In fact, Charmin has been a reliable bath tissue, trusted in millions of Americans' homes, for over 70 years!
Right now, CVS is expanding its assortment of Charmin by carrying Charmin Basic 1 roll. Charmin Basic is two times stronger than the leading value brand when wet, meaning that you change your toilet paper roll less often. Plus, because it's a stronger product so you use less, which ends up saving money.
Combine that with the fact that Charmin Basic has been tested and proven safe for your plumbing system, and it's a win-win!
If you're ready to put Charmin Basic to the test, as well as see what other high quality P&G products CVS carries, you're in luck! Because thanks to the generosity of Proctor & Gamble...
One lucky person will win a CVS P&G Prize Pack*!
*Prize Pack includes: (1) $10 CVS Gift Card, (1) Charmin Basic 1 roll, (1) Febreze Candle, and (1) Febreze NOTICEables Warmer and Refills
Loading Entry-Form...
...A big thank you to Proctor & Gamble for providing a prize pack for me as well as for one lucky giveaway winner. The opinions shared are my own and honest and if you really need to see more, click here to see how I roll.

All the time! This house was built in the 30's and it's slowly trying to get me to replace all pipes, little by little. 2012 I had the pipes to the tub replaces, a pipe in the basement, the kitchen and bathroom sink faucets replaces and the shut off valve to the toilet replaced. And that's all I can remember off hand!

Not in this apartment, but when I was living in my grandparents' basement a few years ago, their septic tank backed up into the basement. I spent weeks cleaning everything!
Backed up septic field.. eww!
hanovertomato@yahoo.com
A few years back I was babysitting my younger brother while my parents were out of town. One morning I woke up to find that he had accidentally caused the upstairs toilet to overflow. It drenched half of the upstairs carpet and caused a ton of water damage. It was a nightmare, especially with our insurance!

I did when my sons were younger, we had alot of clogging, but they are getting better now.
Brittney House BBrittBrat1398@yahoo.com
Sort of. We thought our pipes had frozen because the water wouldn't turn on in our house. We almost called the plumber out and found out that a water tower down the road had leaked.
Super Embarrassing story: When we moved to a new town, no one told us the plumbing in half the town is HORRIBLE! You can't flush any...um..feminine products. I didn't know this until one day all of our toilets started leaking and overflowing. I called the landlord and he sent out plumbers..three guys of course, that had to snake the system. They came to tell me what was clogging the pipes and wouldn't look at me. So embarrassing.
Thank you for the giveaway!
When we first moved into our house (that we rent) it was a mess and nothing worked. Awesome right? Thank god for having contractor for a FIL.

If your toilet gets clogged continuously, you should change toilet paper brands. It worked for us.
The first week we moved into our home the tub was clogged up
mightynaynay(at)cs.com
We sure have. Upstairs toilet plugs up so easily, my husband has to fix it at least once a week.
Toys do NOT go in the toilet! Lol
Unfortunately I have experienced some plumbing mishaps.
The toilet downstairs used to overflow all the time until we had it fixed.

Wow any plumbing issues!! I have a issue with my basement floor drains backing up at least twice a year. Its a lot of work to clean up the aftermath after I call a plummer to snake the drains. It's disgusting.
we have one right now, getting a new toilet this weekend, ours is leaking and old.
I was running a load in the washing machine and the hose broke. Before I noticed it my whole kitchen floor had about an inch of water on it. Fun day.

About 3 weeks after purchasing my house the kitchen sink became clogged and I needed a plumber to fix it.
My shower exploded a couple of weeks ago.

None so far! Knock on wood that it stays that way.
We installed a toilet in the basement...but the floor wasn't perfectly level so it didn't seal correctly and leaked all over..
Leave a comment on this blog post telling me if you have ever had any plumbing mishaps in your house.

Sure. Who hasn't had a ring go down the drain? Thank goodness for that bend. It was in the trap!
blocked outside drain... huge lump of lard was pulled out and it was fine after.
Just this last week We had to replace a Bathtub faucet set. Problem was it was busted inside the wall(master bedroom 5 feet from my bed)! The access door was only 8" x 8" near the floor no where near the back of the plumbing. I had to CUT a hole in my wall 3ft x 3ft with an old steak knife ! Then I had to keep replacing towels for over two week until we could FIND a Faucet set for mobile homes. There Was not cut off value unless under home & cover with insulation...besides if I would have cut it off to my whole house. All this while we are trying to have christmas. It was such a pain in the *ugh ugh*

Ps: just got it fixed last friday & covered the hole for now with a big piece of cardboard!
Our toilet overflows easily. One time, it overflowed on my mom in law. She came running out with her pants around her legs, her arm in a cast and screaming. Not a sight easily forgotten.

We had a plumbing mishap in our last house. My 2 year old son threw a weeble toy down the toilet. The plumber had to take the toilet apart to get it out.
