Billy the Sunshine Plumber can get things flowing smoothly again if your plumbing clogs up.

You stopped for some coffee on your way home from the sponge docks this morning. While you were sipping your coffee, you were reading stories on the internet and one caught your eye. It was about a New Zealand plumber’s video that went viral because it showed a major clog composed of coffee grounds.

The point of the video wasn’t to show the coffee grounds, but to demonstrate what can happen when you keep dumping things down the drain that don’t belong. Coffee grounds are one of those items.

“The sink in the video was inside a commercial building where multiple staff have been sharing the same sink, but the effects over time are the same when putting used coffee straight down the sink at home,” newsweek.com says. “Especially when combined with other foodstuffs in the drain, coffee grounds will settle and solidify, blocking plumbing and requiring a potentially expensive fix.”

Newsweek.com notes you should dump the grounds in the trash or use them in an eco-friendly way – such as ingredients in compost.

If you do happen to dump coffee grounds, or other unwanted material, into your drain and you get a clog you can’t fix, then it’s time to get to know the trusted plumbers at Billy the Sunshine Plumber.
