Flour is a kitchen staple, but sending it down the drain can cause serious plumbing problems. When flour meets water, it becomes a thick, glue-like paste that sticks to pipes.
This paste traps other debris and food, creating a large clog over time. Mixed with grease and waste, it can form a dense blockage that is difficult to clear. The buildup slows water flow, leading to sluggish drains or complete blockages needing professional service.
Even small amounts of flour can accumulate and raise the risk of clogs. Choose safer disposal methods to avoid plumbing trouble.
