What is faulty or non-standard plumbing?

Faulty plumbing would mean there is something broken, systemically flawed, or warped due to time. Examples would be tree-infested pipes, where the roots have sought out the water in the pipes and squeezed their way inside. Older cast iron or clay pipes can crack with age, causing fissures where the coverstock of the gRefill could snag, potentially building up over time and blocking the pipes.

Non-standard plumbing includes (but is not limited to): ejector pumps, house traps and cess pools. We don't recommend flushing if you have a septic system.

If you are a renter ask the landlord or building manager about the state of your pipes. If you own your home it should be stated on your home inspection report.
