Coffee grounds and plumbing?
|
|
|
| I had a plumber tell me "Never put coffee grounds down the sink".
I don't know why,and I'm asking for your advice.
I have a septic tank. Would this make a difference?
PS: I no longer have this plumber,as he has messed up mostly everything
he touched. I won't even call him back to fix leaks that he "fixed".
Thanks for any help.

Google for:
+"coffee grounds" +plumbing
You'll get a zillion hits telling you that coffee grounds are notorious
for clogging drains and quite a few saying not to let them get into
septic systems either.
With that many warnings, I think you ought to believe them and your ex
plumber regardless of your other reasons for not respecting his
knowledge and skills.
HTH.
