The Hazards of Pouring Flour Down Drains

Flour is a kitchen staple, but pouring it down the drain can create major plumbing issues. When mixed with water, flour forms a sticky, glue-like paste that adheres to pipes.

This paste can trap other debris, leading to significant clogs over time. When combined with grease, it forms dense blockages that are difficult to remove. Even small amounts of flour can contribute to slow drains or full blockages.

To avoid plumbing troubles, dispose of flour properly and keep it out of your drains.
