The plumbing fault
Clip-on toilet fresheners and rim blocks can lodge inside the trap or move further into the waste pipe. Repeated flushing may make retrieval more difficult.

These photographs show two separate plumbing call-outs in Cosby with the same avoidable cause: a plastic toilet rim freshener had become dislodged, entered the toilet trap and caused a blockage.

What we found
Clip-on toilet fresheners and rim blocks can lodge inside the trap or move further into the waste pipe. Repeated flushing may make retrieval more difficult.
What AFS did
On each visit, AFS located and removed the obstruction so the toilet could flush and drain correctly again. These are two genuine Cosby call-outs, not before-and-after photographs from one job.
Useful guidance
Where possible, choose products that cannot fall into the bowl. If a holder disappears into the toilet, avoid flushing again and arrange professional removal before it travels further.
