We’ll see if any issues develop! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-just-flushed-a-hot-wheels-car#post-2790034 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 22:28:27 +0000 Jennibenni 2790034@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsMini: Good to know! I guess we’ll have to keep bathroom doors closed from now on. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-just-flushed-a-hot-wheels-car#post-2790023 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 19:46:56 +0000 Mommy Finger 2790023@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>DS1 still talks about the toothbrush he flushed. Thankfully I already had a plumber scheduled to come for something else a day or two later. He said that since we didn't have any issues flushing, the toothbrush actually made it all the way through. I mean it's been a few years and no issues. Hopefully you'll be just as lucky! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-just-flushed-a-hot-wheels-car#post-2790020 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 18:28:01 +0000 MsMini 2790020@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My Dad is a plumber and told me if I ever think something has been flushed definitely get the drain snaked ASAP because if a kid is a “flusher” he usually finds WAY more stuff down that drain than you would have ever guessed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-just-flushed-a-hot-wheels-car#post-2789871 Mon, 04 Dec 2017 10:06:50 +0000 bubblegum 2789871@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>COAT HANGER! This happened when we lived in our apartment. It didn't make it that far that I was able to reach it with a wire hanger. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-just-flushed-a-hot-wheels-car#post-2789845 Sun, 03 Dec 2017 22:27:47 +0000 bhbee 2789845@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had something flushed and i think it was relatively simple because it didn’t get far ... but far enough i couldn’t get it out myself. i bet it happens a lot!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-just-flushed-a-hot-wheels-car#post-2789816 Sun, 03 Dec 2017 12:07:36 +0000 Jennibenni 2789816@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mama Bird: 👆🏼 </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-just-flushed-a-hot-wheels-car#post-2789815 Sun, 03 Dec 2017 12:07:21 +0000 Jennibenni 2789815@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Well I didn’t see him actually flush it but he had it in his hand and then said “Uh oh, truck!” And pointed down the toilet. And then told my husband the same thing, plus we can’t find it. DH stuck his hand down and couldn’t feel it. Hopefully it’s a relatively easy fix! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-just-flushed-a-hot-wheels-car#post-2789813 Sun, 03 Dec 2017 12:02:14 +0000 Mama Bird 2789813@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Are you sure it's flushed? All of my hot wheels incidents involved the car hiding just outside of view. Kind of gross to get out, but a plumber didn't need to come. </p> <p>If it is flushed, chances are it didn't get past the trap and a plumber will be able to get it out without any trouble. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-just-flushed-a-hot-wheels-car#post-2789802 Sun, 03 Dec 2017 10:03:01 +0000 macintosh 2789802@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Someone in my house flushed a plastic lid, about 3 inches in diameter. The plumber got it out with a snake. I didn’t know until they found it, but it was causing the toilet to back up into the tub (a problem I had several times). I’d call them today if you can to avoid things building up behind it if you can. I’m sorry, if sucks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/toddler-just-flushed-a-hot-wheels-car#post-2789799 Sun, 03 Dec 2017 09:43:32 +0000 Jennibenni 2789799@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Anyone with experience? How big of a problem is this going to be when I call a plumber tomorrow? Ughhhh 😩 </p>
