I'm Agent H. United Utilities SewerSquad. I'm on the left-hand side of the picture below. I'm part of the elite rapid response team.

We need to get a few things straight. You've probably been hearing all sorts of rumours over the last few months. You may have heard gurgling noises from your sink or strange bumps from your bathroom. You might even have seen sloppy footprints or glimpsed something shadowy and unusual sneaking about.  If you've heard rumours of a slime monster I can now confirm it's not a rumour.

But there's no need to panic..

Although the consequences are dire, the cause is simple. When people throw things down the toilet or pour fat down the plughole in their sink it builds up in the pipes. As you can imagine, it's pretty slimy nasty stuff.

The slime then seems to take on a life of it's own and works its way back towards people's houses with the sole aim of wreaking as much havoc as it can. The consequences, as you may have seen, are pretty upsetting.

The monsters are easy to beat. It's all about knowing what not to flush.

You're in the right place to be in the know and protect your home.

Read the What Not To Flush page to get the right information. It's really very simple.
