Toilet Issue: New York City Named Nation's Cloggiest

While nearly two-in-five Americans have faced a blocked toilet, residents of New York City experience clogs more frequently than other cities -- earning it the title of the nation's cloggiest city. Miami/Fort Lauderdale, Los Angeles and Philadelphia follow, according to a national survey commissioned by Scott Tissue and Clog Clinic. Residents of Seattle/Tacoma encounter the fewest toilet obstructions.

Clog Clinic researchers say toilet clogs frequently occur during heavy flushing periods -- like halftime of the Big Game and Black Friday, the day after the Thanksgiving feast. The Clog Clinic says others most at risk of clogs and plumbing issues include those with low flow toilets, a septic-tank system, homes with older plumbing, and R-Vs or a boat with a toilet. One-of-four survey respondents say weddings or other large parties held at someone's home come to mind for being the cloggiest occasions, followed by the day after Thanksgiving, 19 percent; the Super Bowl, 18 percent, and Christmas, 13 percent.

Here are the top 10 cloggiest cities, based on a survey of 25-hundred Americans in the top 25 markets:

1. New York
2. Miami/Fort Lauderdale
3. Los Angeles
4. Philadelphia
5. Houston
6. Atlanta
7. Chicago
8. Portland, OR
9. Indianapolis
10. San Francisco Bay Area

The cities with the lowest clog rating are:

1. Seattle/Tacoma
2. Denver
3. Minneapolis/St. Paul
4. Orlando Area
5. Baltimore
