• Dark scum buildup in toilets and sinks

    Oct.26.2011

    I'm getting a buildup of dark scum in my toilets and sinks. Do you have any idea what this is? I've been in the same house since 2004, but this has only been a problem for about a year. What kind of home filtration system would be best for particulate matter?

    When you have a scum buildup like you describe, there can be several factors that could potentially be the cause. If you have a water filtration system installed, make sure your filters are changed frequently. Also, you may want to have your water quality checked. I suggest you contact a professional plumbing contractor, like ARS/Rescue Rooter, to check and see what contaminants are in your water and then recommend a water filtration system that is best suited for your home.
