RMS-Residential Maintenance Systems

Just an fyi for anyone using dishwasher pods.

PSA to anyone using Dishwasher pods with the packed powder like this one. (Cascade, etc)
Our kitchen sink backed up this weekend, and we had no luck with DIY methods. One call to the plumber and a few hundred dollars later, turns out it was our dishwasher pods that have been gumming up our pipes over time. Apparently when this powder is activated with water, it can get stuck in the pipes and create a thick, concrete-like barrier. It had to be scraped out with a special machine. He said he gets calls like these nonstop.
He recommended we switch to liquid dishwasher detergent (or liquid Pods are ok.)
Hopefully this can help someone else avoid a kitchen plumbing catastrophe!
