The holidays are filled with family, friends, and hearty meals—and we don't need to tell you what that means for your bathroom. Hosting guests is a real commitment. More toilet paper and more flushing means a higher risk of clogs and overflows in your home's plumbing system, and few things are more stressful (or embarrassing) than a toilet disaster when your home is full of people.

That’s where Flush Guard™ Anti-Overflow Toilets come in, and we're thrilled that they reached out to introduce themselves. The company patented a revolutionary solution that combines high-efficiency flushing with overflow protection, and honestly, what took them so long? We've needed this.

Flush Guard is the Ultimate Holiday Hero

Hosting isn’t just about cooking a great meal; it’s also about making your home guest-ready. Having a functional bathroom where you needn't worry about the toilet overflowing should be at the top of that checklist.

Patented Anti-Overflow Technology

"Modern, high-efficiency toilets are designed to flush with less water, but this makes it challenging to avoid clogs and increases the potential for toilet overflows," shares Barry Jacobs, SVP of Product Development at FGI Industries. "That’s why the overflow protection of Flush Guard™ Anti-Overflow Toilets is more important than ever. Flush Guard™ Toilets have the highest flush rating on the market—but if they should clog, the patented anti-overflow technology diverts the rising excess water through three holes at the back of the toilet bowl to a secondary drain pathway. So even if the main trapway gets completely clogged, this separate drain still works to prevent an overflow and subsequent water damage. Flush Guard™ Anti-Overflow Toilets takes away the fear of overflows (aka 'Overflowbia') so you can 'Go in Peace.'"

He adds, "And the most innovative part of this type of toilet is that the secondary drain pipe is connected to the flush system, so dirty water gets fully washed out with a clean water supply in every single flush."
