Toilet Explosions: More Common Than You Might Think

According to WBBH, lightning struck near her septic tank, igniting methane gas and blowing her toilet to pieces.

“It was the loudest noise I’ve ever heard,” Mary Lou Ward told the news station.

Any informed discussion of exploding toilets must start with Flushmate, a line of pressure-assisted flushing systems manufactured by Sloan.

A bunch of them have also blown up.

In response to more than 1,700 reports of bursting Flushmate II and III units, Sloan has recalled millions of the devices in recent years.

The pressure involved is strong enough to shatter toilet tanks, turning them into flying shards of porcelain.
