One of the biggest plumbing myths homeowners still believe?
That "flushable" wipes are actually safe to flush. 🚽
Despite what the packaging says, flushable wipes don't break down like toilet paper. Instead, they can catch on pipe joints, tree roots, and existing buildup, leading to clogged drains, sewer backups, and costly plumbing repairs. It's one of the most common issues our plumbers see in homes across East Tennessee.
The rule is simple: if it isn't toilet paper, it belongs in the trash!!
Following this one habit can help protect your plumbing system and save you from an expensive repair down the road. Follow Wilson Brothers Plumbing for more expert plumbing tips that keep your home running smoothly!
