  • Make sure only human waste and single-ply toilet paper get flushed down your toilet as well. Toilets can clog quite easily, especially if you have an older plumbing system. Finally - avoid flushing flushable wipes down your toilet, too.

Are Flushable Wipes Really Flushable?

No - flushable wipes are not flushable. A common culprit to clogged toilets, and backed-up plumbing systems as a whole, are flushable wipes. Our professional recommendation is to stick with toilet paper and avoid those "flushable" wipes.

Why Flushable Wipes Aren't Flushable

Curious to know why flushable wipes aren't flushable? For this - we'll need to explore the science of toilet paper. Toilet paper is 100% safe to flush down toilets because it disintegrates as soon as it hits the water. This makes it possible for toilet paper to flow freely out of your home through your drainpipes

Flushable wipes, on the other hand, don't break down the same way toilet paper does. Over time they'll likely get stuck in your drainpipe which could result in extensive plumbing issues.

      Drain Cleaning FAQs

      • The cost of clearing a clog varies depending on the location and severity of the problem. For example, a clog under the kitchen sink is easy to access and can probably be resolved in under two hours. The faster a job is likely to be, the less expensive it will be.

        However, some clogs are more complicated to fix. For example, if several of your drains are having issues, you likely have a problem with your main sewer line. If your main sewer line is blocked, you will need the help of a licensed plumbing professional to help.

        Different issues can cause sewer line clogs, but one of the most difficult to fix is tree roots. Tree roots are incredibly powerful and seek nutrients from any nearby sources. If tree roots are causing a block in your main sewer line your sewer line might need to be replaced. This makes the repair much more expensive.
