Wipes flushed down the toilet can become a real headache and it doesn’t matter if you are on a sewer or septic system, the problem is the same.

While plumbing is designed to carry waste water away from toilets and drains, there are always going to be bends and turns in these lines that can cause snags.

It’s not just the potential to cause blockages within your plumbing or sewer lines though, this inability to biodegrade is wreaking havoc elsewhere too.

Interuption in biodegration is leading to an overabundance of solid waste material in septic systems which can cause sewer backup in your home as well as larger problems in septic fields, your yard, drainage area and even nearby streams. Always check with drain cleaning edmonton professional.

Even large cities are having problems processing sewage due to the inability of wipes to dissolve. In some places this has already lead to increased spending on sewer infrastructure to install grinders designed to breakdown these solids. This all leads to extra costs and increased taxation at the city level. 

The best solution is to be a part of the solution. Wipes are simply not flushable, to avoid these extra costs and keep your pipes and sewer system operating properly do not flush wipes!
