Do you recall when you used a wet wipe for the first time, and never touched toilet paper again? It felt great, and you developed the urge to visit the bathroom more often, right? They do a great job, but that doesn’t mean they are entirely great! The packaging says, “flushable,” but are they safe? We are about to find out.
Slower Breakdown
Manufacturers market wipes as “flushable and septic safe.” They make the consumers believe there’s no problem with flushing them down the toilet. Yes, there’s a big problem, and it can turn catastrophic on you!
Though they break down, eventually, they take longer compared to toilet paper. Since wipes are a bit slower, blockages and piped clogs happen frequently. As a result, you might have to dig deeper into your pockets for plumbing repairs.
Ragging
When the “flushable” wipes go down to the sewer line, they get caught up with other items. Paper towels, thick toilet paper, cotton swabs, sanitary pads, dental floss, and toilet cleaning towels, all end up in the sewer line.
When all these items mix with wet wipes, they form a mess of blockage known as “ragging.” When this happens, you either pack and leave the house, which is not a smart way of solving things, or grab your phone and call us!
What You Need to Do
Although manufacturers provide test results to prove that their wipes are safe to flush, there’s evidence the wipes clog the sewer lines frequently. Wipes may appear like the greatest invention since flush toilets, but you should roll back to toilet paper. It’s the only thing meant to be flushed.
Final Words
Just because someone said something, especially if it’s a company marketing its products, doesn't mean it’s true, even under oath. That applies to the wipes also, and their deceptive packaging. If your home experiences frequent clogs, whether by wet wipes or anything else, that’s a critical situation requiring a quick solution.
Our professionals are always available for your call, whether it’s a minor clog or not. A small clog will develop into big one overtime. You can also shoot us an email, and we’ll get back to you.

When you own a home, it can be very expensive, and you don't want to hear that your pipe needs to be repaired. If that's the case, it's only a matter of how much it will cost. In the past, underground pipe repair required several days and a lot of digging, as well as significant property damage. Now, trenchless pipe repair allows plumbers to fix a pipe in less than a day with minimal digging. While this technique is becoming more common, many homeowners have questions. Here are some things to consider. Expenses up front It is also possible to choose a plumber more easily because traditional pipe repair is more common. A traditional pipe repair typically costs $50 to $250 per foot, not including the cost of repairing the property. In trenchless pipe repair, there are two methods available: Lateral Pipe Lining: This method uses an existing pipe, and adds an epoxy layer to cover cracks and irregularities in the pipe, creating a new pipe. The cost of lateral pipe lining can range from $80 to $250 per foot. Bursting: Using a pneumatic or hydraulic head, this method destroys the old pipe and replaces it with a new one. It is usually cheaper than lateral pipe lining, ranging between $60 and $200 per foot of pipe replaced. Traditional repair methods appear to be cheaper on paper, but they aren't always the most cost-effective. Uncovering hidden costs There are costs associated with traditional pipe repairs that are not included in the initial estimate. The cost of excavating the old pipe, for example, may not be included, or another contractor may be required. In addition, moving any heavier objects that are over the sewer line can be costly. In the end, even though the initial cost covers everything, it probably won't cover the cost of repairing a driveway or landscaping that is damaged. Homeowners often pay thousands of dollars to get their property back to the way it was. Trenchless repairs avoid these costs because they are minimally invasive. No ground is ripped up, and no additional work is required. When it comes to repairing a broken pipe, trenchless repairs are generally cheaper, more cost-effective, and easier to perform. A professional can help you maintain your pipes. It's important to call a professional if you think a pipe needs to be repaired.
