In all seriousness, avoid flushing ‘flushable’ wipes or sanitary supplies down the toilet🚽. They do not break down the way toilet paper 🧻 does and will clog pipes🪠 resulting in hefty plumbing costs.

Here’s more information about ’flushable wipes’ and the damage they can cause:

Sewer System Damage

In the event that the wet wipes you flushed aren’t caught in the pipes or create blockage and would reach the sewer system, they can still create some damage and cause havoc to the sewer system of the City.

They Don’t Break Apart

Unlike toilet paper that usually breaks apart in about 24 hours or so, wet wipes will remain whole even when flushed down the bowl. Many plumbing experts would agree that wet wipes have been found intact within drain pipes even after months of being flushed.

The Fatberg Effect

This happens when wet wipes combine with the fat, grease, and other dirt trapped in the pipes creating an iceberg-like formation. These formations create huge clogs in plumbing pipes and drains. Some fatbergs can be up to 10 ft and weigh more than 100 lbs.

Wall of Wipes

The older your home, the more vulnerable your home’s pipes are to corrosion. When you flush wet wipes down the drains, they get tangled with everything else down there resulting in a wall of wipes that would be very difficult to break up.

Let’s talk about water pressure!!! Here in Tennessee we are seeing water pressure rising to damaging levels, and it is causing a real problem for homeowners. Any water pressure above 80psi will cause damage to pipes, fittings and fixtures. I have been seeing pressures well over 100psi on a regular basis. We are seeing faucets that are dripping from damage to o-rings and gaskets. There is damage to water heaters, and fittings that are failing and causing leaks in the home, the crawl space, and underground.
The problem is concerning enough that the state of Tennessee is requiring licensed plumbers and contractors to have the homeowners sign a form when the water pressure to the home is higher than 80psi, and will cause damage. The local water authorities have had to increase pressure in an attempt to get water out to all the new construction, to make up for shortcomings in the infrastructure.
We can check your water pressure and if it is too high, there is a solution. A pressure regulating valve can be installed that keeps the water pressure at a safe level, and can save money and headaches down the road.
You can give us a call here at Honor Plumbing, and we will come out and test the pressure.

This was one of the most difficult kitchen Sink and faucet installations that I have ever done. The faucet was special ordered by the homeowner and hand made in Morocco, and when it arrived it had over 30 pieces in the box with no instructions. It also had a chunk of a weld in one of the fittings, and I had to grind it out to get it to go together properly without leaking. We are willing to go the extra mile to ensure our customers are happy with the end result.
