Flushable is not always safe for plumbing

Many wipes are labeled “flushable,” but the reality is they don’t break down like toilet paper. Instead, they stay intact in your pipes, catching debris and building up over time leading to serious clogs and sewer backups. We regularly see costly plumbing emergencies caused by wipes blocking lines, damaging pumps, and backing up into homes. What seems convenient at the moment can turn into a major repair. The rule is simple: if it’s not toilet paper, don’t flush it. Protect your home and your plumbing system by disposing of wipes in the trash, not the toilet. If you’re experiencing slow drains or suspect a blockage, call or text KMB today!
